      Right, like my father who only now has been forced to retire at 70 after a covid induced blood clot behind his eye took his vision. He only had the one good eye after an accident in his teens blinded the other, and he doesn’t complain about the near total blindness, he complains about the boredom from lack of stuff to do.
