Yes, to both of these statements. I have never felt that autism was hiding

Putter. Putter is so very autistic that there is little else left.

But one thing that makes it easier to accept your child as an autistic

person (and always continue working on moving forward which is what one does

with all children) is their degree of happiness. And perhaps the child's

ability to learn well. I imagine that having a very unhappy and very

difficult to teach child would make you spend more time wishing things were

otherwise than having a bright and happy autistic child. Makes sense to me.

So that piece is kind of luck of the draw.

Oh I agree. I wish I could make things easier for but, as you say,

autism is so much a part of him that I simply can't imagine him without it.

I have a great deal of hope that with time and therapy he will be able to

learn the things that I would change for him. Not everyone has that luxury.

There have been times when I have felt that autism was a seperate thing, a

thing hiding my child, pulling him away from me, doing horrible things to

him and to us. Those times have been few and far between. If I felt that

way regularly then oh yes, I would wave that magic wand.

Thank you for your feedback concerning a t-shirt that is advertised for sale on

the regularguys.com website. I speak for the management of WKLS when I say that

we too find the shirt in poor taste. Just so you're aware, please know that

regularguys.com is operated by an employee of WKLS. The station has no

ownership of it, nor draws any financial benefit from it. For that reason, our

logo does not appear on its webpages or on any of the products offered for sale

there. It was created by one of the members of the show to provide

interactivity for listeners (message boards, chat rooms, pictures, etc.). The

merchandise sold there is produced and distributed by Cafe Shops, and they

receive a fee for their service. I've been told no one has ordered the shirt in

question from regularguys.com.

The slogan as it appears on the shirt online, " Arguing on the internet is like

competing in the special olympics... " ... is an internet " joke " directed at

those who debate in chat rooms and via email. I'm told the intent of the shirt

was to point out people who take themselves too seriously by arguing via their

keyboard with people they've never met. However, we understand how humor to one

person can be offensive to someone else. We strive to keep our radio station

entertaining and on the cutting edge, but we will not allow our airwaves to be

hurtful to the handicapped. Quite simply, we find no humor in this.

With that in mind, there is to be no promotion of this shirt on our air, or the

attention it has caused with you. As far as anyone who listens to 96Rock, the

shirt does not exist unless they've somehow seen the webpage it occupies.

Secondarily, we expect that the shirt be removed from the webpage in question to

remove any further association with our radio station. Please be patient with

that to occur since, again, we do not have immediate access or rights to the

site.

I appreciate your understanding with this matter. Thank you again for bringing

Hi Dan,

Many thanks for the references............ My parents tell me I used to

adore cod liver oil as a tot so maybe I should go back to it..........smile.

I see those pesky enzymes getting more of a mention in those

articles.........so it would seem the real question is why do some of us

have more of them than others...........?? Or does everyone have the same

quantity and something sets it all off to settle in joints under stress??

And having gotten it set off what switch can be pulled to stop it??

I was also most interested in one of the articles that talks about a variety

of antibotic causing problems with tendons...... Much of my joint pain

seems more related to the tendons so I can only wonder about past

damage........

More things to ponder - thanks............

Hi Edith

Those articles intrigued me too. I was particularly struck by psoriatic

arthritis as I had completely forgotten about it. And I shouldn’t have as my

mother has psoriasis and OA. I wonder if some genetic anomaly passed on to me

caused OA without the psoriasis as well?

I have seen my OS today. He was very pleased with my progress and said that in

his view:

* The operation is less than 50% of fixing hip problems –

rehabilitation (physiotherapy at al) is more than 50% according to him

* He expected me to recover so much so fast as he thought I was much

faster in recovering after the op (no morphine and no pain killers might be one

reason) than most of his patients (I took a picture of him and me on day 3 when

I was already walking normally without any aides)

* Recovery times are mostly patient driven (he cited his initial work in

medical practice when he worked with spinal injuries: same condition, say para-

or quadriplegic patients who showed distinctly different rehabilitation rates,

i.e. patients with accidental injuries through sport or work were back to

“normal†life in wheelchairs much faster than those who sustained same

injuries through, say, suicide attempts; the former were able to find work as

disabled people, the later simply vegetated and were much slower in adapting to

the new conditions)

* Full recovery from hip resurfacing – regaining full ROM - is likely

to take at least one year; he has patients who took in excess of 2 years to

fully recover (again, he cited the strong wiliness and determination as key

factors, but stressed that the amount of work necessary to put in is in direct

proportion to the amount of damage sustained prior to the op (gait & posture,

atrophy, misalignment of skeletal structures etc.)

