No matter how much education one acquires, learning should never stop. Through many of you, I continue to grow and learn.
One day, a gentleman who was very active in our community, chose Red Cedar for his physical therapy services. Of all the types of doctors who refer, I was immediately struck by how this particular doctor thought about more than just his specialty. The doctor was a podiatrist, which isn't unusual, but he decided to refer the gentleman for services because the gentleman was having difficulty getting around his home and in Williamston. The difficulty in getting around had nothing to do with his feet! This gentleman was also undergoing dialysis a few times a week. So... he was weak.

Things That Make Me Smile
For example, "Jason" had a knee replacement 3-4 years ago. His situation was most definitely not what anyone undergoing a knee replacement would like to have happen. He had a complication - infection. When this happens (thank goodness I haven't seen it a ton of times in my career), rehabilitation is hard and long. The final results aren't generally fabulous and wonderful. Frequently enough, I see "Jason" as I drive toward the main intersection in town. He's always walking his dog. I can't help but smile - knowing how hard he worked to get to how I now see him walking - no limp with near normal motion. No one would even know he had such a time after his knee replacement, except for probably him and me. I smile...
What makes you smile?
