A well-known businesswoman from Sumter, SC, Geraline “Geri” Thompson-Rabon is very active in her community. Geri loves being outdoors with her animals or baking for her family in the kitchen. But all that changed when a motor vehicle accident left Geri with numerous injuries, including a spinal cord injury.

Geri admitted to Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital for her recovery. She arrived with weakness in her arms, legs, and hands and required the assistance of two people to stand or walk. After developing an individualized plan of care, Geri began her therapy sessions with a focus on strengthening her muscles through electric stimulation, improving her balance and walking ability, and managing the pain from her injuries.

After several weeks of intense rehabilitation, Geri made incredible progress and walked out of MRRH independently. “I am very pleased with my hospital stay,” she noted. “All the staff were great. Very helpful and pleasant. I have no complaints!” Likewise, Geri’s therapists are proud of her hard work and know she is well on her way to returning to baking, gardening, and spending time with her family.

Thank you, Geri, for choosing Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital for your recovery!
