On this particular morning I was in a state of depression! I had been on crutches for over a year, closely approaching 2 years, without walking. My Podiatrist had given me the somber news that it will require lots of therapy for me to begin walking. I knew that I needed to snap out of this depression, not just for me but for my daughters. So I started to search for a therapist in the neighborhood and found PHYSIO THERAPY. Here goes nothing. PHYSIO THERAPY, who knew this would be the place that would get me on the road to healing and subsequently changing my life...GOD knew and one other person, my physical therapist, Jennifer Delman. Meeting her is one of the best things that has ever happened to ME! As a child I would often hear my father refer to greats things by saying, " this is the best thing since sliced bread". Well, JEN of PHYSIO is my "sliced bread". From the minute I hopped inside the facility room on my crutches, I was owned by Jen... in a great and professional way. She was attentive to all my needs, concerns, dreams and fear(s). Prior to meeting Jen and Physio, I had been on crutches for over a year. I was discouraged, hopeless depressed and very isolated to the outside world. Well Jen changed all of that. Her helping me mentally was equally important as her helping me physically, maybe even more. Her ability to connect with me, her willing to see through my pain to help me physically heal but not disregard or ignore my mental feelings. Her encouraging me through every exercise and every visit. Her honesty, sometimes saying, "I need more from you, I know you have it in you"! Often times she would have me look her in the eyes and she would say, "We are going to get through this"! After the first week, I started seeing results immediately, wow! Why Wow? Well, I had not been able to put my foot on the ground/floor for a year and a half. After that point, you couldn't tell me anything! I would call Physio from my job with excitement saying loudly, I CAN TOUCH THE GROUND! As we approach the new year, I'm trying to set as may appointments as I can, to avoid out of pocket. On this 18th day of December, I can proudly say, that I'm walking without crutches. I thank GOD for all his blessings on me every day, for all he does. I can now add to my prayer(s) to GOD, "Thank you GOD for Physio- Milan, Zoey, Crystal, Michael and most importantly, my coach, my therapist my mentor, MY FRIEND, Jennifer "Jen" Delman, WOW.....who knew!
