Losing one of the five senses

[Rocky]

wow this thread and the timing I got some news is quite uncanny actually. One of my childhood friends that I hung out with (our families were good friends and stuff), he is a football player for a local college. Anyways, he's always had back problems since he was younger but playing football obviously didn't help so he went into surgery about a month ago. Apparently the surgeons who operated on him ended up nicking a wrong nerve, and now he is permanently blind, and after being seen by many different doctors, it sounds like the condition is irreversible. I'm going to his wellness benefit tomorrow with my family.


All sad stories aside, I'd hate to lose my sense of vision, or any other of my senses for that matter. If anything I could do without my sense of smell since it's terrible anyways.

Oh wow... I'm sorry that happened to your friend... I hope the benefit raises good money for him, and also lifts his spirits. I can imagine that something like that would be quite devastating to have happen so suddenly to a person.
