Unfortunately, there are people who prey on those with disabilities.  Sue’s not worried now but things could change if her vision worsens.   There are techniques you can learn to protect yourself including something called Cane-Fu (designed for seniors who use canes for walking but a white cane would work, too).  Are you ready to try some…

Both of our fathers had AMD at a time when there was nothing on the horizon in terms of help for them.   We each had a parent who had a form of dementia (my mother and her father) and we know what happens when one’s brain is diseased – it is terrifying.  There are people around us who are in pain and have life-threatening illnesses.  Taking all that into account and knowing that she’s otherwise healthy, Sue says she is lucky because she has…

Hope

Occasionally we get people who tell us that they have cured themselves of macular degeneration.  In this case we had someone who said he’d improved his vision & wet AMD significantly through nutrition (food & supplements).  While we hope it is true for him, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for everyone.  Sue gives us her thoughts about this.

What a year! Since Sue and I recently wrote about the 1st year anniversary of coming up with the idea for the website, we thought it was time to hear from someone who has supported our efforts.  Here’s a page from our very first website subscriber Sharon Hynes. She’s also active in the Facebook group (it was started in May).

Happy 1st Birthday, Website!

Sue’s talked about her love for Amazon in the past.  She’s gotten a lot of what she needs online but how accessible is their website?  How is their customer support? This is about her experience

Sue has written about meditation and prayer as activities that help a person physically and mentally. What happens when a person prays for someone else?

Power of Prayer

I’m one of a group of people who worry about Sue (she sometimes calls it ‘nagging’ even though it is not, of course ::grin::).  One of her friends told her to look into the research with statins.  She did and she shares what she found.  That brought her to the subject of fat as in bacon and butter, 2 things I doubt she’d ever give up! She’s concluded that everything she love is either…

Illegal, Immoral or Fattening

How much did you know about AMD when you first got your diagnosis?  How much have you learned since then?  Guess what…the learning doesn’t end.  There will be lots more of these…

Four Letter Words

One of Sue’s challenges is with the only transportation company available to her.  Specifically, she’s never been a morning person but she’s had to try to change that to fit their schedule. Maybe someday she will look forward to the…
