The great story about our mother rapping about Martin Luther for her assignment in history class reminded us of another fabulous story about our cool mama! A few short years ago, when she was close to 80 years old, Mom ordered some work-out DVDs -- Hip Hop Abs with Shaun T!!! She had a blast! In fact, she worked so hard and had so much fun that she didn't notice she had overdone it and had torn her rotator cuffs! Imagine the looks on the hospital staff when this little granny told them how she had injured herself. Hip Hop Abs???!!! The doctor told Mom she needed to have surgery right away. Our hip-hoppin' mama was too tough for that. She insisted that she could get better without surgery, and she worked very hard through months of painful physical therapy and disciplined exercise, and she did get completely better without surgery! :)
