I learned to always keep myself active-exercised-I used to jog a lot so when I couldn't run I walked when I couldn't walk so long I now use a treadmill. I rode bike a lot and when I could no longer ride bike I now ride a stationary bike. In other words when I lost something I just did it differently. I got to know what my body could and could not do. Try and make your body go as far as you can, take yoga classes helps with balance. I lift weights to keep my upper body strong. There have been times when I was stiffer than a board and by just keeping up movement it got better. Note do not overdo yourself just learn what your body can do and fight if your body rebels. The biggest thing for me was attitude-positive-I know there are a lot of things that I cannot do but oh there still are a lot of things I can still do (albeit kinda gimpy and odd. Hope it helps sorry for the sermon boomer lady
