Many of you were told very little about the disease process of AMD when you were diagnosed. And it is likely you were not told how to live with the visual impairment you had then or will develop in the future. Sue writes that it makes her furious! On the other hand, she writes about how proud she is because every day we are educating people about all aspects of AMD.
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.
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 500 of them, here’s our suggestion of where to start.
