Nancy Gretzinger

Nancy retired after 43+ years in education including teaching, administration at the building and district level and teaching at the university level. Her favorite was special needs preschool that helped when she adopted her nearly one-year-old developmentally delayed daughter from China. After retiring, her niche became researching the brain (She had not had one class!). She developed a 100 + slide Happy, Healthy Brain Powerpoint Presentation that launched her two books, with the second having a co-author.

She made an unfortunate decision in December 2009 to have her mild urinary incontinence (hopefully) corrected through mesh surgery. After multiple surgeries, procedures and constant failures, her urethra was closed, a suprapubic tube inserted into her bladder and multiple UTI infections. She is now (early 2017) treating the UTIs with PICC line IV antibiotics. (Another book in the making).

She and here now 20-year-old daughter continue this journey.
