Welcome back to the list Bill. I think your story is a great example
on why if you love motorcycling, you just got to get back on if
you've had a crash. You never know what else life has in store for
you, so you might as well enjoy the time you're here. Hope you eye
makes a good recovery.
I've been hit in the eye a couple of times by debri working on old
houses, and after visiting a doctor to have a small piece of metal
removed from my eye, I now make a habit of wearing eye protection,
just like Norm Abrams always warns you. I may look like a geek, but
at least I can be assured my enjoyment of life and my lively hood are
better protected. I can't think of a single disability that would
hurt me more than losing my sight.
