>But there's still the occasional person who avoids me like the plague. It's hard for me to believe this, but I don't want to believe you. >For those who can't imagine anything worse than losing your sight I don't think it would be the worst, but I have trouble writing code as it is; don't kid yourself, you're a bad ass. >Not having to look at yourself in the mirror anymore can actually be liberating. I solved this by ignoring the mirror while in the bathroom even though I can see. It just seems to cause vanity. As for your son, I wish you the best. I had a type 1 roommate in college, and he had some 'interesting' episodes that caused me great concern (i.e. failing to maintain awareness of his glucose levels). Keeping active skiing, hiking, and fishing seemed to help him a bunch.
