Neurological Return

Once again, I experienced the joy of neurological return.

When I first saw this man, I was quite surprised. He was only 67. They all thought that he was suffered from depression. We all thought it was a dense CVA which implied no one would expect any return. His bed mobility and transfer were totally dependent. He felt dizziness whenever he stood upright. Walking was totally out of the story.

Right now, he was able to do bed mobility and transfer and even walking with 1 assist. I was so happy for him. He smiled whenever I joked with him. The joy of rehabilitation was completely experienced through this patient. The rehabilitation was not only based on his physical ability, but also mentally.

Glad to see him smile. Although he is leaving tomorrow, he will continue his training in Geriatric Day Hospital. Hopefully he can achieve his maximum potential. I sincerely wish him good luck in the future.

Thank you Lord for bringing the joy to me. Thank YOU!
