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From Diagnosis to Decision – June 2023 Since Sue has not written any new journal pages for some time, the site has been archived until we can decide if the work necessary to make sure all information is accurate and up-to-date can be made.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.

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 Some of the pages are too outdated to be accurate and helpful.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.
