Lisa Curry is ‘learning how to walk again’ as she gives update after hip surgery following freak accident
Lisa Curry has updated fans on her progress after undergoing hip surgery following a freak accident in Yukon, Canada.
The Olympian, 61, was injured during a husky dog sledding trip last January. She slipped on the ice, causing her to fall and break her hip.
Lisa said she is “learning to walk again” and “doing simple tasks” as she recovers from the surgery.
“It’s getting better every day and I can now exercise and swim again, so I’m happy about that,” she said.
‘I am learning to walk with a limp again and can perform simple tasks again.’

Last week, Lisa explained that the incident happened while she was on holiday in January.
“The huskies went across the ice with no problem, but the sled kept sliding and sliding,” she said.
She went on to say that the sled dogs will “keep going” if you let go of the ropes.
“You can’t let go of the sled because the dogs keep going,” she said.
“So I held on and held on until I couldn’t hold on anymore and ended up still falling while holding on to the sled which immediately put on the brakes so the dogs stopped… and fell on my hip.”
Lisa added that her hip had been hurting all year, but at first she thought it was muscular.
Only after a CT scan did she see that her hip had a bone fracture in the ball and socket joint.
