The Magoo license

One of the fascinating things with MS is that it can effect any part of the body at any time. It will be weird or frightening and there is nothing you can do except ride it out and hope for the best. 
The most recent thing among a lot of weirdness (no memory, a sense of living in a bizzare ill bubble all year) is eyesight which is there, but is a little odd. The thing I know for sure is that it makes renewing your driving licence in America, where you have to do an eye test in this mini  military machine thingy at the counter very interesting. 
if you don't renew your licence every 4 years you lose it and have to take the driving test again. After seeing my optometrist and some fancy footwork at the counter I now have the Magoo licence, which is daylight only driving. hopefully my eyes will readjust in the next few months so I can drive in the fthe months of winter darkness. 
I asked the bloke who gave it to me what's daylight driving?
He didn't know so I figure if you drive in the dark and get pulled over just chuck on a pair of sun glasses and claim that you thought it was day. As I say the Mr Magoo licence.....
