Jessie Graff sat in her doctor's office late last fall, preparing for stem cell injections that would repair the bulging discs in her neck, the five tears in her right shoulder, the one tear in her left shoulder and the tendinitis and chronic sprains in both elbows.
Such wear and tear can understandably result from 13 years of jumping from bridges into moving trains, diving out of exploding buildings and catapulting through crashing windows as a professional stuntwoman in Hollywood.
Oh, and that's after Graff spent three years pole vaulting on the Nebraska track and field team.
