GRETILLAT WORKED IN FOOD SERVICE AT A NURSING HOME. HER
Gretillat worked in food service at a nursing home. Her duties stated that she would, at times, have to cover every aspect of operations. At times she might have to stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl as part of needed physical movements. After 10 years, she began to suffer pain from osteoarthritis in her right knee, which made it hard to walk much. Her supervisor told her she would no longer have to make rounds at the home to reduce her walking. Three years later she had knee replacement surgery.
