“I had a series of injuries which resulted in many surgeries and recoveries over 7 years during my 20s. I define myself by my body. I AM flexible. I AM fit. I AM strong. I AM an athlete. My jobs were physical jobs and if was not able to move my body optimally I was not all the things I told myself I was. If I was not a skier, or a runner, or a hiker, or strong, or fit, who was I than.”
