without coming across as whining. Sorry to hear about your eyes. I find a strange humor in sitting back watching certain parts of our bodies fail. I have my own issues which will be issues till they kill me, but I'm strangely cool with it. It's the unexpected add ons that feel like the real kick in the pants. Just when you learn to cope, everything changes.

Good luck and I hope you find a good Plan D or E or whichever you're on. I don't even know which plan I'm on. A quote from a movie I just watched, "life is like a wave, if you just stand there it will knock you down, but if you dive in you'll come out on the other side".
