I couldn't be happier. I'm back to teaching karate to kids and I hope to test for my black belt within the year. Frankly I'm just happy to be walking up and down stairs pain-free. |

After the surgery, I got wonderful care at Mid Coast Hospital The nurses took really good care of me. The therapists were very thorough, explaining how to do all my exercises. I spent a week at Bodwell Rehabilitation Center after my hospital stay. |

In the hospital, I had a private room on the new Medical/Surgical Unit. It was as comfortable as home. My care team was caring and attentive. They were very attentive to my husband, too, whenever he was with me. |
