Life Unscripted: 5 questions with Jeanne about life with wet AMD
Jeanne shares her view on living with wet AMD.
Transcript
Hi, I'm Jeanne. And I have had wet macular for four years.
I guess I would say it's doable or livable. You can still live your best life with wet macular.
I do. And if I do it, anybody can do it. Family and friends, first of all, they are always there to do whatever I need.
Sometimes I tell them what I need. Sometimes they can tell what I need. I wish somebody would tell me that I was never
going to have to wear makeup a day in my life again. It's hard for me to see. And I could injure my eyes physically so I just forego the makeup.
Lipstick I still do because I'm a Southern woman, and we do not leave home without our lipstick on. I keep a glatitudes and gratitudes journal.
And at the end of every day, just before I go to bed, I list all the magnificent, wonderful, fantastical things
that have graced me during that day. You can still live stories that are worth sharing and saving.
I am a textile assemblages, a textile artist. I'm still living a fun life that I love most every minute of.
And there's no reason other people can't do that too. [GENTLE MUSIC]
