Phil, I am very glad they found out what was wrong and that you are on your 
way back.

Believe me, I know from firsthand experience how important it is to have an 
advocate on your side and how woefully ignorant the medical profession is 
about the capability of blind people.  And what's worse in a lot of cases is 
that they don't want to know about it.  After my accident on February 5th of 
2008 which was followed by 8 weeks of in patient care, I saw how important 
it was to have a hard head and to have a big mouth.  You really need to 
stand your ground at times.  Of course there are times when you should 
listen to the medical personnel, but there are also times when you must 
trust your own instincts.  If I had trusted mine more, I would have never 
ended up in a skilled nursing facility which I promptly left after 6 days 
and would have left sooner if I could have.  That facility could have better 
been described as an unskilled hell hole which was only in the business for 
the insurance money.  Good luck, and may God be with you.  I will pray for 
you.
Harvey
