Anita Quinn has fitness goals, but you won’t find her shrieking about them on any infomercial. If she’s fortunate enough to see a grandchild or two come down the pike, Quinn just wants to be strong enough to hold on tight.

Watching her move intently within Harrison Hospital’s state-of-the-art rehabilitation pool, Quinn wouldn’t seem anything other than bright, vibrant and in the very pink of health. But following more than 20 years of work in mail service, the Bremerton resident suffers from major shoulder problems. As a result, Quinn has had two rotator-cuff surgeries. Complicating her recovery from the operations was not a lack of resolve, but outright pain. Physical therapy hurt.
