Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hello, I also heard that I was not big enough to be four, five, six, and seven months pregnant. My due date is in two and a half weeks and people are not telling me that I look like I am ready any day now. Sometimes people don't always know what they are saying. When they told me that I did not look big enough to be as pregnant as I was, it scared me. I am 41, and I was afraid the baby was not growing properly. For some reason, I would never tell anyone, " g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Okay, I hit the send key too soon: For some reason, I would never tell anyone, " Gee, your child does not look big enough to be seven years old. " Don't they realize they are saying the same thing to me when they say, " You don't look big enough to be that pregnant. " Sometimes I wonder if it just normal maternal competitiveness between mothers. So far, I have never heard a comment like that from a man or from a woman who is not a mom. My son is seven years old and off the charts in size. Like I said, I would never say to anyone, " Your child does not look big enough to be seven. " My son was always off the charts in size. Now he is a head taller than all the other kids his age. When he was younger, he was only a matter of inchces talller than kids his age. Other mothers constantly told me that their kids were much taller than mine until they saw them standing side by side. Then they got embarrassed or angry. Some women have their own insecurities for competing with other mothers. We just have to let it roll of our backs because we know we have healthy kids who are all wonderful in their own ways.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hello, This is embarrassing, but I hit the send key too soon and everything got mixed up in my posts about pregnancy size. What I meant was that people are NOW telling me that I look like I am going to deliver any day now. My due date is in two in half weeks. That was a typo which I never had a chance to correct. Previously, I was told that I did not look pregnant enough to be as far along as I was. It was scary to hear that because I thought of the baby's health and birthweight. My point was that some mothers are competitive with other mothers. I have never heard a comment like that from a man or from another woman is not a mother. People have their own insecurities which make them say these things. Last month, a woman saw me and said " You finally look pregnant. You did not even look pregnant the last time I saw you. " She made so many comments to me about my pregnancy size it was unbelievable. I said, " Taller women do not pop out as soon as shorter women do. The fondal height is 40 cm, and it shows up less on a taller woman. I have heard about some tall women who barely look pregnant, and they have nine pound babies. " She appeared to be astounded that I finally defended myself. Some mothers will always be saying these things to eachother. As long as we know our children are healthy there is nothing to worry about.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi , As my current thing is thinking about what is a normal gait I picked up on the following........ > personal histories. I had severely dysplastic hips, have never, ever had a > normal gait (until now), ROM was severely limited, etc. > How long did you figure it took the brain to figure out what could be called 'normal'...... and actually do it??? I find these peculiar things happening as my brain fiddles trying out changes in the center of gravity etc and this business of figuring what is a normal gait doesn't seem too easy........ groan. I seem to get confused easily as yet and end up walking like some weird out of sinc robot if I try to concentrate on what I am doing/watching myself in mirrors etc........ Do you have any tips or was it just something that you woke up one day with it happening........???.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 wow- you sound so jazzed! i'm totally happy for you. i can hardly wait to have mine done. thanks for the glee, jeff (unknown) Hi Tess! Welcome aboard! Who is performing your surgery? I'm 6 weeks post-op today (hooray!) and happier than I've been in a LONG time. (you can ask my family!!!) I'm able to walk unassisted and am riding my bike around the neighborhood (carefully so as not to have an accident and end up on the ground unexpectedly!). Am looking forward to being able to get out and hit tennis balls again in another 6 weeks. These past 6 weeks have absolutely FLOWN by. I didn't expect that, so I've been pleasantly surprised! Feel free to ask about anything I may have experienced to date. I'm more than willing to answer any questions and remove some of the unknown for those contemplating resurfacing.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 You are more than welcome. Wish everyone with hip problems could know of this procedure before they end up unknowingly with a THR. I was almost one of those! Boy! Would I have been PISSED if that had been the case! I am so excited about getting my life back VERY soon. I was depressed thinking of my life ahead when I thought I'd have to have the THR. I am a very active person. That would have changed dramatically. Ugh! I am a happy camper now!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi Tess! Welcome to the group! Where do you come from and where is your operation planned? I had my BHR operation 4 weeks ago at dr. Koen De Smet in Gent- Belgium. I come from the Netherlands. My operation was very successfull and I am recovering now. Walking around on 1 crutch (soon without, I hope..). I had no pain after the operation, but my leg was swollen and I could not move it. 1 Day after the operation I got a fysiotherapist working on my leg and I had to walk with a walking-rack and 2crutches. Every day I could move my operated leg a little bit more. You need a lot of patience and you know that you don't have the walking problems and pain anymore of the time before the operation.. If you like to know how I looked like when I came home untill 2 weeks after the operation click on the following link: http://piloot.smugmug.com/gallery/11638 If you have any questions, let me know!