Why would there be "no Stevie Nicks?" Peolple have hips replaced all the time, it's not like they're not bedridden afterwards.

She is plagued by sinus and upper respiratory symptoms which at times affect her equalibrium. Both of her parents had open heart surgery and heart disease runs in her family, so it's reasonable to assume that Stevie has some form of this. Beta blockers cause swelling of the hands and feet. She pushes through her ailments to give the people what they pay for. Class act in my book.

The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be*

Agreed. Wear a flat but stylish boot. ****, put on ballerina-style flats for all I care. She can be comfortable & safe but still cute.

I don't know. I truly don't. But I do care. I can't describe the thrill I felt when I heard she was wearing burgundy opening night. I'm so not kidding either.
