Susan's Page

We came home from the hospital last week and have seen some improvement. Susan is on a strict diet and has begun physical therapy. Her homework is to practice walking (with me moving her right leg and supporting her right arm). She has several other exercises, too. She has been playing “Go Fish” with the whole family each evening and is helping our son with the crossword puzzle. She got 23 Down “Juliet’s last name” (CAPULET), and 9 Down “Century parts” (DECADE). Susan is talking fine at most times with occasional difficulty finding a certain word. She still remembers how to order people around pretty well, too. We have a long way to go, but progress is progress.

Susan is out of the hospital and had a good night’s sleep. She is in good spirits, talking with her sisters and beginning a new phase of her recovery. She is speaking more easily today.

Susan is currently in Tampa General Hospital for close observation. Sensation beginning to return slowly. Spirits and awareness improved over yesterday. Would have been better if the Bucs would have beaten the Falcons!

Dear Patients,

You may have heard that Susan has suffered a stroke. It saddens me to tell you that this is true. I know you join me in wishing her well and I thank you greatly for your love and prayers. I cannot thank you enough. She is expected to make a full recovery, but that will take time.

Susan has helped a lot of us over the years and now she needs our help. One question that may be on your minds is, “what will happen to Susan’s office until she returns?” Well, that may be up to us, her patients. It struck me very gravely that my children need me to be very healthy, especially now. So, I would like to invite you to join me in rededicating myself to do what Susan had instructed me to do nutritionally and lifestyle-wise. Let’s follow the advice she gave us: let’s take our vitamins. Get healthy. Stay that way, because there are people that need you. Your family needs you and the community needs you.

And by improving your own health, you will help keep Susan’s office open until she returns. She will return, because we all want her to be there when we need her. Now, the best way we can help her is to follow the personal instructions she gave each of us to TAKE OUR VITAMINS.

We want to help you stay close to the ones you love.

Sincerely,

Paul Player

My chiropractic internist gathering in Cincinnati two weekends ago was great, although intense. We had 24 hours of presenters in two-and-a-half days. PHEW!

I love being with this group of doctors. Many of them are from the group I studied with in Charlotte, NC every month for 2-and-a-half years in the mid-90’s during my original post-doctorate courses. All of these chiropractors are dedicated to being full-care natural physicians for their patients. It is very different for me compared to most chiropractic continuing education seminars which are much more limited in their scope. I feel like I am with my group.

There was a tremendous amount of information that I have already began to implement in my patients’ care. As I review and study my 10 pounds of notes there will be more to come to help people even more.

I want to let you know that we are officially open until 6 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Most of those evenings we are here at least until 7-7:30 PM wrapping things up, preparing for the next day’s patients, etc. If you need to pick up supplements in the evening, please call before 6PM so we can get them ready for you. And if you’ll be by after we’ve left, we can hang them on the door for you.

I want to make sure that you have the supplements you need to help you reach your health goals and if evening pick-up is easier for you, we are here. Also, we can ship supplements to you if that is easier.

We had a very successful response to our “Spring into Health” new patient special. Thank you to all of you who referred your friends and family members to start care.

As a result of this, as well as wanting to help people during the current economic downturn our country is experiencing, I have decreased our new patient exam fee to $425. This includes the extensive health interview, personalized and very detailed examination, and a through report of my findings with recommendations on how to begin turning around the current health situation.

A good thing to have on hand during this treat-filled holiday is Homeopathic Sugar. When you or a family member has had an excessive intake of sugar, Homeopathic Sugar can help alleviate many of the negative symptoms that may result. We carry a 2 FL oz. dropper for $19.50.

This is not so much a health tip as it is a heads-up. I want to let you know that the office will be open only limited hours for supplement purchases and appointment scheduling from Tuesday, October 16th through Tuesday, October 23rd. I will be in Paris celebrating my 50th birthday with three of my sisters! It has been a place I’ve wanted to visit since I took my first French class when I was twelve and this seemed like a perfect time to do so. Call the office at (727) 449-0121 during that week for more specific details regarding the hours that someone will be here to assist you .
