Re: Acetubular Hip Dysplasia
She may want to look into hip resurfacing rather than hip replacement. There have been a couple threads on that here (including my own). Resurfacing has the advantage of leaving the femur more or...

Re: Reaction Balls for agility
I've got one and have used it in the past -- definitely challenging. I don't know whether there is science that supports the idea that using one "improves" reaction time, but if it's fun and there's...

Re: Heard in the Office Today
The best part of joint operations with Canadian and Australian ships was being invited to their wardroom for "operational planning" -- except for the even better post-op "review."

Re: sleep apnea?
If you truly cannot tolerate a CPAP, most insurers will (after a fight) pay for a dental appliance. There are several varieties available. One is the Silent Nite appliance. Essentially, it pulls...

Re: How Tough are You?
When I was in the Navy, my best friend was a guy who had been a damage controllman in an aircraft carrier on Yankee Station off the coast of North Vietnam. In addition to having to fight a humongous...

Re: Distal clavical excision?
I don't know what kind of demands the fire academy will place on you. I do know that I was able to pick up some fairly heavy boxes within a couple weeks. The doctor never found out about that,...

Re: Distal clavical excision?
I had that surgery. (FYI, I seem to be a poster child for virtually every form of orthopedic surgery -- not that I wanted to be.)
It's been quite a while, but as I recall it was one of the...

Re: Paleo for dogs!
COOKED bones are bad for dogs because they splinter when they break -- raw bones break into small chunks instead.

Re: question on rowing

Re: weird foot lump appeared
For what it's worth, I had a similar thing happen many years ago. It was diagnosed as a ganglionic cyst. I tended to pull the top laces on my running shoes pretty tight, and the cyst was right...
