We are going to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore in April to see a specialist. Hopefully, we will have some good news, but at least we would like to know what this is and what to expect. It acts like Macular Degeneration, but the doctors at Dean McGee in OKC say its not anything they have ever seen. Anyway, we heard about support groups from Hadley School for Blind and have been looking for one for the last six months.

I am currently taking an online course from Hadley School for the Blind on Self-Help Groups and feel it would be good for both of us. (http://www.hadley.edu/)
