The hip, which had been replaced several years earlier, was removed in 2022 after Minnick fell along a path at her condominium complex. She fractured her right hip and developed an infection that sent her to surgery 10 times and to acute rehabilitation facilities multiple times. For nearly a year, her movements were limited to going from a bed to a wheelchair and vice-versa. Now, she still needs a walker to get around. For a senior who led an active life before the fall, Minnick said her limited mobility can sometimes be depressing. But a bright spot appeared in late August. A [Richland County jury](https://www.sccourts.org/courts/courthouse-search/richland/) awarded the 85-year-old woman $2,550,000 after finding her condominium association liable for her injuries.
