Hi Michael,
Whatever works and minimizes discomfort in the
long run.
From what I've both heard and read, a knee replacement--if the
follow on > therapy is done also--is well worth the relatively short
term pain and
There have been a few reports of complications, but
one wonders if the disasters came from less careful
or tidy surgeries. I've heard only one or two, with
most people being of the sentiment "why didn't I
get them done sooner?"
Barring infections, from what I've heard/read, it's been a very
beneficial surgery for most people. I understand that technology now can customise the fit to an indivdual more precisely than ever. We will have
a good talk with the doctor about the ins and outs beforehand--he's
written (it's now on line as a reference for other ortho doctors) a text
book on orthopedics so he will give us an honest answer to our
questions.
immobility. I'm to the point now where the knee, as is, is more
limiting > to my daily activity level than I want it to be. A
replacement would
restore a good bit of that function for some unknown amount of time.
That being the point.
True; I wasn't wearing the brace for the half hour or so I was on my
feet the other day while preparing supper--and felt it afterwards. I'm
doing more quick and easy on my feet cooking; we're still eating well
but I'd like to be able to cook without having to worry about a problem
knee. It's buckling on me from time to time also, don't want that to
happen at a critical point in working with food.
Even with my ultramodern titanium equipment, the
manual says to alert the staff before going into
the imaging lab.
I was asked, both at my doctor's office and at the MRI facility.
A good precaution for them to take. It wouldn't be
good to have someone's device get hot or go haywire
or for them to have to clean blood off the lab walls.
Not a good idea. Left my watch, rings, MedicAlert bracelet with Steve,
glasses and cane left outside of the lab. Only metal on mw was what is
in me.

One part of uncivilization is lots of litigation, and
one part of civilization is that the lawyers don't get
free rein.
And in the end, nobody is fully satisfied.
Except the litigators. Certainly not the litigants.
The ones in the middle end up getting the most out of it.
Seems that way, doesn't it.

Or a serious chocoholic. (G) That was in my pre diabetic diagnosis

That's the equivalent of about 50 bars of chocolate.
At splitting one a day, less than 2 months. Dark chocolate has less
sugar/carbs than milk so it would have been do-able. (G)
It would seem to me that if someone had any olfaction
at all, s/he would be able to detect fishy fish.
It's obvious, faster, to some people, more so than others.
Of course some are more sensitive than others, but
I'm doubting anyone able to smell at all could long
ignore a three-day-old fish.
No, that tends to get your attention rather fast.

That recipe would be heart-stoppingly salty as well
as unhealthy in other ways. Of course, the fewer
Cowboys fans the better.
Very true on both accounts. (G)
