> Thanks for asking! The pressure in both eyes was down to normal on Tuesday. I'm feeling quite down about it today though. I thought I knew at last ( i'm 46) what I was to do with my life, but now my eyes and hands are failing as well as my mind. Not knowing how to plan for what lies ahead really bothers me too. A blind visual artist leaves a little something to be desired, don't you think ?I'm sorry it must be terrible to have a creative talent and to lose the means of expressing that talent. But is losing your sight inevitable ? Can't it be treated? Doesn't your artistic talent help with your depression? Sorry to be nosey but these questions are just popping out. I myself am looking at a similar abysm. I,m nearly 49, my marriage is breaking up because of my depression and fatigue . I've never been able to hold down a job for the same reason. So I'm unemployable with 2 school-age children . My husband calls me a'mala sem alça' which is portuguese for a suitcase without handles. Graphic description don't you think?. Best Wishes Jan
