Gerry: I've been a carepartner for l2 yr.- know right where your coming from... All of it gets so tiresome and lately my husband has particularly had to struggle against eyes that just won't let him be creative with his hands like he used to be - it is so disheartening for me to take over doing so many things he used to do him- self and know he has to just sit back and watch as others get the job done. I encourage him but he's getting more and more frustrated with his eye problems - just some really knowledgable answers would be something - but evidently the opthamologists with substantial answers are fewer and farther between than the neuro's .....so we continue to find the things we can do and keep searching.....
