RECOVERING FROM HER FALL HAS BEEN HARDER THAN SHE THOUGHT

DAWN FRASER'S HEALTH UPDATE 'I'M NOT READY TO DIE'

National treasure and Olympic swimming great, Dawn Fraser, admits she's really had to dig deep to regain her fighting spirit following a fall at home that almost claimed her life.

“It’s a fight every day,” Dawn, 87, said last week. Breaking four ribs and shattering her hip in the fall, Dawn confesses the recovery has been the biggest challenge she’s ever had to face – and one she never thought she'd encounter.

“Winning gold medals was much easier. I feel so lucky I survived,” she admitted in an interview with Network 10 newsreader Sharyn Ghidella on May 14.

imageDawn’s only child, daughter Dawn-Lorraine Ware, says she refused to accept the doctor's dire warning that her steely mother may die while under anaesthetic. She defiantly told them to bring Dawn back to life if she died on the operating table.
