In mid-July 2024, the unthinkable happened to Margie; she was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left her severely injured. Margie sustained multiple injuries, including nine total fractures. She came to Oklahoma City Rehabilitation Hospital to begin the arduous process of healing and regaining strength and independence.
The Oklahoma City Rehab Hospital team worked together to create a personalized care plan for Margie’s medical rehabilitation journey. They knew it would be a long road, but her therapists have been by her side every step of the way.
A Hope-Filled Adventure
When Margie had healed enough, her care team decided to take her on an outing so she could practice the skills she had learned in rehab. Accompanied by her two therapists, Lynn and Harley, as well as the OKC Rehab Hospital CEO, Stacie, Margie was able to experience some of life’s simple pleasures outside of the hospital that helped reinvigorate her spirit.
She said, “Oh my gosh, that was amazing! It felt so good to get out and do something normal instead of going to the doctor. In the beginning it was scary, and each thing I did in therapy, it made me realize how much I achieved. Getting away from here and doing it in real life out of the gym, it felt so good. It gave me confidence.”
She added, “I definitely couldn’t have done it without my rehab therapy. I did have fear of going out and wondered, am I going to be able to do it? I appreciate all you have done with me in therapy. I couldn’t have done it without you all. I am so thankful for Ms. Stacie and my therapists taking care of me.”
