Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Wisher1000]

I had a rotator cuff injury several years ago, and simply turning over in bed could cause pain that would take my breath away. Keeping your range of motion is important. Time has been the only thing which worked. It took over two years.

Oh, Cat, that is not good news, I never dreamed it could take that long! Yes, turning over in bed is an adventure. So is having your son practice his right hook into your palm. He didn't mean to hurt me but I think it was worse than childbirth! I am starting to wonder if it will ever be right. Do you have all the strength in it now that you had before the injury?

I've had a lot of PT over the years from injuries. THe work PT's do is very specific to increase mobility, with some pain, but the level of pain is important for the PT to monitor so that there is progress but not more damage. I've had an ACL fixed via PT only; and my shoulders were so loose I was pulling the ball almost out of the socket which caused damage and pain to the ligaments. 2 months of PT and I'm good--I still do many of the exercises as I will always be prone to this problem. Another time I had a smashed wrist with frozen ligaments. I had a special machine to force the stretching of the ligamants--take 2 percoset and 30 minutes later start cranking. IN this case PT did not work and a specialist cut the ligaments very carefully.

Do the PT. You will get plenty of exercises to do at home and I'm sure you will get it done.

Thanks for the encouragement, Arielle. I plan to give this med and the exercises a bit more time. If it is not noticably better in a couple of weeks (after this Hatch-a-long) I will go back and see what the doctor thinks. Should I try to keep pushing my hand out a little till then or let it get stiff?

THis new show said brain fuction is improved too. HE called alzheimers' Diabetes III. Now that's a wake up call!! THe best part it is preventable and simply changing the diet NOW makes a huge difference.

Sorry for the rant. I'm a carb addict and I've had to change my life without the support of the doctors, which are still anti fat and high carb promoters. My life has improved tremendously since giving up breads, sugars, and high starch vegetables.

My DW is a type II diabetic. She has an app on her Droid phone that tracks calories. Last week the App told her she was not eating enough carbs and was eating too much protein. Her cabs were over 40% and the App said she needed to be over 50% carbs...for a Diabetic...Her protein was 23%. I told her she needed more protein, less carbs and more good fat. She checked some more sources and agreed with me. That is the kind of bad information people are getting. My DW went to a nutrition class for Diabetics--turns out the class was focused on how to get insurance to pay for Gastric Bypass surgery

So many Doctors only treat the symptoms instead of treating the cause. And ByPass surgery is SOOOO NOT GOOD FOR YOU! Yes you loose weight, but it has many side effects most of which lead to further complications.

Did you know that a little fat (2 TBS/Day) is GOOD for your Gallbladder?


Diddo> MIL lost her gall bladder to a surgeon because of gall stones. Not enough fat in the diet to expel the bile, so the salts started to clump together forming stones. Fats have many good uses, including insulating our nerves. ANd building our brain in the growing years.

I'm a nervous wreck and dog tired from too many sleepless nights by the time my mares foal.

Both excellent examples of "mare stare"

Staying up (or getting up every 1/2 hour) staring at the mare till you look kinda like this:

I DID feel like I had a MAJOR hangover the next day and I hadn't touched a drop!!!

Emotional hangover, all the ups and downs of foal watch can do it to you every time.

Boy this is what I felt like!!! ANd I only rolled over to check the TV monitor to see what the mare was doing a dozen times a night!


Very True, the Inuit People lived on meat and fat, very little vegetation, because that was all there was available to them. Those that still eat traditionally are not obese, even though whale blubber and seal oil are a main part of their menu, used in many dishes. Those who live "a more civilized" lifestyle (ie. live in cities and eat commercial foods) have obesity rates that are through the roof. Their systems literally can NOT handle carbs.


I once asked a stent surgeon about the value of low carb, fat and meat type diet, using the Inuit people as an example of healthy eating, and he replied that they are fat now. BU-da-dump. End of subject. Doctors don't get paid if we don't get sick! THe best part is that we can prevent and eliminate type II diabetes for most people. THe treatment is a little tougher than popping a pill though . . . reduce most carbs and eliminate all the refined carbs.

We could be saving huge numbers of medical dollars if we ate well. ANd excercised a little more. (I may be preaching to the choir here! We are all outdoors doing chores much of the time!!)

TOTALS....................................................... 23 in the can, 51 remain.

To be fair, the eggs from Maryland were shipped the furthest... That said, I've hatched many of Kathy's eggs in the past and have always had
more than 50% after first candle. This is a first. I'd have to guess that there is a problem in the Sumatra pen... maybe it's just not warm enough yet.

I usually have about 30% not hatch after first candle so I'm expecting about 29 to 35 chicks. I'll be happy.

 

[rarely bored]

If anyone reads this and isn't exhausted with reading... I just put a picture of a chick from the New Year's Day hatch onto the What breed or Gender forum. The bird in question is a olive egger (well, he came from an olive egg) from BHep, I would like opinions on gender. The thread is titled: 12 week OE. thanks

Ligaments--if you don't use them you lose them. THey are like rubberbands and you need to stretch them regularly. It's a balancing act when they are injured. My wrist ligaments froze up because a orthopedist immobilized the wrist , WRONG TREATMENT, but he got paid. And the wrist specialist cut 5 ligaments in a special way to improve the mobility.

Knowing what I know now? Get the proper treatment immediately. Ligaments are not like bones. I have had plenty of broken bones. I'll take a break over ligament damage every time. Ligaments take a long , long time to heal. Between the smashed wrist and ligament surgery--three years to heal to 98%. THe final step was to eat well and eliminate high carb foods and sugars to eliminate the joint inflammation.

Oh Mahonri...I just have to chuckle... Did anyone else read about 10 times... "I will not candle until Tuesday?" Busy smizzy..... your susceptible just like the rest of us! LMBSO!
Ok...now I had two questions if I can remember them....
Several posts about icelandics typically hatching early...This is my first time with icelandics...how early is early?
other question...other question...dang..what was it...GAHHHHH Senior moment...Better go look for my keys now, someone remind me where I put them after I find them.

I seem to have about the same amount of strength in the arm/shoulder, but endurance is definitely lower. That could also be due to fibromyalgia, which I was diagnosed with (finally) over a decade ago, after a lifetime of symptoms. The shoulder is easier to re-injure now, as well. When that happens, I give it a round of RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) with some judicial movement to keep from seizing up. I have to remind myself to take it easy, but keep moving. Definitely difficult when it feels as if someone is twisting an ice pick in the joint! And remember, going too fast can make recovery take longer. I hope you get better, quickly.

Speaking of wrists and ligaments...anyone seen wolftracks lately?

Ligaments--if you don't use them you lose them. THey are like rubberbands and you need to stretch them regularly. It's a balancing act when they are injured.

I saw it at the drive-in when it was released. Are there even very many drive-ins still around?

Deb

There is a drive-in up here in Montana close to Butte. My family and I make it a point to go a couple of times each year. I hope it sticks around for a long long time. It is busy all summer.
