Spoiler Alert – why should you read Sue’s Journal Pages?

After a year of learning how to deal with her visual impairment both physically and emotionally, Sue has a rather ‘normal for her’ life: At age 64 and with advanced AMD geographic atrophy, she works several jobs, attends regular exercise classes, rides her bike safely, travels, walks her dog, kayaks, attends social events with her friends.   We are not suggesting that reading her journal will ensure you the same results but we hope that Sue’s Journal of Her Journey will be educational and inspirational.

We’ve compiled the first part of a series of Sue’s Best Pages.  If you don’t think you are ready to tackle all 500 of them, here’s our suggestion of where to start.

I asked Sue to check out the new version of Microsoft’s Seeing AI.  In this first page of the series, she tries the light perception and color identification options.  Since she also has KNFB Reader, she compared Seeing AI’s short text option to a similar feature of KNFB Reader.

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

I’m sharing 2 of Sue’s pages from last year about the holiday season.  They are not happy times for everyone but they do give us reason for HOPE!

Holiday Blues

The Season of Hope

Hard to keep track).  There have been many delays.  There may now be actual progress and she’s wonder if being Super Lab Rat will finally be…
