Shelley
Age 60
“ I was canoeing and I couldn’t walk…I cried a lot…scared to move…lot of fear and depression. One of the first things that helped was finding a really good doctor…having that helped the whole issue of fear and made me feel like I could trust again. ”

Phyllis
Age 84
“ I am a little slower but that comes with age anyway. I had back aches but I always had them….I had mixed emotions because I didn’t know anything about it…I didn’t think I had to do anything and didn’t think it would get worse. ”

“ I felt that it comes with growing older…I couldn’t move and was in so much pain…It felt like I was old and no one cared…
