    I ll be absent next week

    I ll be absent next week ( in case I am able to do the surgical tests). Its NOT my idea to gain attention or something similar; but I will be having a surgery in one of my knees ( which has lots of deffects, some said to be genetic ). The scientific name of it is lateral deviation of patellas .

    This MD ( medical doctor) specializes in knees. He has already cured me my right patella which had been broken into 3 pieces while playing rugby ( he did a hell of a good job).

    Even though I might not be posting my usual useless data I will be thinking about you guys and will have the 3 machines as usual causing as much trouble to cancer and aids

    My best regards
    J

    PS: in case I die just tell MM and DDT to do get proper computers :P

    holy smokes! I didnt really expect so many replies :O. Thanks you guys!

    About the meds: docs round here dont generally give powerful oral stuff ( just the retgular NSAIDs). This will be my 4th surgery : two from a car accident in which an old fashioned seat belt indirectly produced what traumathologists call seatbelt fracture and one in which I broke my patella into 3 pieces ( quite painful).
    The scars I ve got in my body arent that nice but I guess they are not that important ( one in the middle of my back , another one in my buttocks ( they had to use a piece of my own coxal bone to held the vertebrae solder properly).

    As some of you may know when pain is tough not even morphine makes you feel relieved. I hope this time comes a tad lighter than previous ones!

    what I meant is that the central point ( of the patella) is not aligned/placed where it should be. When the femoral quadriceps is contracted it takes the patella away of this mentioned axis/central point

    thanks boss

    OT: the machine I assembled is quite unstable : overheating is not a plausible factor as I have it on stock in a 17ºC room on stock. should I check the memory settings??

    Like we know all those medical terms?
    Actually I do understand..mostly
    As to the machine, set to stock, then move slowly up until unstable then back off 300mhz..

    Have you been doing seated static contractions of the femoral quadriceps for physiotherapy? Many cases are due to little more than a strength imbalance between the vastus medialis and the vastus lateralis. (Of course I do not know about your specific situation)

    In 1999, a more experienced and somewhat under-rated Argentina made it to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time. They had finished second in their group to Wales, and went onto the quarter-final play-offs. After a vibrant 28-24 win against Ireland, they were eliminated by France, 28-47, in the quarter-final. Gonzalo Quesada was the highest overall points scorer in the tournament with 102.

    I will try those tricks, thanks boss

    about the medical terms : I was not trying to sound arrogant, just to provide as much data as possible
