In addition, she shares the early warning signs she experienced in her late forties that her hips were deteriorating and the type of pain and leg weakness she endured in her early fifties that finally convinced her that it was time to seek medical help. Darla tells of her first doctor appointment and the devastating news that she’d never be able to do competitive dance again. Faced with surgery and uncertainty, she could have given up, but instead Darla chose to fight for her passion, her hip, and her championship title.
