Last year, Oprah Winfrey had “double knee surgery.”
Despite having two procedures last year, the 68-year-old TV actress is now determined to lead as active a life as she can.
She admitted: “Last year, I had both knees operated on. After having knee surgery in August, I had another procedure in November.
“The first time I returned home, I could not raise my leg. I swore I would benefit from movement, exercise, and being able to be completely in my body if I was ever able to get up, walk about, and move again. But I couldn’t get my heel off the bed.
Winfrey also said that while recuperating from surgery, she discovered a love for hiking.
And the TV superstar, who runs her own production business, has a new perspective on her physique.
She was quoted as saying: “As I was recovering, I began trekking. “Oprah Winfrey is most known for anchoring her renowned TV talk program, “The Oprah Winfrey Show. I made an effort to hike further and accomplish more each day.
“My respect for every limb and organ has increased immensely.”
Meanwhile, Winfrey would be a great addition to Ricki Lake’s new podcast series, which she co-stars on television.
The 54-year-old actress is the star of the new “Raised by Ricki” series, and she acknowledged that Winfrey would be one of her ideal guests.
I’m not holding my breath, said Lake, who from 1993 to 2004 held her own talk program. But she’d be fantastic.
“After all, why not? We’re going to ask, I believe.
