Part 3: The highest-rated pages
I hope you’ve seen the box at the bottom of all our pages where you can rate Sue’s pages. It’s been helping us to see what resonates with you. It also helps us find pages that we can recommend to others.
If you haven’t been rating the pages, we really wish you would! ::smile::
- One Foot in Front of the Other
- Sue writes, “Accept this is happening, Recognize you are not powerless, we all have choices we can make. Understand if we take care of each moment as it comes, the future will take care of itself. Don’t get ahead of yourself. We don’t need to be hopeful or optimistic all of the time (even though there is reason for hope). If you cannot muster any faith in your future, just put one foot in front of the other and move. You will be surprised where you end up.”
- Hindsight is 20/20
- She writes, “First, you are not going everything black and dark blind. You may not be doomed to progress to end-stage AMD. You did not cause this. There may come a time you are seeing things. There is an amazing amount of hope for treatment and eventually a cure for AMD.”
- Sight Loss as a Challenge
- She writes, “Accepting you are losing your sight will free you from hopelessness. It will free the energy you are using on worrying and fretting and allow you to use that energy to find ways to enrich your lives.”
- Not As Cut and Dried
- Sue writes, “The takeaway message I got from the driving presentation was this: just as each of us is multifaceted, the decision whether or not to drive should also be multifaceted. How is your contrast sensitivity? How much glare can you handle? How fast is your eye-foot reaction time? How confusing and busy are the places you want to drive? All these and more have to be considered.”
- Overcoming Uncertainty
- Sue writes, “Remember this journey is not a sprint, it is a marathon. In fact, it is a marathon that we don’t even know the course. Keep an open mind and don’t latch onto anything out of fear. Eventually, we will find the way.”
- Special Favors
- Sue writes, “‘Tis a dilemma, so I am throwing it out for discussion. What is too big of a favor? When should you not ask? When should you refuse an offer? What are the rules on this????????”
- Good Thought, Bad Thought
- Sue writes, “Good thought and bad thought. Or actually bad thought and good thought. Bad thought that I may have reached this level so quickly. Good thought: could the slide be over? Will I soon stop losing vision?”
