Story of the Month
Pat came into On My Own looking for help as she is due to have total knee replacement surgery in the coming weeks. She has never received services from On My Own and has recovered from multiple other surgeries on her own in the past. As independent as she is, everyone needs a little help and we were able to provide some assistance through our recycle/reuse program. We demonstrated several options for her to aid with her recovery. Her doctor had recommended a knee scooter, which can be a very expensive item, especially if it is only needed for recovery. Our program empowered her to find the correct item and we were able to have her set up with the item before her surgery. She is now able to continue her independence and recover in her own home. The On My Own recycle/reuse program and demonstration site allow for individuals like Pat to remain in their homes and obtain durable medical equipment that is necessary but not always easily accessible.
