"I am 74 and for a while there I was feeling like I was 94," Friesen said. "It was getting hard to even walk. I knew I had to do something or I was going to end up in a wheelchair." Getting groceries, going to meet friends in the park or just going for a walk with her husband were just distant memories until recently. "Now we go for walks every night if the weather is decent, I went to a book club meeting in Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park and was able to walk to a sunny spot carrying my lawn chair," Friesen said. "I tell you three months ago I would not have been able to do that. I can move and go grocery shopping and do all those things again."
