What would you do if a friend, family member or co-worker told you that they have had an eye bleed for the past 3 days?  What would you do if they refused your advice?  Sue writes…

I Tried My Best

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.

Sorry, just found that the link below wasn’t working yesterday.

Sue writes “If 2016 was the year of change and challenge and adaptation, 2017 has become the year of The New Normal.” What does that mean?

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

As we continue with the ‘Winter is Coming’ series, Sue writes about her experience of getting out in a March blizzard in Pennsylvania.  Many people are afraid of doing that because of fear which is something that can be overcome; she shares some ways to work on it.  She says it’s not a big deal but it sounds impressive that…

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

If you have read the books or are watching the TV series Game of Thrones, you know the phrase ‘Winter is Coming’.  I’m ‘borrowing’ the phrase for some pages that Sue wrote in March of this year but I didn’t publish them then (long story).  For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it is indeed true that Winter is Coming.

There are well-meaning people who offer suggestions that they think will solve our problems.  One of Sue’s friends told her that there were glasses out there that would enable her to drive again.  Not true, unfortunately.  So what about these…

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

It’s been almost 2-1/2 years since the vision in Sue’s first eye started to decline.  She has discussed her AMD with family members several times since then and yet, at a recent family gathering, she got the “you don’t look/act blind”.  She wonders how many more times she has to subject her nephews to the…

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

I asked Sue to try the free Apple app Seeing AI which caused quite a bit of excitement when it was released.  It uses the phone’s camera to allow you to identify the world around you, including identifying products, currency and people plus providing text-to-speech capabilities.  She found its scene identification feature (still being tested by the developers) to be good  but not always – it told her that her husband’s shoes were…
