I’m truly thankful I never knew this and I am so thankful my parents didn’t, especially my dad. If he had treated me like a porcelain princess, I wouldn’t be who I am and I never would have lived the athletic/adventurous life I have. I am grateful for 50 good years on these hips. Not that I haven’t had issues for the last 9 years, but it was never bad enough to stop me until recently. Certainly, I’ve shifted and slowed down, gentled my life. But that was something I wanted to do anyway.
