Diagnosed with osteoarthritis, Pamela recently elected to undergo a left knee replacement. Unfortunately, after the procedure, Pamela experienced complications with the anesthesia. Before safely returning home, she would need more rehabilitation. That led her to Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital.
“Such a clean facility!” Pamela remarked. “The food was good. We would eat in the cafeteria, and I made lots of friends. The nurse-to-patient ratio was fantastic. I got three hours of therapy per day, and it was quality therapy, where they really pushed me hard to be able to get home and taught me lots of exercises to do.”
Today, Pamela is safely back home, where she enjoys being in her favorite recliner, playing with her cat, Cinder, and being near her family again.
“I am so blessed to have my children and couldn’t have done this without them and the NCRH staff! Thank you to everyone that helped get my quality of life back!”
