My Comeback Story: Frances R.

By the summer of 2024, my left knee had so seriously deteriorated that I could not walk on a beach. This was heartbreaking for me because I love the beach - at the lake or the ocean. My surgery was on October 1, 2024. After the surgery and follow up by Dr. Harbin, Hope DeRosa and his team, along with fabulous PT from Britney and Hanna at Thomas Nicolla, I am back in action.

Here is a picture of my husband and me taken by our daughter on a Lake Michigan beach this past summer. It was great to be able to walk on the sand without pain or discomfort! I'm walking, hiking, using the many stairs in my house, and more thanks to my procedure. I could not be happier and am so grateful to be active once again!
