Thanks so much for the support and the kind words and so glad you enjoy my work. Coincidentally I happened to read your comment while waiting at the Retina specialists office and it lifted my spirits. Thanks so much for the well wishes, my vision is slowly resolving itself; its been a humbling experience but have learned to adapt quite well..
