That thought has occurred to me many times.(usually after I fall over 
something).My father has RP and is totally blind.He has never confronted 
it head-on.He is wasting-away in his basement.We have all tried to get 
him out and do something,but he refuses.I guess what I'm getting at is 
I've never had any real support or good role models to help me.A cane is 
like the final blow.Sound's like my Pop huh? I stay in touch with a lot 
of groups like "The Cleveland Society For the Blind",they have been very 
helpful.Thank's for your concern.
