Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Marilyn, I checked with my Dr. , and he said that I was doing fine and did not need a P.T. just keep exercising like the booklet shows. I did the stretches that you told me about, and I could feel the stretch. I am four weeks post op today walking without a limp in the morning, but limp pretty good in the evening. So I guess that you are going to be my P.T. Where do I send the check. :-) Bobby Bobby: I agree, you would do best to visit a P.T. to get and evaluation and home exercise and stretching program. However, I always instruct my patients in a simple Runners Stretch, good for THP and TKP. Stand at the kitchen sink, holding to the counter for balance; step back with one foot, keeping your heels down, and the knee straight on the back leg, lean forward into the forward knee. You should feel a stretch in the back of the calf and the back of the knee. Stretches are always done slowly, no bouncing, and hold it for 10-20 seconds. You only need to do 3 repetitions, then switch legs. The further back you step, the more stretch.Good luck, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Bobby: I am glad you are getting things stretched out, and feeling better. The evening limp probably means the muscles are still weak, and fatigued by the end of the day. I would recommend you stick w/ the cane in the evenings, to prevent a fall, or over taxing those already weak muscles. Keep up w/ your exercises, are you able to lie on your non-operative side, and lift your surgical leg up in the air? Hip abduction, against gravity. This is usually one of the exercises done in the hospital, but usually done lying on your back. Also, try some mini-squats. Do these at the counter or somewhere that you can hold on for balance. Spread your feet apart a bit more that shoulder width, and point your toes slightly outward. Bend your hips and knees, as though you were going to sit down, then come back up. Start w/ very shallow dips, then graduate to chair seat height. Be sure you are keeping equal weight on both feet. Another stretch you might like, is standing with your surgical side arms length from the wall, and gently lean your surgical hip towards the wall. You do no want to push the hip all the way to the wall, as that functionally puts your legs in the unsafe, adducted position. You should feel a stretch along the outside of your thigh and hip. Stretches, again, are done slowly, only 3 times, and never bounced.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Debra, Go for the CI, persevere and be patient. Good luck to you. Doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Doris, Reading about your success with a Ci is very uplifting. I go to the doc tomorrow to begin the paper work, not sure exactly how long it will take for the insurance approval etc... I decided upon the nucleus . There are so many people out there that say positive things about it & I hope to become one of those people as well. So far now I can barely hear ( you need to shout for me to hear you!!) Any suggestions or advice you might have please share with me!! Thank you for the well wishes Debra Newbe Hi Newbe I am sorry to hear about your hearing going down.I was about your age when my hearing began to really get bad and i became profoundly deaf at age 48.It wasn't until i was 58 that I heard about the Ci.I have now been implanted for almost 10 years and all I can say is Wow!i am so happy that you have a chance to hear before you become profoundly deaf.I have the nucleus 22 On my R side and an N24C on my left.I originally requested the Clarion but my surgeon could not insert the electrode array.He was prepared.he had an N22 in the or.He went with that.Got full insertion.I couldnot be happier with the hearing that i am receiving with my nucleus . I wish you well! Dora Weber Nucleus Volunteer Advocate dora_weber@... Bilateral N22-96 N24C-01 Cochlear Otosclerosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Name is Nilda, you had choose a good group to have support, I started just like you, will all the fears, worries, you name it, so far I havent experienced the symptoms just like you. But you know what the more you know about this disease which I call the monster, the more you learn how to cope with it. Just continue to live your life just like youve been doing, dont stop enjoyning your family, I have 3 kids and 3 grandchildren, but I decided to keep it between my husband, kids and my parents. Some people thinks that it is better to let everyone know, but I decided to keep it that way. The support that I have from this group and my family is enough for me. There is a person in this group her name is Deborah she will cheer you up, she helped me a lot, also Patti and others. Dont be afraid to ask, God still have us here for a reason so just hang on and God bless you.     Hey Deborah I bet you you are proud of me right now. ________________________________ From: maria rudloff <mariafrancesr@...> Hepatitis C Cc: Hepatitis C Sent: Mon, July 19, 2010 10:30:17 PM Subject: newbe     HELLO EVERYONE;I am overwhelmed at the response of the postings. I am really new to this and maybe I have not even accepted that I have hep C. I was quite naive about the severity of it all, and a little imbarassed to say that I have been relatively symptom free until recently. I have decided to not have treatment but maybe it is going to be time to reconsider. I guess I have been just burying my head in the sand.
