Old School Vision Update

Old School, any updates on your own vision situation?

Bruce, it's been a long slog for me this past year. I have had six eye surgeries. My vision is much better now. I started out the year being blind in one eye. Now I have 20/60 in that eye. I am waiting a little bit to see if it will get any better. If not, I will start the waiver process and see where it leads. I have been waiting on the FMCSA to finalize their changes to the vision standard. They are working on changing it so that it is a similar situation to how they handle drivers with diabetes. You will be allowed to drive OTR with limited vision in one eye as long as you can meet some other specific requirements which we are still waiting on. Drivers under this new program will be given one year medical cards and re-evaluated each year.

Thanks for asking. I am so ready to get back on the road.

Well, it sounds like there is progress. I read your reply to Wylie, but didn't want to hijack his thread. Keep us posted with any new developments! I know everybody on TT is pulling for you,

Haven’t heard from OS lately. How are you doing, OS?

Hope your doing well Old School. I didn't know you had vision troubles. Hopefully you will be back on the road soon

I'm still working on getting back on the road. I have a lot of paperwork requirements that I am working through with the state and my physicians. I will let you guys know when I can get back to work.

I've got so many things going on besides this that I am taking my time about getting back to work. I appreciate everyone's concerns and I will update you when I know something for sure. I am finalizing the details of a book I'm working on and I'd like to get that behind me before I get rolling again.

I apologize about my absence here in the forum, I have just been kind of swamped with other things going on. I've been doing a little traveling to see my daughters and I am also looking forward to two new grandchildren arriving soon, bringing the current total to seven.

We just MISS you (your wit & wisdom, too!) is all !!!

Well CONGRATS on the book & the g'Babies, too ~ good sir. I want one of the first published, AND signed. (Yes, I'll pay extra!) Just dunno if I can make it to TX for a book signing event, though. :(

Know that you are cared about here, O/S!!

OS, any progress with the vision issue?

Thanks Bruce. There are some new developments, but they are super secret right now.

I will update when I can.

Ok, now both you and Big Scott are shrouded in mystery. Lol
