Frequently Asked Questions
Here are questions we often hear from patients who have experienced an amputation. Talk with your treatment team about specific questions or concerns.Â
How long does it take for a brain injury to heal?
Recovery depends on the type and severity of the injury. Intensive rehabilitation helps maximize your independence and recovery potential.
How long will I stay at Mary Free Bed?
Your length of stay depends on your injury’s severity, current functionality, and progress. Patients typically stay anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
Can my family participate in my therapy?
Absolutely. Family involvement is encouraged to support your transition to independence, though therapists may occasionally ask family members to step back to ensure focus during sessions.
Why do I have problems swallowing?
Brain injuries can disrupt swallowing muscles or focus, leading to difficulties. A speech-language pathologist can assess and treat these challenges.
