Hi Adrien,
You have got a lot on your plate -- but you don't complain.
You are fortunate that you can live with your parents -- although
I'm sure there are lots of times you would like to be on your own.
Do you have a computer that talks to you? I knew a guy who was a
accountant. He was blind and his computer talked to him.
When I was diagnosed (DX) 47 years ago my doctor told me that I
could be without szs for 20 years and they may come back. For that
reason I decided to would always stay on my meds.
When I was DX 47 years ago I had 3 daughters 2, 4, and 6 plus a
husband (now ex). I've learned a lot from this group.
By the way-- are you male or female? In the US it could be either.
Millie