He remains a firm believer in this procedure and told me that he operated on a

19 year old boy on Monday – his youngest patient ever. I think he said it was

a bilateral and he wondered what on earth got this boy to wear out his hips so

young. He thinks mine might have been caused by excessive sports combined with

right-footedness (I was a footballer and being right-footed I always pivoted on

my left leg thus putting enormous pressure, both vertical and rotational on the

left hip; who thought that such repeated movements, coupled with a couple of

injuries to the hip may have triggered the process for which I might have been

predisposed genetically anyway; in any case, he said that my hip was in

extremely bad shape when he operated on me).

I am still very keen to explore the dietary aspects. Quite a number of people

seem to think that certain foods lead to worsening of their conditions and other

foods to improvements or, at least, a slowdown in deterioration.

On the drugs front, I can easily rule out all drugs but antibiotics as I’ve

not taken any other drugs that I’m aware of.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and the thoughts of the OS............. All this is

facinating to me.......... and strikes many chords as I persevere with rehab

of this previously fused hip of mine.............. He is quite right about

determination as I gather I am doing better than others simply because I am

persevering............i.e. they were well ahead of me with age and less

period of fusion ............ but determination can overcome a lot of

things..........

Funny all this is now driving me to consider getting trained as a water

rehab person.......... can only do anything in water because my body

wouldn't take the physical stress of on land............ But I figured I may

as well put the personal knowledge of dealing with rehab to good use and it

is a way to get a bit more normalacy back into my life. Where I live is

fairly isolated and doesn't have any of these services...........and I have

already gathered I would be most welcome to provide this............ Just

got to get the body strong enough to do the training myself etc............

and the rest of the arthritis under enough control to make it

bearable........... One of my fingers is very sore today and reminding me

that it isn't simple to solve this arthritis issue.......

I am sure you are right with the genetic anomaly............. My mother's

family all had difficulties with arthritis - though I still think it needs

something to trigger the whole issue off...........be that intense sports,

poor diet, accidents etc........ and yes it is sad that so many avid sports

people end up with a lot of joint problems. The good news is that young

ones like my son are busy studying this at uni and trying to set up training

programs for sports people to lessen the impact in later life..............

I think they know far more these days on how to prevent people like yourself

stressing parts too much when playing..............but sadly we have to live

with the lack of early knowledge.........

Hi, . My muscles got VERY tight before surgery. Among other things,

I had to use my hands to lift up my left leg to put it in the car (with the

rest of me!). The psoas muscle, I guess. The quads, hamstring, and

whatever that nasty little groin muscle is were beyond seized up -- they'd

lost any mind/body connection they had! Well, I exaggerate a bit. But it

was grim. I can now bound up stairs, mow grass, squat down, lift my left

knee up to my chest -- just cannot walk for any distance without spasms.

Frustrating. I'm moving to Maine (from KY) the first week in June and want

to be able to hike, swim, canoe, garden, continue training my dogs -- and

dance with abandon to Aretha lin. I'm working on it!~ Joyce

Here's another one I've been trying to send. Don'tcha just love upgrades!

-- Re:

Oh , you do have your hands full. Are you going to have help soon? You are really going to need it depending on how fast things go with your hubby. In our little village there is a minister who has been liked by most everyone in town. He too is fairly young and has parkinson's and alzheimers. It has been a sad thing to watch. Please use us as your sounding board any time.

Welll. the vacation is going fine. Anything would be fine as long as I don't have to deal with that office. Oh ya, got a call from them this morning. Geesh!!

I have been cleaning since Sat. a.m. Just finished up about an hour ago. This place was dirty. Hubby has been keeping is so that it looks ok but when I started to dust, oh well, let's just say men just don't see the dirt they way women do. (Sorry and others, no offense intended) The house looks good and smells good and I am sore and pleased.

Tomorrow I will probably work in my flower beds as long as it doesn't rain. I have golf tomorrow night and then Wed. we are taking off for Lake Michigan. Will travel up the lake until we get to the Little River Casino and we will be staying there Wed. night and Thur. night. There will be day trips and gambling at night. They also have a nice pool and hot tub (at least it is advertised).

Obviously I will not be here to help out for a few days. I will be thinking of all of you though. I would really like an update on Mike before I go. I am so worried about her. Also would like to hear what's up with Deanna.
