I broke my leg and I’ve never felt so much pain. If anything, the pain got even worse after I had surgery to put the bones in my thigh back into place. I wondered if I’d ever be able to get around on my own.

I got my answer at Slate Valley Center. I was admitted there for my rehab, and the team was great—welcoming me, making sure I was comfortable, and offering encouragement. The nurses and therapists worked together, easing my pain and working with me until I was walking again.

In less than three weeks, I was back home and feeling stronger than ever.
