2 questions, inhaling and arthritis issues

[Guest guest]

Hi all, thanks for chilling on the hate mail.

First, I don't understand how we are supposed to use the balloons to get us

to inhale more ... ? Please explain. I also ordered a spirometer but when

I was in the hospital with Gail our understanding was that you try to

exhale and push the ball up....what gives here?

Second, I have severe degenerative arthritis, exacerbated by weight. My

big hope was that loss of weight would lessen my problems not increase

them. I have heard other people say their arthritis did not lessen or

actually started. Is it possible that something lacking our diets creates a

worseining affect after surgery, perhaps for certain types of arthritis? -

osteo, degenerative, rhematoid?)
