Tom,
Hang in there

Sorry to hear about your eye problem. Hope you continue to visit the site and keep in touch with everyone anyway.
I know it's a chiche' and I'm sure you already know but, sometimes a big bump in the road can steer you to a whole new set of exiciting and rewarding experiences. ie- (just a suggestion)- something else that keeps you close to cycles besides riding.
Take Care,
Bob
