Hi Michael,
The more your body copes and the less you have to rely
on the doctors the better.
He's the one that suggested the honey.
Ah.
He's very modern in a lot of his care but also not afraid to try the old fashioned remedies. His specialty is hips and knees but also does other orthopedic work, like the nail in my left wrist (an innovation at the
time). About 15 years ago he wrote a textbook on orthopedics, put it on
line (and updates the site every day), gave the rights from it to Duke Hospitals. Vitamins and proper nutrition (he asked if I was getting
enough protein) are part of his care also.
but they are at the helm of their own ship.
To a certain extent, yes.
I maintain that it's true to an overwhelming extent.
You can put up road signs as big as you like, but
they're driving the car, and it's up to them if they
want to take the bumpy route.
Their choice--I didn't say how great an extent they're at the helm
of > their ship.
An incompetent steersman is still steering.
And may steer the right course, just not the way you might chose to go.
But what this means is that reparations are in
essence facultative - a moral rather than a legal
obligation. I am a little uneasy with moral or
ideological mandates taking over from legal ones,
because it can get taken too far pretty quick.
There are groups ut there that are trying to get reparations for incidents long gone, of which some of us never had a part in. Those
of > us that never had an ancestor involved, shouldn't have to be made
to
pay. Same as those who's ancestors never had a part should never
demand > reparations.
It's a little more complex than that, but in
general I'm with you.
That's why "giving back the land to the natives" won't work either.
Didn't fit the vein of our conversation?
Artery-ble puns are getting a little twisted.
No bones about it, we are stretched rather thin.
Got to manipulate the course of the conversation.
You're sounding like my therapists there. (G)
Uh oh.
Nanipulating and stretching ligaments, etc. Getting the range of motion
back into the knee. I can now go up steps fairly well, going down (the
proper way) hurts somewhat but is do-able.
Looks like the Plan B (honey instead of betadine) is working;
we > ML> could > see definate improvement.
And it tastes better, too.
I've not tasted this one but agreed, overall, honey does taste good.
Medical grade should if anything be purer than
food grade, so there's nothing preventing you.
I'd rather it went on the knee (maybe half a teaspoon at a time) at
present. White sugar would work also but is messier and we don't keep
any in the house.
Yeah, well. I've noticed the northward march of tropical
and subtropical species since the 1960s. One wonders how
far it can be taken - will there be kudzu in Yellowknife?
Probably not in our lifetimes.
But in somebody's - possibly somebody's we know.
That's the troubling thing.
Very much so but I've no answer to the problem.
No TV for me. Can you or anyone else recommend an
unscented dishwasher soap, preferably in pods? Because
all three of the ladies in whose kitchens I dwell are
too lazy to measure liquid or powder detergent any more.
Don't know if there's a totally unscented pod but try the Finish Quantum. It seems to be fairly lightly scented.
Noted.
For a while, while the founder of Harbor Sweets was at
the helm, Sweet Sloops (one time courtesy of him and the
rest of them courtesy of me) were a regular feature of the
echo picnics.
IIRC, you brught some to HI while we were there.
Most likely. For a while I was a major booster
of the product.
Before you moved away from the Boston area?
