bigbuckfever Report post Posted February 21, 2022 My father has been dealing with macular degeneration for over 6 years and has started getting much worse to the point he is just about blind now at 89. He has been feeling run down and dizzy for a few months and just found out that is due to leukemia. We don't know if it's going to be manageable or not yet. He has always been a hard charging Marine and it is taking its' toll on his spirits so I sure would appreciate any support. Thanks, Doug. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
