Medscape might have something as well, but you'll have to register. 6178. Magoseph - 6/23/2004 10:14:34 PM Thanks very much, wabbit, for the info, I registered in Medscape. 6179. judithathome - 6/23/2004 11:03:20 PM Rick, adorable baby! 6180. wonkers2 - 6/24/2004 12:15:04 AM Congrats, Rick! Where do I pick up my cigar? 6181. thoughtful - 6/24/2004 2:35:02 AM How cute! Congratulations to the Nelson family! (What? You didn't name him Ozzie?!?)
;-) 6182. RickNelson - 6/24/2004 11:26:36 AM Thanks everyone, we're working on his homecoming this weekend. It's momentous owing to his early status. But, he's passed so many hurdles that we're spending a couple nights with him in the hospital's family bedroom. This gives us time to transition to his preemie needs. We're very excited.

I am sure all Moties would like to see how Jacob is doing. If you are so inclined and have any extra! time you can reach me at nurseisin@yahoo.com I could not be happier for you, Rick. 6185. thoughtful - 7/1/2004 4:32:14 AM hey msgreer...best regards to you...miss having you around these thar threads. 6186. judithathome - 7/1/2004 5:20:20 AM Hey, MsGreer...great to see you! Pop in more often and let us know how you're doing!
Thoughtful, it's strange but my knee is doing great; not giving me many problems at all. I think it's mainly due to the steroid shot I got several months ago but also to my physical therapy. My extention in that knee has improved from a minus 20 to a minus 3! And lucky for me it has because I couldn't do these exercises otherwise. 6187. thoughtful - 7/1/2004 5:21:06 AM Glad to hear the good news, j@h
6188. msgreer - 7/1/2004 8:37:34 PM Hi Judith and thoughtful I'm not so sure my life is that exciting at the moment but I will do my best to come back more often. Judith What did you do to your knee? We probably could share joint and muscle ailment stories. Aging. It stinks. But I have found if I keep moving my aches and pains are better. It's a good thing I love working out! Walking, Pilates, yoga, balancing ball, resistance bands, and free weights. I keep quite a schedule but I love every minute of it. Think of me at 4am because that is when I start my daily workouts. Also I have found 20 minutes of stretching and yoga before bedtime helps keep the muscle aches away when I get up in the AM. Some have said in another life I must have been an exercise physiologist! 6189. wabbit - 7/1/2004 9:21:12 PM Hey msgreer, nice to see you! 6190. msgreer - 7/1/2004 9:41:07 PM Hey wabbit I was just in your neck of the woods. My daughter is doing so well. After a very difficult year she seems to have come out of it with such strength and a strong feeling of self-esteem. You will get a good laugh with this one...she won an award this year at Family Day...best self-advocate of the year! She is her mother's daughter. I am thrilled for her. I know there will always be difficult times for her but to see her get this award was thrilling. Also she did the 20 miles Hyannis Port Challenge race a few weeks back and was the first tandem bike rider(s) over the finish line. Then she attended a BBQ at the Kennedy home in Hyannis, got a great massage, a goodie bag from Special Olympics (which is not no goodie bag I have ever gotten) and a night at a local hotel with a hot tub for her aching muscles and a heated pool. Tuesday night she was in town to see MammieMia..did I spell that correctly? She and a staff took the T in for the play and had what she described as a "fantastic dinner". Chinese..one of her favorites. She also has tickets to Lion King..lucky girl. 6191. msgreer - 7/1/2004 9:42:40 PM CORRECTION!..the goodie bag was not like any goodie bag I ever got for a charity walk! 6192. KuligintheHooligan - 7/2/2004 10:44:56 AM "Historically, the practice of medicine has been based on an understanding of male anatomy. Women's health was an early, pressing concern of the feminist movement, and in the past decade, lesbians have organized to focus attention on their own specific health needs. Lesbians are less likely to seek health care (especially gynecological exams) than other women, and they are at higher risk for breast, cervical and ovarian cancers because they are less likely to have children by age 30. A 1999 study by the National Academy of Science concluded that extensive research into lesbian health is still desperately needed."
I didn't know this. Why would the various cancers found in women be higher if they haven't borne children yet by age 30? 6193. alistairConnor - 7/4/2004 7:50:21 PM Obvious. It's punishment for not having children like god intended. 6194. KuligintheHooligan - 7/5/2004 4:47:51 AM Sarcasm aside, alistair, my question still remains a medical question. 6195. Absensia - 7/5/2004 6:58:06 AM Kulligan, do you have a site for the material you quoted? 6196. alistairConnor - 7/5/2004 10:07:02 PM I'm not being entirely sarcastic. A woman's body has a number of major design compromises, from a physiological point of view, to enable childbearing. I guess it's the same from a biochemical standpoint. The process involves huge fluxes of hormones, for example, and it seems plausible to me that the absence of such by age 30 could provoke problems in the reproductive apparatus.
