In February 2016, I published Sue’s first journal page (if you don’t know who Sue is – where have you been?! ::smile:: – check out ‘Spoiler Alert’ below). It wasn’t the beginning of her journey with age-related macular degeneration, but it was the beginning of what has become 600+ pages of the journal that she’s shared with us. It’s a journal that has educated and inspired many readers
I’ll be re-publishing her early pages because they are as important to readers now as they were when she began I encourage those of you who have not taken the time to read her first page to do so now.
Fast forward to the present. I’ve asked Sue to share her thoughts about “In The Beginning” to give readers an idea of how her life is years later. I hope it will encourage you to read these early pages to learn how she managed through the twists and turns of her journey to live what is now her “new normal.”
Spoiler Alert – why should you read Sue’s Journal Pages?
After a year of learning how to deal with her visual impairment both physically and emotionally, Sue has a rather ‘normal for her’ life: At age 64 and with advanced AMD geographic atrophy, she works several jobs, attends regular exercise classes, rides her bike safely, travels, walks her dog, kayaks, attends social events with her friends. We are not suggesting that reading her journal will ensure you the same results but we hope that Sue’s Journal of Her Journey will be educational and inspirational.
