Health - 8 November 2006

I just found out my dad has Emphysema (he went into hospital after collapsing today). I'm not sure about this condition but I know it's to do with your lungs and he's smoked for many years (he's nearly 70). I just want to know if it's curable, if it's life threatening or terminal? The doctors are assessing him for a few days and I didn't get a chance to ask many questions. I would appreciate any professional advice even if it's bad news. Thanks.

I can eat lets say cereal in the morning till I am slightly full, but I am hungry shortly thereafter. Or like spaghetti with no meat, I feel full for a very short time.
I understand meat is protien that stays with you longer, but how do vegetarians do it?

I think I may be bald when I'm older; everytime I go for a shower I see hair on the floor and my hairline is receding slightly. Is baldness a big deal anyway? Any remedies to prevent it from happening? Do women find bald men a turn-off?

are there any decent places to rollerblade in downtown Orlando? The streets and sidewalks are crap. I know there are a couple parks, but any decent trails. And Lake Eola is off the list, no rollerblading allowed there.

I have not had any discharge today! which is weird because I usually get it really heavy... Any one who can tell me what is up will get an imaginary cookie. :-)

My dog went running after a squirrel and came back limping. Her paw and leg are undamaged. She pulled or strained a muscle in her chest. Is there something that I can rub on it to help it relax.
I only walk her when she has to go out and keep the walk short. She is active and alert and up to her usual antics but she limps and won't let me put any pressure on her chest where the muscle is. Any help would be appreciated.

I chipped a tiny piece of my front tooth with a coffee mug yesterday and although it's not very visible, I can feel the roughness.. is there anything I can do to smooth it down, short of going to the dentist? It's not bad enough for me to pay for the visit.

okay,I have a Cosmo mag with Brittany Murphy on the cover,on the interview Brittany says she hasn't lost a pound from her younger years as in Clueless,but that she only appears slimmer because her weight on her face slimmed down "within age"?Is this b.s. or true?

I am thinking about starting a weight lifting program, and I'm not sure how to determine how much weight to begin with. Also, do you increase weight per set or decrease?

than I was supposed to? Was supposed to start them again yesterday, after taking a week off, but I couldn't get to the pharmacy in time. I use Yasmin if that's important.
