People are surprised when I tell them that Sue still rides her bike even though she has advanced dry AMD (geographic atrophy) in both eyes and is legally blind. Being legally blind means a person’s visual acuity is below a certain level. To help you understand how she does what she does, we have to ask…
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.
