You are so tired and your leg is throbbing and all you want to do is sleep. Hopefully, you take your pain medicine and you get in your comfy spot. Next thing you know, you wake up, angrily, 47 mins after you fall asleep. In frustration of not being able to get comfortable, you resign yourself to being awake all night surfing the inter webs. Sound familiar?

Meet Suzie Andrade

I was 41 when I was told I needed a knee replacement and that my other knee would likely follow.

I stopped playing softball.
I stopped walking just to walk.
I stopped using stairs and curbs (yes, even curbs!).
I stopped parking far from the store just to get in extra steps.

One day, I was on the beach, walking through sand and cursing every painful step. I wanted to walk to the water, but it was too far. That day I drew the proverbial line in the sand and decided enough was enough.

I had my left knee replaced at 45, my right hip at 46, and my right knee at 48.

I had no idea that in that pain I would find my purpose. Each of those surgeries taught me something deeper about resilience, strength and courage—and how faithfilled we really are when we keep moving forward.

But I also learned something else: there are huge gaps in the knee replacement adventure. There are things your doctor or physical therapist don’t tell you—because they’ve never lived it. I have. And I know what it takes to build resilience, find courage, and walk faithfilled through the hardest moments.

That’s why I created the Yetter Getter Mindset and why I show up every day as your Holistic Knee Replacement Coach. You don’t have to walk this road alone any longer.
