Health - 19 March 2007

My two year old got her finger stuck in a car door. The ER doc refused to do xrays, but today when I took her to her regular doctor to look at it (its still swollen after 20 days) he took an xray and saw a little bone piece completely detatched from any other bone near the bottom of her finger an inch below where it was smashed. He sent the film to a specialist to see what to do. My question is- did the bone fragment travel there from the tip of her finger? Could it possibly be a real danger to her? How would something like this be fixed, or would it be left alone? What does all this mean? I'm kind of freaking out here I guess....

Being an office worker has its disadvantages. Exercising is out of question. plus there is a lot of eating outside...

My 79 year old grandmother went in to have a hysterectomy last Monday. She was in good health other than needing the hysterectomy due to her uterus dropping. She was given a bowel prep to do the night before. She started vommiting a couple of hours after drinking it and continued to vommit all night. When she arrived at the hospital for her surgery, she was still vomitting. The doctor told her he was going to go ahead with the surgery. During anaesthesia she vomitted and aspirated it into her lungs. The doctor says he put a "plug" in her throat that should have blocked the vommit and doesn't know why it didn't work. She is now on a ventilator and has pneumonia. She has been this way for a week. I know that this could have been prevented. I don't understand why the doctor went ahead and tried to do the surgery anyway. Also, if a medical person reads this, what are the chances of her comming off the ventilator?

I am trying to loose a about 100lbs, but I want to do it safely. So far I have lost about 10. I currently work out every day by walking on the treadmill for an hour. I vary the speed and incline to keep it difficult. I have also recently added a low-impact areobics class once a week. I know that I need to be lifting weights to help boost my metabolism but I am not sure about when to start. I read in one weightloss magazine not to until you are about 20-30lbs of your goal weight and then in another that I should start now. So I am really confused about when to start. And when I do start, do I do low weights and lots of reps or high weights with few reps. This is so confusing

I am dieting but like to have and occasional drink. Does anyone know how many calories are in a 2oz. Apple Martini? I love them but I don't want to blow a good week by drinking to many of them. And yes, I know I shouldn't be drinking them at all but I can't deny myself of everything!
