Patient Results
I got my life back!
“I had a Total Knee Replacement in mid July and my recovery was less than stellar. There was a pinched nerve, an allergic reaction to one of the medications I was taking, and then major digestive issues, which caused me to lose 15 pounds in less than two weeks. I did not handle these issues very well. I arrived at Ramsey Rehab about six weeks after surgery a little depressed. But they would have none of it. They pushed me to my limit each time I showed up, all the while encouraging me in my progress, even when there was very little progress to be seen from session to session. It took
me a while to catch on (it seems I was a very slow learner where my recovery was concerned) but once I finally learned to communicate accurately what was actually going on with my knee, and also my whole body, my progress picked up speed. While I am still not where I think I should be (the surgeon keeps telling me to give it a year!) I have come a long way since my first days at Ramsey, and can now at least begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will forever be grateful to Jaylin, Tina, and Jon for giving me back my life. Thank you!” Pat B.
