Best wishes to you! I know it can be scary when things like this happen to you. When I first found out about my vision loss etc. I really started to freak out, however, that only made things worse.
To tell you the truth aside from my wife and kids, having the Firebird to work on, car friends and this website have actually helped me out a lot with the physcological part of my ordeal.
Hopefully you find this site as calming as I do as I trully appreciate all the good people on here and the encouragement I get from everyone etc...
