Jodi Oehms is finally on the right path. On Wednesday, the wheelchair-bound patient at Sunplex Subacute Center in Ocean Springs walked - with assistance - for the first time in four years.
On Wednesday, the Sunplex Subacute Center patient walked - with assistance - for the first time in four years. The moment was caught by staff cheering her on.Oehms has been dealing with pain, frustration and setbacks for 10 years after a car ran over her foot. In her second go-around as a resident at the center, she made a personal commitment to get better.
“I am doing this because of myself - to get myself motivated again and get me a decent place to stay and be on my own,” Oehms added.“It hurt,” Oehms said. “But no pain, no gain, right? Got to keep on going. If you want it. If you lay on your butt, what are you going to get? You don’t get nothing.”“We can only do so much as therapists and we don’t want to force somebody, in a sense, to do something that they don’t want to do,” said physical therapist assistant Nicholas Leslie.
It has been an emotional journey for Oehms. But a good team behind her - pushed by personal motivation - has helped. “I appreciate everything everybody’s done for me. Thank my family for being beside me,” she said tearing up. “And I want to see my two boys.”
