• Do you still remember...?

• Hi everyone,
  
  Can you believe me when I tell you that I cannot remember with precición what I was able to see before I was diagnosed!!!??? I mean, I feel as if it's been a long long time since I started to lose my sight. Very often I ask my wife "Was I able to read this or to see that?". I hardly recognise a face until he or she is very close to me. Immediatly, I wonder "Was I able to recognise this man or woman from that distance under that condition of light?" Simply it's difficult for me to answer this question.
  
  . Well, I just would like to hear from you and know what you think.

• Luis,
  
  Memories fade, thank God. Many a sad poem has been written about fading memories but there is a different happier perspective. It lets us heal and live in the present and not dwell in the past.
  
  To answer your question yes I still remember but my sight only started to noticeably fade in the last 10 years so I still have a lot of functional sight remaining but not enough to play racquetball or most other sports. :-(
