It was a dark and stormy night …

Judith Hunt, 80, slipped and fell rushing down a dark hallway. She wound up in the hospital with a broken hip. It was the beginning of a medical odyssey that would include heart surgery, bowel surgery, and a brush with COVID-19.

In this episode, Judith talks about facing death with grit and gallows humor, and the small moments that made her recovery possible.
