🌟 Patient Connect: Carmen’s Journey to Walking Without Pain 🌟
Meet Carmen. After years of severe hip problems and multiple surgeries—including hip replacements and lumbar procedures—Carmen’s journey toward full mobility has been anything but easy. A fall earlier this year required a second back surgery, but with the support of Dr. Perry and the Swift team, she’s been unstoppable in her recovery.
Now, six months post-procedure, Carmen is fully committed to regaining her independence. She attends PT twice a week, completes daily exercises, and wears a back brace as part of her six-month recovery plan. 💪 “I want my body back. I want to be independent. Anything I can do for myself to feel better; I want to do it. I’m in a hurry, but I’m learning to slow down,” she shares.
Carmen finds joy in every step she takes on the trails near her home and continues to inspire others through her story and involvement with her veterans group. “I wanted to be part of Patient Connect to share what’s possible and highlight positive outcomes I’ve experienced firsthand,” she says.
Her journey is a true testament to perseverance, dedication, and the power of a supportive medical team. “I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. This team has helped me get my life back,” Carmen concludes. ❤️