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 For some reason your email doesn't seem to have come through complete - if you check down further, you will see what I mean. You certanly have spent a lot of time out here . Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same about Quebec, but I have not had the chance to visit there yet. I have ancestors from there too, quite famous ones - my great-great-great grandfather was e from Montreal and you probably know e Street there. His family home was there, when it was still farm country. He became a famous furtrader with the Hudon BAy Company and NOrthwest Company (circa 1800-1832). There is even a website about him and his history, being born in Montreal and later returning there when he left the HBC. So it makes me fel that I have a Montreal connection, from far back in time. I too wish you well with your surgery, you are very fortunate to be having it so soon, I think that a higher power is watching out for you.(and hopefully for me too). Sharry (unknown) Sharry, You are doing good in French and l hope that you will have the opportunity to practice a little. l'am happy that you are going to have your surgery. lt is on the other hand a tragedy that the accessibility of our health care systems are so deficient. l know the Okanagan Valley very well including Penticton. l worked in Calgary several years from november to april with guys from the Okanagan Valley.l was migrating to the Okanagan Valley working in orchards every summer.l worked several seasons 3 miles south of Summerland. l walked up to the giant's head so many times. One of the main reason l prefer Osoyos has to do with French Canadians that go to the Valley. Unfortunately and its a shame that too many of our fellows come to the Valley for a season and have no respect towards your people and also their properties and l just cannot stand it. l will pray that your resurfacing will be a success, that you will recover completely and resume to an active and fruitfull life. On my side l hope to have my resurfacing next month. lf l recover completely, l have plans to spend the summer in the Okanagan, this sounds awkwards is not it, because l have 10 weeks in my holliday bank. Just imagine being healthty again to the point of picking fruits. If it is not possible, l could then get involve with Green Bay Bible Camp. in any ecase this will offer the opportunity to my kids an exquise environment to my children to tackle English. l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Tony, we may meet in Lexington Med Center! I'm flying down from Detroit on Sept. 16th for pre-op with Dr. Gross, then have the operation early morning on the 18th (right hip). I'm calling the hospital to find out the name of a hotel which I was told by friends is right across the street from Lex. When exactly is your surgery? My office no. is if you want to talk before the trip. Home phone is . Ken - Dr. Gross 9-18-03 " tonys127 " on 09/08/2003 08:32:36 AM Please respond to surfacehippy To: surfacehippy cc: Subject: (unknown) Hi Everybody, Sorry I haven't had a chance to write in so long. Apologies to everyone I've been in touch with. It's been quite a while since my last elated post. I had just recieved my date of Sept 15 for surgery with Dr Gross. Since then it's been a real rollercoaster white- knuckle ride. I was up 'til 1:30AM this morning writing up the complete saga with all it's blood curdling details but I was so bleary eyed I must have hit the wrong button and lost the whole thing. I'll never write another post in that stupid box again. It's MS Word from now on. Suffice it to say that due to totally unexpected insurance snags, it was looking like I would'nt be getting my surgery after all. Only a last minute miracle has put me back on track and God willing, I'm heading south on Wednesday as planned. I have a couple of last minute questions for everyone and the Doc Gross vets in particular. I'll be at Lexington Med Center and I'm about to reserve a room for my wife at the Ramada. Is this an OK place or can someone recommend a better alternative? What, if any, medical gadgets do they send you home with? Do you keep the leg wedge thing? Should I bring my own crutches and what type does Gross recommend? What's the story with the polar thing? I'm being discharged on a Thursday (hopefully) and my flight home is for 5:50 pm. Whats the usual discharge time? And would someone please go over the list of gadgets I'll need at home one last time just so I can double check my list. Getting a bit nervous and finding too many things to think about. Any last minute advice is appreciated and thanks for all your help. Tony S P.S. It really was a good story, scary and with quotation marks and everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Yes, Just do not eat, drink anything, no medication. That should slow us getting any type of cancer. So scary sometimes. You see, my cancer is supposed run in my family. I was not obese, did not eat alot of red meat, and was in great physical shape. Have a horse farm and clean stalls, ride horses, care for many other critters, put up hay. So that goes against all the critirea(sp?) for being high rish colon cancer. Tell me how I got it anyway!!! Cannot believe a word they say, can we now? So we all will beat this no matter what our odds are. How can one trust what these professionals tell us. (Smile) I feel better already.
