lifestyle

As a practicing neurologist for many decades, I closely observed each patient, searching for signs of improvement or recovery. Each step in the healing process required time and effort, which could become exhausting, and I have always balanced hope and anxiety anticipating recovery for my patients. But successful outcomes were deeply rewarding. Now that I am 98, the tables are turned, and my daily challenge is to diagnose and treat myself, closely monitoring my own state of mind and the condition of my aging body. As I advised so many patients to do over my career, I adjust my diet, exercise habits, and outlook to sustain my health and my mood.
