Fear Of Water Gone, Luretta Walks Mile/Day In "River"
Luretta Satterlee, 75, of Coffeen, our March Member of the Month, can be found walking in the pool's "lazy river" five mornings a week. She rises at 6 a.m., arrives at Fusion by 7:45 and walks with the river current for 58 laps (one mile).
Luretta started this regimen three years ago after her second knee replacement surgery. What's most impressive is that initially, she was terrified of the water because of a near-drowning incident as a child.
"I told Cody, the lifeguard at the time, that I was afraid of the water, so he took me into the pool and walked with me for the first five days," Luretta says. "I was holding on so tight I know I must have left bruises on his arm!"
The aquatics therapy definitely sped recovery from her knee surgery, and now she says that starting the day at Fusion "helps give me a positive attitude."
