Hey! It's Tucker.
I jut thought I'd shed some light on this that I always think everyone notices and I at least thinks makes posting with me a little harder, or makes you have to have more patience.
Anyway, here's the deal. I've been a type 1 diabetic since I was a baby, I wasn't born with it, but I got it before I was two years old. Over my thirty odd years of life, I've lived a full and active existence. In the last three years thoughI've developped complications. As a result I have two major disabilities when posting. First, I've had fingers have to be amputated, I'm down to six between my two hands. So that slows my typing down, though considering that I go pretty fast (50 wpm). But the big thing is that I am legally blind. This means I cnn see but that my vision is indistinct and a bit dimmer than normal. I for example use the Windows Magnifier to increase my screen size by 500%. This means I can't fit both frames of the chat window onscreen at the same time, it alo means that the fine details of avatar are lot on me but Ican still see pretty things and appreciate skilled artwork. Those are the two major things.
More minorly as it applies to chat, I have also lost my left foot and am on dialysis. All of these issues are a part of me, and thay are all being addressed, I'm on the transplant list, I am getting prosthetics (for my leg, not my fingers) and I am getting lots of suport from my family and Family. You all give me the opportunity to not only have a few hours a day of being whole, but more supernatural too. I want to thankyou all for doingwhat you do and accpting me despite my difficulties.
Love,
Tucker AKA Tucker
