[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183017, member: 1991"] That's a good point, Fran, about whether 'needing medication indefinitely' is a problem. I need glasses. I've had to wear them since I was 8 years old. I probably should have had them much sooner. I cannot go without glasses. If I had not had glasses, life would be much more difficult for me. I would have adapted, but I would also have to stay near home and limit myself and my achievements to home duties. I would be able to paint, to sew and to read, but I would probably be a danger in the kitchen. I wouldn't recognise people's faces and would need a white cane to get around on unfamiliar ground. I am very glad I have the option of wearing glasses. Without them I would still function, but with them I can achieve so much more. I put medication in the same category as needing glasses. Or hearing aids. Or any sort of support. No man is an island. We are social creatures, we use each other, we use props, we all work united in society to make life better for all of us. Marg [/QUOTE]
