Thats the spirit. I can relate to your adjustment in a minor way. Retina of right eye detatched some time ago, too severe for laser to repair. After a few operations ( interesting those, local anesthetic only) the specialists are congratulating each other on a fine piece of surgery. The fact that I am still practically blind in the right eye doesn't detract from their backslapping. Problems include an inability to focus, distorted image (hourglass distortion with a missing area in middle) image larger than other eye and eye points in different direction than other. Its an interesting world. What I miss most of all is my closerange three dimensional vision. Inconvenient for someone who likes tinkering with mechanical things, constructing electronics projects and photography. Dangerous for someone who works with chemicals, pouring from one containor to another can be quite interesting. Hey but life goes on, its an interesting world, adaptation is the name of the game, I am very lucky to live in a country where I can not only live well but still be a useful member of society. Would be very difficult in some third world countries. and good on you Pat from scewing the polsters. Regards Paul, Live Simple so that Others May Simply Live.
