Sarah was tri-athlete and avid rock climber before she suffered an injury while hiking the Appalachian trail with her friends. She accidently slipped down the side of a steep ravine during an intense rain pour on their month's long backpacking trip. After almost a day waiting for help due to weather related set backs, she arrived at the hospital. Medical staff determined her leg would need to be amputated. After a few months, she had spent time in the hospital and completed her rehabilitation program. Now, it was time to come home.
​
She wanted to return to her job and to be able to take her dog Pepper outside without being concerned she would fall. She desperately wanted her independence back and wanted to live alone again. Before the accident, she had been an independent woman with a successful career and she wanted to invest the time it would take into this wellness program in order to get her back to her life goals.
Although she has been able to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system so far, she wanted to know how to move forward with her life goals after injury. She had maxed out her insurance options and wanted more home based supports. She reached out to the a•bridge team to develop an accessible home exercise program to maintain her strength and balance. The team was instrumental in making sure she could safely and independently move around her house in all the important areas like the kitchen and bathroom. She was given professional support to transition to using the prosthetic full time and walking her dog Pepper daily. The a•bridge team even helped her adjust to grocery shopping and feeling comfortable in her workplace.
​
How a•bridge Surgery & Recovery Support helped Sarah: a•bridge's licensed occupation therapist took the time to understand Sarah's goals and get to know what's important to her.

"Occupational therapy practitioners ask, "What matters to you?" not, "What's the matter with you?"
In its simplest terms, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations)."
