In reply to the discussion: Rep. Dan Crenshaw says he will be 'effectively blind' for a month after emergency eye surgery [View all]Warpy
(111,245 posts)13. Blindness sucks and I don't wish it on anyone, not even Dumdum
I'm in the transition right now, vision's about 20/100 with glasses. Worst thing is not driving, everything has become a major struggle.
So I feel for Cranshaw. I would hope a month of inactivity, frustration, and self reflection would get him to reassess his politics, but that hope is faint, indeed. After all, I've had a couple of years of it and it hasn't mellowed me, at all.

I wish him well, but have zero hope that this experience will give him an ounce of empathy.
