A Message to the Gang of Five from Nick22

[Nick22]

Hello Everyone.  My apologies for being absent for so long.  I have been recovering from several surgeries.  I have tidings to share and unfortunately they are not good news.  I have learned that I have suffered significant and permanent vision loss in my one working eye, which obviously impacts my ability to read, write and participate in forums like the Gang of Five.  Despite this, I intend to continue to administrate this forum and continue the role plays, Insane Cafe Four and Adventures in Tuneworld, that I have started.  I am in the process of getting adaptive equipment to allow myself to do this.  I have been a member of this community for nearly 21 years and I intend to continue to be one for the foreseeable future.  Please bear with me as I make these life adjustments.  Hope to be back soon.  Nick

It is good to hear from you again, Nick, though I am terribly sorry that it’s come under these circumstances.

I’m sure that with appropriate adaptive technology that you can resume on the forum as you did before. Thankfully, this is one area where technology has progressed significantly over the years.

If we can be of any assistance to you during this difficult time, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Hey Nick! Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I really didn't know what to write so I wanted to think things over for a bit.

We are very glad to hear from you. Many of us were concerned about your inactivity.

I am so sorry to hear about the vision loss. I really hope you can get the support needed to learn to work with this very limited vision. If there's anything we can do for you, please let us know.

Good to hear from you despite the circumstances.  I agree with rhombus that technology these days has advanced a lot and I believe you will find a way to stay involved despite complications.  We are here for you.
