actually I probably wont go blind.
but I got close.
I quit smoking. and started eating.
which wasn't smart for a diabetic.
I am a skinny diabetic. Just my luck!
and the old blood sugar went through the roof.
and I can't see diddly.
or Bo.
which is terrible. (R.I.P. Bo)

I'm just starting to get my vision back from Dr.s Blurry, Fuzzy and Fog.
I use my reading glasses to see the tv!
Nothing worked for a couple of weeks close up.

which was horrible since I build guitars and amps.
you cant solder blind, you get hot fingertips.

But it's clearing up so.. soon I'll be working more than a couple of hours. which is about all I can stand because everything takes three times longer when you have to look through gauze, which is how well I see.
still I made these

sorry I'm so slow.. really up to my neck since my eyes stopped helping.
but they are back to normal now. after meds..
first meds.. I farted constantly.. what a two weeks that was.. terrible stuff.
but the doc switched them and now I can stand myself.
My eyes aren't 100% back but at least down to one pair of reading glasses instead of three.

blood sugars good too.
now I can catch up on work.

thanks man I appreciate the kind words it just took me a while to get back in!
