Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 While there I had a physical with my PCP. He called > today to report that I have mild bone thinning and that I should continue or up > my 1500 grams of calcium and add some light weight training. He is really > proud of me and said he wouldn't have recognized me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``` Marla, I don't know if your pc did this or not, but one of you need to send dr.k a copy of everything you did... The reason I say this is at the meeting Dee and Michalle [sp] said that it is important for them to have copies of everything we do.as they can keep a record, they are trying to get Delano Hosp certified as a wls hosp for blue cross.. I am right aren't I Marta???? When I had my bone scan I made sure they got a copy also, now I am on 4000 units of calcuim a day... Sounds like you had a great vacation, and 16 is a great place in softball, who knows what next year will bring the team.. Keep up the great work,isn't awesome that people don't know who you are??? I just loved it God bless, pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yes, Pat, one of the criteria BC uses is follow-up of patients. We need to maintain contact with the office so that they can accumulate enough percentage points to qualify as a center of excellence so that future BC patients can benefit from Dr.K's groups expertice.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Marla, It must be individual because I can take anything, even extended release meds and do not have a problem with them. I even tried the infamous Effexor ER and it worked within a couple hours. Wow! Too bad it gave me a headache or I would still be on it! lol Actually, while on the subject of drugs, I tried some Lunesta and I woke up sweaty. Since I rarely take any sleep aids it may be months before I take one again, but I will be curious to see if it happens again. Marta > Any advice on having surgery after having the DS? Any meds I can't have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Marla, I don't know how much they weigh, but titanium is light, right? So they shouldn't change your weight a significant amount. That is my best guess. Marta > Marta, how much do two sets of titanium knee replacements weigh? I thought > I would gain and initially I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 If you are cold all the time and craving sweets, you might need to up your iron! The anemia made me cold and crave sweets like crazy. Just a thought. Anne in Santee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi: Jo posted a couple new pictures in my photo album. They are from Christmas. I finally hit a new low today: 143.2. I was so happy that I actually worked out today longer than usual. I am up to 2.5 mph with the new knees on the treadmill - a far cry from the 4.25 miles pre knee injuries. But, I am happy and mobile and doing lots of walking and biking. Mel: I found a September 1, 2003 recipe you and Pat exchanged called Cinnamon Clouds. Oh, my gosh, they are great. I added walnuts to the cream cheese and Ron loved them. I am shocked I lost weight after eating them because I had two of them the same day.
