Re: medical problems
Look forward to it Cappy good health,
Just a thought ............Can a blind person be extraordinarily visual.
Helen Keller - (1880 - 1968) - Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968) was an American author, activist and lecturer. She was the first deaf/blind person to graduate from college. She was not born blind and deaf; it was not until nineteen months of age that she came down with an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain", which could have possibly been scarlet fever or meningitis. The illness did not last for a particularly long time, but it left her deaf and blind. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She is remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities amid numerous other causes. Terry.

Re: medical problems
Whilst there are some terrible stories coming out of hospitals, and we get them here in Oz, they are a very minute number.
But of course the media blow it all up out of proportion, never telling of the thousands how are more than happy with the outcome.


Happy daze John in Oz.
