Gayet, who is on staff at University Hospital Center in Poiters, France was able to use the same equipment and plates and screws that he uses on his human patients.

It explains guidance (advice) from NICE (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence). It does not cover using rivaroxaban to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism in adults who have had other types of surgery.

Caryn and I have been fighting a particularly virulent strain of rhinovirus this past couple of weeks, and it had us pretty far down. I’ve reached bottom and think I’m better today than yesterday; it’s a start. During all this coughing, hacking and sneezing, I’ve still been doing my physical therapy rehab: leg lifts, squatting exercises, all the fun stuff. It got me to thinking about how much effort I’m putting in after the fact of hip replacement. The docs have done everything they can; now it’s my turn. Anything I get back from here on out is all up to me. What about my multiple sclerosis? I know that many of us (and I’m one, don’t think I’m pointing fingers) don’t ...

The simple fact of fashion and MS is that sometimes it’s just hard to get into them! As I’ve mentioned, I’m using my recovery as prep for “the big one.” One of the biggest, fundamental issues I’ve faced over the past 7 weeks is dressing myself. The first problem I discovered post-op was bathing myself (there’s something about the side of a tub and hip surgery that don’t go so well together but I eventually got that one figured out). Most of the dressing issues I’ve faced in the past couple of months have had to do with what goes on or below the legs. Lifting my right leg is much easier now, but raising it even enough to slide on a pair of sweat pants ...

This week, however, as I prepare to leave my hospital room (can I take that plasma flat-screen with me?) and make my way home the words of her song, “You’ve Got a Friend,” keep repeating in my ears. I was a kid when “Tapestry” came out in 1971 and I couldn’t tell you the first time I heard the song, but through the years the words; “Winter, spring, summer or fall…all you’ve got to do is call..” have found themselves ingrained into my person. I’ve always held this lyric a lofty and noble goal as someone’s friend. I fell short of it, but feel a better person for trying. I’m also finding that it was an investment I didn’t even know I was making... Life with MS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1851316 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 21:59:01 +0100 1851316
