Mary Ann Franco,from Florida, a great-grandmother of two, needed spinal surgery recently after she injured her neck from a fall at home. When she woke up in the hospital, she said to the nurse, according to ABC News affiliate WPBF-TV:
“Lady, you with all that purple on you, give me something for pain."
She said her niece asked her, “What did you say, Mary?’”
And that’s when she realized she could see again... in color. Before her car accident, Franco said she was color-blind, but isn't anymore.
“Out the window, I could see the trees,” she told WPBF-TV. “I could see the houses and stuff.”
Her neurosurgeon, Dr. John Afshar, believes the car accident may have kinked an artery in her spine, restricting blood flow to the part of her brain that controls vision. He told WPBF-TV he may have unwittingly unkinked the artery when he performed her spinal surgery.
“It really is truly a miracle,” Dr. Afshar said to WPBF-TV. “I’ve never seen it, never heard of it.”
Franco called it an act of God.
“I believe he just went ahead and give it to me, he give me back my sight,” Franco said to WPBF-TV. “I really believe this with all my heart.”
