Mary’s journey is one such remarkable tale- a testament to unbreakable spirits and unwavering dedication of healthcare professionals. Join us as we delve into Mary’s extraordinary recovery from a fractured femur, a journey that defied conventional expectations and demonstrated the remarkable resilience of the human body.
Background
In February 2023, Mary Hays arrived at Westmoreland Health and Rehab with a fracture of an unspecified part of her left femur. This type of injury generally entails a lengthy recovery period, often spanning around eight weeks. Mary’s situation was particularly daunting as she required moderate to maximum assistance for nearly every daily task upon admission. Like anyone in her shoes, regaining independence was a paramount goal.
Plan of Care
Mary’s journey toward recovery started with our healthcare professionals conducting a thorough assessment upon arrival. Given the nature of her injury, which demanded careful attention and specialized care, they developed a customized treatment strategy.
With a fractured femur, tasks that were once second nature had become a great challenge. The initial goal was to provide the support and therapies needed to alleviate pain, improve mobility and gradually restore independence.
The plan wasn’t just about physical rehabilitation but also included emotional and psychological well-being. Mary’s determination and our team’s unwavering commitment to her success were integral to this plan of care, setting the stage for a remarkable outcome.
Outcome
Mary’s remarkable journey of recovery at Westmoreland surpassed expectations and serves as a testament to the power of determination, collaboration, and expert care. Within a mere four weeks, Mary achieved what would typically take twice as long. Mary was discharged on March 20th, 2023, making astounding strides toward independence. She returned home requiring only minimal to modified independent assistance, where her grandson provided care when needed. Her determination, coupled with the expertise and dedication of our healthcare team, allowed her to regain her autonomy swiftly and effectively.
Mary’s story serves as a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the face of significant challenges, the human body possesses an incredible capacity for healing. Her rapid recovery from a fractured femur is a testament to the power of resilience and expert medical care.
