My Macular Degeneration Journey/Journal

From Diagnosis to Decision – June 2023 Since Sue has not written any new journal pages for some time, the site has been archived until we can decide if the work necessary to make sure all information is accurate and up-to-date can be made. In the meantime, you'll get some pages 'not found' or 'private' until that decision has been made. The emphasis for several years has been on the Facebook group.

You know by know that one of the things that Sue loves to do is dance!  It’s part of her coping strategies.

Bonus from Lin/Linda:

Click here for a video that’s been going around that’s a ‘mash-up’ of old movie dance clips to a modern song.  Enjoy!

Not sure how I did this but I neglected to send out a post about Sue’s new page for 6/13.   Maybe it was because I’ve been ‘busy, busy, busy’, too! 😉

This is the second in the Lifestyle series.  Some of us don’t have members of a biological family to help us for whatever reason, but we can certainly add members to our family of choice.

June 2023 Site archived for maintenance

The main purpose of this site was for Sue to share her articles. She hasn’t been writing much for the site for years. The main focus since then has been on the Facebook group.

You’ll find pages ‘not found’ or made ‘private’ so that they can be reviewed and updated, if necessary. Some of the pages are too outdated to be accurate and helpful. We haven’t decided if we’ll continue to maintain the site or not. When that decision has been made, I’ll share that here.
