“Before I was alive but not living. . . Thank you, Encore Rehabilitation-Hartselle!”

❓Why did Ms. Flowers say, “Before I was alive but not living“?

“I had a TIA in October and couldn’t talk well (aphasia). I had memory issues, thought process difficulties and difficulty walking. I had prior hip surgery which had never healed well and for which I had never had Physical Therapy. I decided to use Encore Rehabilitation-Hartselle for my rehab after the TIA.

“The staff have been remarkable! I had difficulty with the smallest tasks. Dakota, the Speech Therapist, helped me manage my mail, get out of the house with everything I needed, memory aids, and speaking without the frustration and tears that accompanied it. Physical Therapy has helped me walk without a limp. I’ve taken my grandchildren to the park and my dogs to the pet store. I’ve been able to go out on my own to church and lunch. These types of activities were mountains before therapy!

“I didn’t think I would ever be able to do what I’m doing!

“I’m blessed to have had this great group. Cheerful, pleasant, and accommodating, they have most importantly given me hope for an active life. Before I was alive but not living. Thank you, Encore!

“I won’t list all the names because I may miss someone, but I cannot say enough good things about this group! Thank you again, Encore!”~ Melissa Flowers, living again 🙂

Ms. Flowers, it has been a privilege to be a part of your wellness journey. You have made remarkable progress and we are proud to have you as our Patient of the Month! Thank you for choosing Encore!

We wish you all the best!

Chase Nolen recovers from Brain Surgery with Rehab at Encore-Andalusia Physical Therapy

We are pleased to select Chase Nolen as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation – Andalusia Physical Therapy!

He has made a remarkable recovery and we are proud to be a part of his rehab journey!

Here is Chase’s story as shared by his wife, Kelley.
“Chase was born with a congenital heart condition. Doctors told his family that he would not survive, but God had other plans. In 2012, doctors implanted a pacemaker/defibrillator. Chase typically needs the pacing due his heart rate being slow. But on November 27th of last year, as he was helping set up tables and chairs at church, his heart went into a dangerously fast rhythm that caused him to pass out. Because he also takes blood thinner, the resulting fall led to a life-threatening brain bleed.

“Chase was life-flighted from Andalusia Health to UAB where he underwent emergency brain surgery. His healthcare team explained that he would die without the surgery, but that he could also die during surgery. Even if he survived, they wanted us to be prepared for the possibility that he would only be able to ‘sit in a chair and follow us around the room with his eyes’ for the rest of his life.

“But God had other plans again! The surgery went well, and he began to recover. He went from the neuro ICU to the cardiac unit and finally to Spain Rehabilitation. At first, just sitting up on the side of the bed was draining for him. Then he began standing up with the help of two therapists. Slowly, but surely, he got better and better. He was able to come home on January 6th.

“We were thrilled that he could continue with his Occupational and Physical Therapy so close to home at Encore! Continuity of care was critical for him to be able to regain lost skills. He has gone from relying on a walker (and for long distances a wheelchair) to walking completely on his own without any device. His stamina and endurance have also increased. We are grateful for each Encore staff member who has worked with him to help him achieve his goals.” ~Kelley Nolen, wife of Chase Nolen

We admire the resilience and determination that Chase demonstrates with his rehab and recovery. He is an inspiration to us and others. We wish Chase continued success!
