About the Author

Cheryl Glaiser was the recipient of a total hip replacement by the time she was twenty-three years old. In 1985, only about ten thousand hip replacements were performed each year, and very few on people her age. These days, half a million hip replacements are performed each year in the U.S. alone. The kind, loving care she received from healthcare professionals during multiple surgeries on her hip led her to seek a B.S. in Health and Safety and pursue an enduring career as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. The author loves to help people, thrived as a stay-at-home mom of two girls, and found her happily-ever-after with her husband of many years. When she isn't spending time with family, she volunteers with various organizations. She believes that we each have a guardian angel guiding us, and that we must endeavor to live consciously, using but never abusing our words, our bodies, our families and our faith.
