At this point he has practically no vision, can't drive or anything like that, or read anymore. He's got a a tape recorder thing that he can play special tapes on from the blind assoc. and also a special viewer for the TV, but he said even that doesn't do much. He really had to fight to get disability, so it's good your mom has a lawyer helping her out. It's a long and frustrating process.
O, thats bad. Im sorry to hear that about your dad

The hospital we went to was our county hospital. I dont even think there is a private hospital in our county.
