Getting to 89 for me has probably got something to do with genes. But I admit to taking care of myself. When going through menopause years ago I was told by a doctor that small boned women from Eastern European countries (I am a Polish peasant from Buffalo) were prone to get osteoporosis. I therefore began pumping iron and working out, which I have been doing for the last 35 years.

Bradycardia only arrived four years ago. I guess I’m lucky.
