Today we highlight a client who has battled through adversity on multiple occasions. She demonstrates the pigheaded discipline and determination it takes to maintain her strength and independence.
She understands that you “either invest in your health now or pay the price later”.
“A healthy man has thousands of wishes, a sick man has only one”. –Agnes Karll Schwest Krankenpfleger
Karen’s story.
Dealing with multiple sclerosis has created multiple challenges for Karen. A loss of strength, endurance and balance makes even some of the simplest daily tasks difficult.
If dealing with MS was not tough enough she developed a fear of falling after several stumbles. She thought it was just a part of life but tripping over a rug at a local restaurant was the last straw. Karen knew she had to get serious if she was going to keep working and maintain her independence.
Karen was lucky enough to avoid major injuries after her fall but knew she needed to be aggressive and proactive to maintain her independence and avoid future falls.
Karen’s confidence was at an all time low after her fall. She had even greater difficulty walking and her left leg felt extremely weak. Climbing stairs, walking on un-level ground, and even enjoying a walk through the grass was proving both challenging and stressful. We worked with Karen to develop a specialized program tailored to her needs, helping her increase her confidence and maintain her independence.
While her MS is still present and she understands the ramifications of her disease she is determined to work hard to maintain her strength and independence.
“Dealing with multiple sclerosis is a daily challenge in my life, but when it really starts to interfere with your normal day-to-day activities, it’s time to go to work with a therapist. MOSS Rehabilitation Center was the best place to help me achieve my goals; and improving my working and strength levels are my goals. The Rehab Center has great professionals to help you achieve your goals, no matter what your challenge may be. Thanks for helping me find a plan and work the plan! You’re the BEST!!” – Karen Buerkle
