This is just a quick September newsletter.

 

In a previous newsletter entitled Hiking!, Caitlin Peerson told her story of recovering from knee and ankle pain in order to return to high-end hiking. More recently, she updated us with a short message and some great photos from her most recent adventure:

“Wanted to let you know I finished a three week hike along the John Muir trail (a serious hike with significant elevation gain) and both my knee and ankle were strong and healthy! I felt stellar. Summitted Mt Whitney on Monday morning at 7am (following a 3:30 am departure, oy!) Thanks again for all your help along the way. I feel so lucky to have come across your work. My fellow hikers were so impressed with my PRP story.”

When mentioning these PRP Stem Cell procedures to friends or family, focus their attention not on calling us but on reading very, very thoroughly at NMPM.com.

Here are some of my photographs of the flowers of September. This year these bitter smelling yellow flowers really dominated Santa Fe. Here they are framing a recent sunrise:

This year there are fewer of the purple flowers called asters:

Peaking right now are our musky smelling chamisa:

Have a great Autumn! And, if you can, walk around – hike even higher!
