Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 For some reason I am not getting all of the posts from the list and it is irritating me!!!! I don't know what is happening Does anybody have any clue as to why this is happening? ######### I see your from AOL too... Mine has been doing that also. Plus if I do get them it's a day late. Also you just might have them, only all mixed up!! I'll be reading the answer before I even read the question. Do not know why! I go to the archives to catch up on what I've missed.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hello to all CNY soapers! I don't actually live in CNY anymore but I just had to join. My family is still there, my parents in Rome, my sister near Albany and my brother/SIL in Ithaca. I'm married to a military man so I haven't lived in NY for about 11 years. I'm in North Dakota. I get SO homesick! I want to move back home. Anyway, I hope you don't mind me hanging around for a while. Maybe one day I can be an " official " CNY soaper! (who wishes she could join the fun in Canandaigua - We've had some new members join in the past few days. Please pull out the soap box and introduce yourselves. We're a friendly, relaxed group.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hi to new members here in our little group. My name is and I live outside Utica, NY in a small town called Ilion. If any of your husbands hunt, they have most likely heard of or owned a Remington rifle or shotgun. They are made right here in Ilion. That's the only think we're known for here. Anyway, I only do M & P soaping currently. Too chicken to try the other soaping. But I really enjoy what I'm doing and the artistic part of me is finally being put to use. We're glad to have you join us here so don't take a back seat. Just speak right up and it does not have to be about soaping. If you have a bad day or something just complain to us.....we'll listen. Right girls?? M RE: New Members Hello to all CNY soapers! I don't actually live in CNY anymore but I just had to join.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Hi Kathy: Thanks for the welcome. Believe it or not, I've never been to Niagara Falls! I left home when I was 18, searching for a " real " life! I've been homesick ever since! One day, I plan on returning to my home state, settling down & being closer to my family. -----Original Message----- : Welcome to our little group, My name is Kathy, and I live in Niagara Falls, I am sure if you lived in NY for awhile, you would have visited at least once.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 , I had the same condition, but did not have surgery until I was 59. By then, my organs were affected too. I had A/P T2-L5. I am doing ok. It is scary, but I am very glad I had the surgery. At his young age, his recovery will be so much better than mine. Best wishes to both of you. ===== Jeanette __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 , There is a mailing list that is for parents of children with scoliosis. The address is: http://www.ai.mit.edu/extra/scoliosis//scoliosis.html#subscription If you read down through the info. you'll find the parents group I'm talking about. The parents who subscribe to this list might be very helpful to you. I subscribe to the digest version and have read thro some of the parents e-mails, so I know there are parents out there facing the same issues you and your son are. My heart goes out to you having to deal with all of this. Good Luck and take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi , My son was born with severe congenital scoliosis. I would strongly suggest getting another opinion before proceding with fusion surgery. If they only do a posterior fusion (with rod placement) this will not address his chest capacity issues. Hopefully you will find a doctor that understands that the chest compromise is more important than straightening the spine, at this point. With kyposcoliosis, it's even more important to find a doctor that you have 100% confidence in. Ask your ortho if they have heard of the Titanium Rib Project (Dr. in San , TX is the lead investigator). The TRP treats children just like your son - children with lung function compromise. Pulminary function is their #1 goal, and second to that is stabilization of the spine. My son had his TRP implant surgery in August 2001 at age 6. His right lung increased in size and capacity by more than 40%. Then, in March 2002, his first expansion surgery, they improved the lung size/chest capacity another 15%. Very significant, especially since we had no idea his lung function was so compromised. Immediately following his surgery in August, the thoracic surgeon told us that " he would have eventually lost all use of his right lung, had he not had this surgery " . Pretty overwhelming thoughts for us. Feel free to write me and I'd be happy to share more of our experiences with you. There are certain criteria that a child must meet to qualify for this procedure, and there are other issues involved. Also, there are other procedures that help, but haven't had as dramatic improvements. Avoiding fusion at this young age is the goal. Once you fuse the spine, it can't be undone. My son had a/p fusion at 11 months old and that has complicated his TRP treatment. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 ... Actually, I think you probably want the Scoliosis Child list, as that list is for caretakers of very young children with scoliosis. (The Parent list is for parents of anyone with scoliosis.) To subscribe to that list, send an email to: scoliosis-child-request@... with only the word SUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. If you're successful, you'll receive an automatic message telling you how to post messages to the list.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hello, I am studying for the ptcb test in march. New in this field and all your help and guidence will be appreciated. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi and welcome to the group. What area of pharmacy are you working in? Jeanetta has helped hundreds of techs study for and pass the PTCB exam. There is a wealth of information in the tutorials located under the 'files' option to the left of your screen. As the Nov exam date moves closer, you will notice a dramatic increase in activity on this message board. Reading the posts/questions of others preparing for the exam would be time well spent. If you have not already done so, I suggest you take the practice exam on the PTCB website. This will help you to identify and work on your weak areas. There is also a free calculations practice test at the TechLectures website. You can jump to both sites from our links section.
