ONE SOLUTION FOR THE VISION IMPAIRED
While attending the Patriotic Heart class, I was introduced to Susan Johnson. Susan rides in an electric wheelchair and has Macular Dystrophy. It is similar to Macular Degeneration in that the central vision is lost. Susan is able to needlepoint by using a Long Arm Acrobat. She said the most difficult adjustment was learning to look up while stitching. Susan carries a monitor with her. She says that the newer versions can be connected to a computer. Susan is a fabulous example of a courageous woman who "made lemonade".

Please pass on my best wishes to Susan and say "Go you, lady!"
ReplyDelete~~~ another disabled person who embroiders in spite of it, tho not as badly off as Susan.
Good for her!! As one who has lost central vision to in one eye, and now blind in that eye, and the time it took to continue to adjust my good eye to the strain of stitching, thank goodness for mag glasses. So blessings to her!
