A Janet Cromer le resultaba cada vez m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil caminar c\u00f3modamente y ya no pod\u00eda participar en las clases de gimnasia de las que disfrutaba. Finalmente, despu\u00e9s de que las intervenciones no quir\u00fargicas no fueran suficientes, se someti\u00f3 con \u00e9xito a una operaci\u00f3n de reemplazo total de rodilla realizada por Joseph Lifrak, MD,<\/a> cirujano ortop\u00e9dico de Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Como enfermera colegiada m\u00e9dica y psiqui\u00e1trica jubilada, lo que m\u00e1s me impresion\u00f3 fue la atenci\u00f3n integral que recib\u00ed a lo largo de mi experiencia en Southcoast Health\", dijo Janet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estaba tan impresionada que decidi\u00f3 nombrar a todos los miembros de su equipo de atenci\u00f3n como Estrellas de Southcoast a trav\u00e9s del Programa de Pacientes Agradecidos. Al compartir su historia, Janet record\u00f3 el impacto que cada persona tuvo en su viaje de curaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando necesit\u00f3 cirug\u00eda, Joan Wildenhain, NP<\/a>Joan le proporcion\u00f3 instrucciones claras antes de la operaci\u00f3n y cuidados y orientaci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de la operaci\u00f3n. A lo largo de varias citas, Joan respondi\u00f3 exhaustivamente a todas las preguntas de Janet y siempre se asegur\u00f3 de explicarle sus opciones. \"Sent\u00ed que se tomaba el tiempo necesario para entenderme como persona y no s\u00f3lo como mi complejo historial\", dijo Janet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al principio, Janet estaba ansiosa por someterse a la anestesia raqu\u00eddea, pero su anestesista la tranquiliz\u00f3 y le administr\u00f3 la medicaci\u00f3n con destreza. Despu\u00e9s de la operaci\u00f3n, Janet pas\u00f3 una noche en el hospital y luego volvi\u00f3 a casa, donde inmediatamente tuvo una cita de fisioterapia con Scott Cook, RPT de Southcoast Health at Home<\/a>. Disfrut\u00f3 de su combinaci\u00f3n de experiencia y humor mientras trabajaba con ella para evitar complicaciones y conseguir que se moviera r\u00e1pidamente. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mientras se recuperaba, Janet pas\u00f3 tres meses en terapia f\u00edsica ambulatoria intensiva con Karen Glenn, RPT en Southcoast Health Cerebro y Columna<\/a>. Karen siempre supo levantarle el \u00e1nimo cuando era necesario y la gui\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de un r\u00e9gimen progresivo que le permiti\u00f3 mejorar su movilidad de forma constante. Karen incluso fue m\u00e1s all\u00e1 y le ayud\u00f3 a desarrollar un programa de fuerza y fitness que Janet contin\u00faa en su gimnasio local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoy, Janet se enorgullece de poder caminar tantos kil\u00f3metros como quiera, sin dolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Este verano he ido de excursi\u00f3n por los senderos para carruajes del Parque Nacional de Acadia con mi marido\", dice. \"Tambi\u00e9n he vuelto a las clases de pilates y yoga, \u00a1y me siento como mi mejor yo de 75 a\u00f1os!\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
