Hi Steve,

I was touched by your message. Having been a speech language pathologist in my active years I've seen countless people who had strokes and I know that this is one of the most terrible things to get.

Your brain is still in good shape and your language is also unaffected - that's the good news. The really bad news is what's happened to your vision - I think, no-one can understand this better than I, being blind on the left eye and having only a very smal slot left in the right one. In the first place I do wish you that the macula degeneration doesn't develop any worse or at least, if it does, that it will as slowly as possible.

I admire the way you are taking that fate - and I am sure that acceptance is the first and most important way to get along with all the deficits such a poor vision comes along with.

Acceptance, pragmatism, patience and not giving up, finding work-arounds whenever something seems to be too difficult - that's what helped and helps me and I am sure that this is no bad advice.

I do hope that you have loving and caring people around you and I wish you all the best - try to keep your head up high and don't give up making great music.

Stefan
