It was definitely a tough couple of days post surgery and I tried to end the meds too early but things healed exceptionally well. I did this surgery to continue … Read the rest

20 years ago this week, I received my pair of Chromium Cobalt BHR metal hip implants from Dr. Koen de Smet in Ghent, Belgium.
I am so lucky, confident and inspired about my hips that I trained at Ten Kicks gym this week where my daughter fights and coaches…and celebrated my hips with 10 kicks on the heavy bag.
I won’t continue kicking the bag…I want the hips to last at least another 40 years … Read the rest
