The wait is over! I was very fortunate that I got MRI, X-rays, Ultra Sound, and an Orthopedic Surgeon appointment over a few weeks. My arthritis is quite advanced, but I do not have generalized pain in my knee; he is not recommending surgery now. Instead, exercise to strengthen the muscles around the knee. I [...]
I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and looking forward to a healthy, prosperous, significant problem-free New Year. Unfortunately, some of you, like myself, have had more than our fair share of illnesses, the death of loved ones, and other personal issues over the past few years but are bouncing back so well that [...]

I hope you are enjoying this lovely weather. It would appear that we have gone back to some form of new normal, but must remain vigilant with the new wave of COVID, which seems unending. As a nurse, I think I would not be bothered about wearing a mask, but I am over it. However, [...]
