Nima is on her own learning curve in how to advocate for herself. She is also adjusting to a dramatic change in how she must approach her physical life with her 'invisible disability.'
Here is a website if you, too, have an invisible disability: http://invisibledisabilities.org
For the time being, Nima is learning to slow down from a busy life and medical practice. Here is an example of her still being involved, a photograph by Nima. Enjoy this beautiful sunset on the Passamaquoddy Bay and remember that each sunset brings forth a new day.
