Forgive us if we get sentimental on you!
Its been 10 years. Several years ago, Rehabilitation today did a cool article on one of our favorite patients.
5 years ago, a local Lansdale
resident was a feature story in a national publication, Rehabilitation Today. After interviewing Jane, they chose to label
the article “The Bionic Women” after understanding Jane’s history and conquest.
At age 78, Jane Alcott has battled
uterine and breast cancer, while successfully recovering from 9 major
surgeries in the past 10 years. She continues
to fight, always finding ways to life functionally with her lifelong physical
nemesis, rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosed over 45 years ago by her uncle, Jane
has looked Rheumatoid Arthritis straight in the eye and fought it with
determination.
These days, Jane is taking
life a bit slower. Past mornings of walks
along South Broad Street have been replaced with long mornings transferring out
of bed and taking care of herself. “I
don’t have the energy I did at 73, but I take one day at a time, working to
stay active”.
Over the last 10 years,
getting to know Jane has inspired us at PTW.
Jane has deepened our understanding with the complexities of dealing
with severe physical pain. Jane she is a
constant reminder of what a positive outlook on life can do for you.

to the people in the North Penn and surrounding communities, serving up evidence based Physical
