Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Margaret, I've been riding a mountain bike, of sorts, since my third week. I live on what could be considered a small mountain, and my bike is stationarily situated on the floor in front of the TV. Touché, encore! And if that weren't enough, I also brought my rollerblades up from storage yesterday, but I haven't quite mustered up or down the courage to put them on. Staninfr He walks!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Mararet I predict that you'll be using your mountain bike before you currently realize. It works on relatively level ground, too, doesn't it, or does it function only on mountains. Are there lots of mountains around you? Is Mount Siani (sp???) near you, or is that just a hospital in N. Y.?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yes It works on level ground too (which I prefer! I get too puffed riding uphill, and too scared riding down.) This is mostly pretty hilly country round here. I do have a couple of hundred yards of level lane outside my house to practise - but otherwise I'd have to take the bike on a rack on my car, and drive out of town to find level stretches. My nearest mountains are the Golan Heights and Mount Hermon. Also Mount Meron, about 10km from here. Mount Sinai is a long way from here - way down south in the Sinai Peninsula - belongs to Egypt now. About half an hour's drive downhill from me is the Sea of Galilee - some nice level rides round there. Also in the Huleh Valley nature reserve (a little further north) - great birdwatching place. The drive up to the Golan Heights is steep - but once you're up there (about 30 minutes drive from home for me), it's a large volcanic plateau, so the roads are fairly level, and the scenery spectacular! Some places you can get close to the Syrian border. I'm planning a few day-trips for when the weather's cooler and I am stronger and back on wheels again.....

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Mine's right hip. So it's the foot that I use for accelerator and brake pedals. (My car has manual gears). Sorry you're having such trouble with pain meds. I must be lucky - haven't felt any need for pain meds since I came home. Had slightly aching muscles, and my incision was itching and tender (still is, a bit). And my left leg is starting to hurt a bit. (I'll need to get that hip done some time in the future.) But nothing that needed pain control. Seems I got off lightly! Margaret ----- Original Message ----- _____ Bet she would too if she was close to the doctor who could do the approval. Margaret.....I forgot if its your right or left hip. When I asked about driving after surgery, the Rehab MD said there was no problem with it since it was my left knee. He already knew I didn't take pain meds during the day because they make me almost pass out. By the way.....did I tell you I had experimentally tried a Tylox during the day and monitored vitals after it? Within an hour, my pulse rate had dropped to 44, and pressure to 67/50. No wonder I feel horrible and puke on the stuff. y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Margaret Have you had your left hip X-rayed? I was concerned that I might need a hip replacement in the left leg because it's been sore to touch. However, I had an X-ray, and two doctors have said that the hip is in fine condition. I hope that they are right. I'm not ready for a repeat performance of my experience on 1 June 2004, are you? Thanks for the geography lesson, by the way. I've been in at least twenty different countries in the world, but I've missed yours. I even went " Back in the U.S.S.R. " on a student study trip when it was Communist. That was interesting. Peace, Staninfr > Mine's right hip. So it's the foot that I use for accelerator and brake pedals. (My car has manual gears). > > Sorry you're having such trouble with pain meds.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yes, I had both hips xrayed. The left is also bad (but the right one was worse). By the time I had surgery, the right was bone-on-bone, the left still has some cartilage. My surgeon's advice was to wait at least 3 months (for the right to completely heal), and then have the left one done. So I shall have to go through all this again at some future date. Meanwhile the left one doesn't feel too bad most of the time - it's not giving me the crippling pain the other one did - so I hope I can postpone it at least until next summer. I prefer summer, because then I won't have to struggle with socks and closed shoes, or with cold damp weather. Margaret ----- Original Message ----- MargaretHave you had your left hip X-rayed?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 y As you probably know, the Irak people had an outstanding educational system and advanced culture before the " good guys " destroyed most of it in recent years supposedly going after one evil man and non- existent WMDs. Well, I suppose it was worth it. We've only sacrificed slightly under a 1,000 young American men in the process. We did much better in Vietnam--45,000 young Americans. We don't need to be concerned about all the non-Americans killed, do we? If not American, they are typically evil, not in our ecomonic interest, or naive. Just venting.

There are lots of places in the world I haven't been to either, and I probably imagine them completely different to what they actually are. And we form our impressions from picture-postcards and from bits we see on tv - and it gives us a very limited and misleading picture of the place. I hope you find the right doctor to help you feel better. Take care, Margaret Re: Re: Driving Hi Margaret, I'm sorry I asked you such a stupid question I don't know where my brains where.Well you have a nice day.Sometimes I wish I had one of your guys Drs I might be feeling a lot better by now .
