Feeling alright after Arthroplasty surgery yesterday. Wearing a cast for 12 wewe

4/28 Edited to

... Read moreHaving recently undergone arthroplasty surgery, I wanted to share some insights from my first day of recovery and wearing a cast for the next 12 weeks. Immediately after surgery, it's normal to experience soreness and limited mobility, but I was relieved to find that my pain was manageable with medication, and I felt surprisingly well overall. Wearing a cast for 12 weeks is essential in stabilizing the joint and supporting the healing process. It can feel restrictive at first, but it helps prevent complications and ensures that the replacement joint integrates properly. During this period, it's important to follow your surgeon's advice, keep the cast dry and clean, and avoid putting unnecessary weight on the limb. I’ve also found gentle movement and physical therapy to be valuable components of recovery once cleared by my doctor. Maintaining a positive mindset and staying patient through the gradual progress can make a significant difference. Support from family and friends also greatly aids emotional well-being during this time. Overall, my experience underscores the importance of diligent care after arthroplasty surgery, including wearing the cast as directed and following rehabilitation protocols. If you are preparing for or recovering from similar surgery, I hope my journey can offer some reassurance and practical tips.

I hated the way my nose looked for as long as I could remember. I was insecure most of my life and decided at 25 I wanted to have surgery. I had a septorhinoplasty to correct the cosmetic changes and my deviated septum (also turbinate reduction). This was my first major surgery and was surprised

A title slide for Mark Klimek Lecture #7, covering Thyroid (Hyper-, Hypo-), Adrenal Cortex (Addison Disease, Cushing), Toys, and Laminectomy. It also introduces hyperthyroidism as hypermetabolism with symptoms like weight loss and increased heart rate.
This slide discusses exophthalmos in Graves disease and three hyperthyroidism treatments: radioactive iodine (with safety precautions), PTU (Propylthiouracil) for cancer, and thyroidectomy. An illustration shows bulging eyes.
The slide details thyroidectomy as the most common treatment, distinguishing between total and subtotal. Total thyroidectomy requires lifelong hormone replacement and risks hypocalcemia, with symptoms like paresthesia, tetany, and Chvostek/Trousseau signs listed.
