The Graced Health podcast is for women who want simple ways to take care of themselves and age their bodies well. And of course, we enjoy a little chocolate in the process.

Injured? Or been injured?

Try as we may to prevent it, injury happens. Sometimes it’s preventable (like those caused by overuse and/or not enough rest). And sometimes we step off the back of a U-Haul and BAM (or more precisely, SNAP) your MCL is torn.

Today’s episode is a two-part interview with my friend, Cheri Fletcher. Our first discussion centers around her preparing for MCL surgery. She shares her concerns, her plans for her downtime (because she’s a driver like me and never stops moving), and the irony of what she feels God is teacher her through this.

Then I catch up with her again about 10 days post surgery to see how she’s recovering, feeling (mentally and physically) and if she indeed was able to BE STILL.

We discuss:

• Her love of movement and relationships made and fostered on the sidewalks.
• How exactly she found herself injured
• The surprising directive her physical therapist gave her post-injury
• The head space we can so easily land in
• How our identity plays into our movement
• Intentionality of the down time
• Her no-excuses attitude
• Permission to BE STILL (and if she followed God’s prompting in that)
• How recovery is going
