Tough deal there, as I understand it, not a lot can be done for that disease? A lot of my sight deterioration comes from years of abuse (don't need a helmet just to tack), and most lately some meds I'm on, one for kidneys, one for arthritis, that both cause a gradual loss of some vision... Given the choice between good eyesight and dialysis it wasn't a real tough decision to make!!! Now I just have to get new glasses a couple times a year...

Another thing about welding by Braille, the gloves sure don't last very long!!!!!!

Guess if we can't laugh about our health problems a guy could wind up depressed or something!!!!!
