Similar problem different outcome. My Son was living with me met a girl who was pregnant married her got his GED oh he was brilliant. Would skip school and ace all the tests with out studying. Anyway he joined the Army after trading cars with me mine paid for he said he would make the payment on the truck I bought for him which of course he didn't . Oh he did use and sell drugs for a short time til the Army. Left for training as a special Ranger And 82nd Airbourne. Did not hear from him for over a year. One day his wife called me and said I think you should know you Son just parachuetted into Pananama. Well he was okay we all got back together at FtBragg. Then Desert Storm he was the first to be sent there wife pregnant with his Son. In March 2 days after the war ended he was with his commanding officer in the humvee and his best friend was souvenir hunting. Got back to camp in Iraq friend hands him what looks like a brown paper bag. Boom off go two fingers as few seconds later Boom again eyesight blown out. He's now officially Blind. Love Phillipa ps no more drugs and went to university on the Army LSW was all they would let him study grauduated summa cum Laude. Now on l00% diability and the government won't make it possible for him to work. They say he has to have a driver's licence. Blind?
