Manage episode 433942694 series 3589562
A hug, a sneeze, or a stumble: imagine if any of these might cause a break in your bones. This is the reality for Loretta Smith. Loretta was born with Osteogenisis Imperfecta, most commonly known as brittle bone disease.
Despite enduring multiple fractures, extreme pain and endless operations Loretta is a force, living well beyond the prognosis of her childhood. She has written about this in Corpus In Extremis, a memoir.
