I’ve been trying to publish one of Sue’s pages every other day. This time, it’s been more than that and I am sorry. It is certainly not for LACK of pages because Sue keeps writing and writing and writing! The woman is wearing me out! Just kidding about that last part but she IS doing a lot of writing which is GREAT! My husband and I are having much-need and much-delayed things done around the house and it is taking more of my time than anticipated. Hopefully, we’ll be done soon.
Sue doesn’t always notice that there are comments posted on pages but I do share each and every one of them with her (I actually have to approve comments before I post them). This is her response.

One of the risks those with impaired vision face is that of falls. AMD affects depth perception, balance, peripheral vision and the ability to see contrast and color. Sue tells us how yoga can help improve your balance and reduce the risk of falls.

It’s no secret at this point that Sue is a social creature. She has many friends, several places where she works and two or three exercise classes that she attends each week. These are her priorities and sometimes she has to go to people with demands to help fulfill them. How does she keep from this becoming a problem?

Dealing with vision loss is exhausting. There is much more planning that needs to be done, for one thing. Sue shares one example of this.

There are some days when our minds are focused on the many concerns we have. Sue’s advice is to find something positive to distract you.

If you are having or had problems with this post, I’m blaming it on ‘technical difficulties’. Sometimes that means that I did something wrong and I’m just trying to cover it up. I’ll admit it, I made a mistake which I hope is now fixed or at least it should be!
One of the challenges that Sue has had, and most of you have had, is that there is a lot of planning ahead involved in maintaining a ‘normal’ life. A lot of the things she used to do just don’t work anymore. She can’t just jump into the car and go to Wendy’s for lunch if there’s nothing much to eat in the house.

You’ve heard the expression “It takes a village.” For Sue to continue with the activities of her life – to work in several different locations and to attend her exercise classes – that is certainly true. Luckily, she has one!
