Tom,I appreciate your feedback.I don't think you're being "hard on 
me",just realistic.Are you totally blind?,if so have you been that way 
from birth? I feel different than all of you because I can still see 
pretty good.I mean,I still drive during the day!My father has told me 
several times how,"sorry",he is about the RP.I have two children,one is 
a boy. I knew ahead of time that he risked getting RP also,but it's not 
the worst thing he would ever have to deal with.I plan to set a good 
example for them as this progresses.If that means using a cane then 
that's what I'll do.It's just a hard thing to admit I'll need one.
