sorry to drop out guys I'm functionally blind and reading and writing are too difficult for me to even read the thread much, let alone post. I only get on FR or most other sites rarely. I have to use what limited abilities I have to slog through my work. Written stuff takes me an order of magnitude longer to get through and you wouldn't believe how carefully I have to proof read to make sure I haven't misread or mistyped something. "Semi" transplant surgery last month to try to fix things didn't work. In fact it made things worse. We're looking at a redo of that procedure in March. if that doesn't work we probably do a full on corneal transplant soon after. Celiac is mostly stabilized. The biggest thing there is that I'm now 90 pounds lighter. I needed to lose the weight but 18 months of involuntary bulimia while they tried to find out what was wrong wasn't the way I'd suggest going about it. If you remember me limping or using a cane at the last Tech Ed that was actually from another arthritis like symptom of the Celiac disease. I'm only on FR this morning to try to find news about the earthquake in Chile and reports about the tsunami. I'm spending the bulk of my limited online time right now keeping up with friends and news related to the death of the trainer at SeaWorld. We were friends with her and a few of the other folks there for over a decade, though we haven't been in touch in a couple of years. We were actually with her the morning after the last incident with that whale. I won't go into it here but the news reports about the other two incidents are grossly inaccurate, at least based on what she told us. I miss you guys a lot. Keep up the good fight. the above took me over 30 minutes. I hope it's coherent
