“The rehabilitation center has
one a wonderful job,” says the 47-
tar-old Thurston. “You should
ave seen me five years ago. I could
onothing.”
Last October, Thurston received
lie National Easter Seal Society Ga-
ititry Award, which is awarded to
lie Texas citizen who has done the
lost to overcome a handicap,
hurston has surpassed nearly all
mitations medical professionals ex
acted him to have with his strong
ielf-modvation, and with the help
rom his family and the rehabilita-
lon center.
Jim Thompson, executive direc-
jor of the center, says, “The main
goal of the center is to help individ
uals with physical handicaps reach
Mr maximum recovery potential,
irst, we try to eliminate the disablity
Itogether. If we are incapable of
liminating the disablility, we try to
ase or alleviate it. If the patient is
lermanently disabled, we train him
olive with the disability the best he
an.”
The center, located between St.
oseph and Humana hospitals,
treated 1,497 patients last year. This
(ear it is expected to exceed this
ilinount because 904 patients already
kave been treated in the past seven
kionths, Thompson says.
The center’s only financial sup
port is through patient fees and con-
ributions, yet it offers financial as-
istance to patients with economic
iroblems. Donations from individu-
Isand fund-raisers, such as the Eas-
er Seal Telethon, which raised
54,000 in March, constitute the
largest percentage of funds.
The center, with 26 staff mem-
*rs, offers a team approach to reha-
lilitation. Physicians, therapists and
counselors make up the team, which
Oeets every 60 days to evaluate each
patient’s progress.
The center provides services in

therapy, in addition to offering au
diology and social-psychological
services. The team develops a pro
gram, using whichever services are
needed, to help individuals reach
their maximum potential.
Physical therapy is aimed at
strengthening muscles and gaining
endurance to achieve maximum mo
bility. Rehabilitaiton includes exer
cises and activities to prevent, cor
rect, improve and alleviate physical
disablities.
Occupational therapy helps peo
ple become more functional in daily
activities such as eating, dressing and
homemaking. The center has a spe
cially equipped bathroom and
kitchen area to teach patients these
skills vital to everyday living.
Thurston, who undergoes physi
cal, occupational and speech the
rapy, says he can dress himself, vac
uum the house and wash dishes. His
overall goal is to be independent in
walking and standing, says his occu
pational therapist, Debbie McMillin.
The physical and occupational
therapy departments must have a
physician’s referral for a patient to
receive treatment. But the speech
pathology and audiology depart
ments will take patients by self-refer
ral.
Evaluations for anyone having
difficulty with expression or having
difficulty understanding words of
others are provided by the speech
pathology department. The speech
pathologist also helps people with
defects from strokes, head injuries
and cerebral palsy regain commu
nicative skills.
The audiology department tests
hearing acuity for problems and
provides services such as hearing
screening, lip reading and hearing
device information.
Thurston, unable to talk, was very
hostile, frustrated and angry when
he arrived at the the center, says his
physical therapist, Dee Dee Hodges.
He went through behavior mod
ification in the social-psychological
department to help him cope with
his problems. This department’s
goal is to help the patient and his
family adjust to the illness or disabil
ity and aid in the eventual re-estab
lishment of a productive lifestyle.
The teamwork program develops
when the therapists from these de
partments work closely with the phy
sicians and establish goals with the
patients.
One goal that Thurston reached
last summer was that of lecturing
again. He wrote a 15-minute speech
that he has given at several local
service clubs about his accident and
his successful rehabilitation.
He also has another personal goal
set for January 1988. Thurston, who
says he used to be the best dancer in
his class, plans to dance with his wife,
Lynn, on their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary.
Most people base the success of
the rehabilitation program at the
center on the relationship between
the staff and the patients.
Thompson says, “The staff is very
caring, and it tries to meet the needs
of the patients.”
Frances Tieman, executive secre
tary, says the team therapy is great.
“The girls (therapists) are so un
derstanding, warm and kind,” Tie-
man says. “They’re excellent with
the patients.”
Thurston says the staff at the cen
ter is fascinating.
“They all have patience and toler
ance toward all of us,” Thurston
says. . . I’d be nothing without my
therapists. They made me a working
human being again.”
