Sue has written about gratitude before. In this page, she’s grateful to Cracker Barrel restaurants because they offer large print and Braille menus. She also writes, “And now for the potentially controversial part of the program. Hear me out before you hang me. Ok? Of everything that could have gone wrong in my life, I am grateful it was age-related macular degeneration. What do you think about that?” Read the page and tell us what YOU think about this. Do you want to hang her? ::smile::
Spoiler Alert – why should you read Sue’s Journal Pages?
After less than a year of learning how to deal with her visual impairment both physically and emotionally, Sue has a ‘normal for her’ life: At age 65 and with advanced dry AMD/geographic atrophy, she works, attends regular exercise classes, rides her bike safely, travels, walks her dogs, 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.
We’ve compiled the first part of a series of Sue’s Best Pages. If you don’t think you are ready to tackle all 600+ of them, here’s our suggestion of where to start.
