"I wouldn't wish so many years on anyone." A 115-year-old Yaroslavl resident only received medical treatment after appealing to the media.
Over the years, Klavdiya Gadyuchkina She had accumulated numerous health complaints, the main ones being high blood pressure, joint pain, and hearing loss. She also had very thin skin that was easily damaged even by washing. In her condition, she couldn't get to the hospital, and specialists refused to make house calls.
My grandmother says she ruined her health at the textile factory where she worked for over half a century, starting at age 15. She celebrated her birthday in November, and by that time, neither her husband nor her sisters were alive. But she has three children, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. She lives with Olga's granddaughtersShe mostly lies down and watches TV, and goes outside in the summer. She says she's had her day a long time ago, and asks God to take her away soon, but periodically jokes:
"I'm out of my mind, so I live. Yes, I'm already 115 years old. I wouldn't wish that many years on anyone." "My name is Klavdiya Mikhailovna, but it's an unpleasant last name, I don't even want to say it."
Olga called a general practitioner to her home regarding her constantly damaged skin. The general practitioner recommended taking her grandmother to a surgeon, but that was unlikely for the centenarian. The doctor then photographed her legs and sent them to a specialist, who made recommendations. But the pensioner had long needed recommendations from other doctors.
After the publication, a whole “delegation” went to see Klavdiya Mikhailovna.
"A specialist team, including a surgeon, neurologist, otolaryngologist, and ophthalmologist, conducted a home visit. The patient was examined and recommendations for further medical care were given. The Central City Hospital administration has taken Klavdiya Mikhailovna Gadyuchkina's medical care under its control." responded in writing to journalists.
Every year people ask grandma about the secret of her longevity.
“I’m a kind person, maybe it’s because of this that I’ve lived so long.”" she replies, wishing everyone success in work and life. She also advises everyone to take care of their health.
