Category: Sue’s New Page

Sue wrote this on Friday and she was a little, well, she calls it ‘slap happy’. ::grin:: The serious content of the page is about Medicare which is the US federal government’s insurance for people over 65 and others.  There are many options to check out so she’s singing Smokey Robinson’s lyrics…

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.

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

Lin/Linda here: Call Ghostbusters!  I have gremlins in the website!  There were some ‘broken links’ in several recent emails.  All I can say is that this happened at the same time our website was moved from one computer (called a server) to another. Shouldn’t have happened but it did so we go on.

If you get the “oops, can’t find the page”, it’s OK to tell me either by leaving a comment or emailing me.  I test every post before it goes out but I think the problem occurred after that.

We continue to share quotes from Sue’s journal pages in anticipation of our 2nd anniversary on February 25th.  We hope this will encourage you to explore our ever-growing website that has over 500 journal pages and over 600 posts!

Here are the links and dates for the most recent 3 pages.  They do link from one to the next but you may have already looked one.

Sue’s Best Pages: Part 1

February 25th is the 2 year anniversary of our website.  During these 2 years, Sue has written over 500 journal pages and there have been over 600 posts!  We have been busy, haven’t we? ::smile::

With all that content, we know it is hard to know where to start if you’ve not been following from the beginning.  In honor of our anniversary, from now until February 25th, I am going though the journal pages and highlighting some of Sue’s words to help you find pages that may be helpful to you.  There may not be a post in this series each day.

Skiing is something that Sue loves to do.  It, however, evokes one day on the slopes 2 years ago that she associates with vision loss.  That hasn’t stopped her, she went 3 times last year and hopes to do the same this year.  It may not work out well but at least she’ll be able to say she tried.  And she advises caregivers/family/loved ones to…
