“I suffered an episode of Septic Shock which affected major organs in my body including my brain. Because of the length of my confinement, I temporarily lost my ability to use my legs and do simple tasks like walking or even standing. I even lost some of the functions of my hands and arms. It is also noteworthy that I suffer from prolonged episodes of gout even before I was hospitalized. It is for this reason that my doctors referred me to the CMC Rehabilitation Department. Weeks before my discharge, I was already visited by the Rehab Therapists daily to start my rehabilitation and to prime up my muscles and joints. It was a painful process but I am glad I went through it. After I was discharged, I continued my visit to CMC Rehab Center in order for me to go back to normalcy. Since I started my bi-weekly sessions, I can say that we have progressed a lot. The sessions are still painful but the gains are really substantial. From having trouble just standing up I can now walk upright even for a limited time and distance. I am now looking forward to walking properly and independently without external support. I really am thankful that I am holding my rehabilitation at the CMC Rehabilitation Center and I am really thankful for the patience and commitment my therapist and the other Rehab Staff have shown me.”
