"I just couldn’t get enough vigorous exercise, and with quarantine came banana breads and the inevitable extra pounds.I must add I felt overwhelmed by the number of injuries I was dealing with (I’ve been very adventurous! Ouch!) but I realized I just needed to start with one thing and keep moving forward…" she sagely shared.

"So I took action, fixed my hip, got the total replacement, and I am overjoyed to be able to move my body again.

"I am getting stronger every day, and I like to  think I’m ready for anything...a hike, swim dive, paddle, ride, ski, and even a big piece of birthday cake! Hey I can work it off!" Christie concluded.
