maybe torrin really did lose his eyesight and it slowly came back. who knows? i'm sure there is much more to the story then we know.
when i had my accident i made a personal injury claim because i was required to submit the paper work quickly. at the time all i knew was that i couldn't walk without crutches and wasn't sure if i would have permanent damage. the insruance company took so long to get to the claim (3 months) that by the time i went to see their doctor (required before processing a claim like this) i was pretty much all healed up. he wrote a letter indicating that i was a perfectly healthy person and with that the insurance denied my claim.
from their point of view it must of looked like i made everything up to get money. even though i just did everything i thought was right. oh well.
