DRAW’s Fundraising Chairwoman and National Event Booth manager Rosalee Noble is making rapid progress following her double knee replacement surgery. When asked about her progress, Rosalee gave the following update:

"I have progressed from the walker to a cane, which I only use when I am out of the house. I call it my security blanket. Yesterday at therapy when they measured the bend in my knees, I had 110 degrees in one and 114 in the other. The goal was between 95 and 110 by the 8th week. Yesterday was the 6th week. I surprise my self with some of the things I can do that I have had difficulty in doing for the last several years. I can step up into a van with my left leg. I can climb a few stairs...they have a restriction on that for a while. I have been on the exercise bike at therapy and on the treadmill here at home. Most of my day is still taken up with exercising."
