Thanks for the information.
My mother suffers from macular degeneration and it has made life very frustrasting for her. She has always been a strong women (raised 6 kids pretty much alone) and it isn't easy for her to actually need help.
I'm going to bring this info to her next appointment.
My Mother also has MD. She had earned a PHD in math and has written several articles about teaching algebra to children in elementry school. Luckily she was of the older generation that had memorized many poems etc. She can still recite part of Hamlet and Emerson and Frost and passages from the bible.
I on the other hand, can't remember my name unless I write it down. If I couldn't read it, I would be up a creek without a paddle.
