& dream. Most of my disability involves lesions on my frontal & occipital lobes which has wreaked havoc on my vision, cognitive abilities, & fine motor skills. My neuorologist in the military was a complete douche & watched me deteriorate for the last 4 years. If I can finally get care to help me get well enough to where daily activities don't cause me to become bedridden for days I will be there in a heartbeat.

It was great talking to you.
