Category: Sue’s New Page

Sue hadn’t written for a few days which got her thinking about how living with a chronic illness like AMD often has a period of high anxiety and frantic activity followed by a period of relative stability.  Not that her eyes have gotten any better, she’s just called…

A Truce

You know Sue likes quotes and there are quite a few of them in this page about…

The Meaning of Life

When Sue has down time, she likes to DO something.  In this case, she’s been playing the video game Panda Pop.  It’s no surprise (to me) that she’s found life lessons in…

The Games People Play

Sue’s talked about how her transportation issues have her off her preferred schedule (ie, she’s not a morning person) and has her sleep cycle out of whack.  How does sleep affect the brain? For that, we get a…

Latin Lesson

Sue’s been working through Prevent Blindness’ great webpage called Guide Me (if you haven’t gone there yet, I highly recommend it.  There’s a link in this page).  She’s trying to figure out what a hyperacuity chart is and where she can get one (I’m still looking, too).

This page is from last October! How did we get so far behind? Sue was afraid she’d run out of things to write about so we didn’t publish pages daily for a time.  Has that happened? Nooo, it has not! ::grin::  In this one, Sue writes inspiring words about why it’s good to talk about our vision.

My Soapbox

Sue’s been working through the information in Prevent Blindness’ Guide Me resource.   There’s lots of information in the personalized guide including some statistics, eg, 50% of the people with dry AMD die before experiencing significant vision loss.  We know that is not always the case but…

Sometimes It Happens

After a short rant about the lack of AMD education, Sue talks about some of the symptoms of visual problems including ‘perceived flashes of light’ that some people who have them call…

Zigzags

We’ve had a salmagundi and a mess of topics, now we have another title for a collection.  In this case, Sue writes more about her interactions with Amazon and about the Guide Me page from the Prevent Blindness organization.
