Alden Glickman was enjoying his retirement when he started losing his balance.
He was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, or NPH, a condition with a surgical fix.
Typical treatment involves neurosurgeons implanting a shunt.
The shunt keeps fluid away from the brain.

Alden Glickman says, "I just feel good that instead of using a cane or a walker or a wheelchair, I don't have to use any of that. I can just have my normal life."
