| Patient Letter: "Grateful for help after stroke" |
On Sept. 13, 2009, our family vacation detoured and was spent at Atlantic General Hospital in Ocean City, MD. Dean, my husband, suffered a stroke the first night of vacation. Our lives changed that day. Our return to Pennsylvania and Dean's new home for a few months, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital, was a relief, but at the same time we knew the journey to recovery had just begun. Thanks to the incredible staff at HealthSouth, Dean was able to return home to us in November and was able to walk and care for himself with minimal assistance. The thanks we owe to them cannot be expressed enough. Dean still goes to therapy at HealthSouth and continues to improve day by day. Again, thanks to the staff at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital. We cannot go without saying "thank you" to all our family members, neighbors and community for all the prayers, help and support we have received. We also thank Dean's employer, Bimbo Bakeries, for their understanding and my co-workers at Crescent Industries for participating in the silent auction. We extend our thoughts and prayers to you and yours. |
