Health - 9 May 2007

this afternoon I sat down and watched three squirrels eating popcorn. I watched in fascination and for about 30 minutes I forgot my life sucks. I found a tiny slice of happiness today. So I am wondering ; have we forgotten the pleasure and maybe even a little joy in the simplest of things even though watching squirrels is kind of stupid and ridiculous? does someone out there know what I mean?

My grandmother is extremely depressed. She is on a VA pension and they only allow 8 mental health visits before they cut you off. She cant afford a therapist otherwise.....she does nothing but lay around in bed ALL day...has NO friends.......doesnt even leave the house by herself. She totally isolates herself....i need to think of something constructive for her so she can get out and have a life!....any suggestions? (p.s.- she thinks the red hat society is stupid) LOL

ok, so i've been to like 4 doctors and had 6 blood tests taken, over 10 x-rays, a blood pool test, and a bone scan. No one seems to know what's wrong. My heel has white spots that keep disappearing and is swollen and has a little discoloration. My tendons are like tight and the physical theripyst is working them out, but there is something more than that. I am on a strong pain killer that is so strong you can only take it once a day and i still wake up at night from the pain! My ankle was swolled and discolored to start, then later it radiated up my leg. I had a very similar situation about 4 months ago. If you know of anything this could be, please help me. My grades are slipping and the pain is horrible. I can't walk, so i'm using crutches and they are having me wear a boot all day and night, but i can't even walk on my boot alone yet, the pain is too much. If you think you have an idea, please let me know ASAP, i just want this pain gone! Thanx!

I have extensive work done on this upper front tooth as a child and the root of this tooth is very wide. At the moment, I am getting decaying and smelly juice from this wobbly tooth. Saw my dentist today and he tried to removed it but failed. He is also worried that he may crack it if he force it out. At the same time, he told me to be prepared that my tooth may be already crack. He told me to wait for my crown to fall out and if it's just the screw, he'll be able to put it back but if not, I will have to get it extracted. I am feeling devastated as I do want to keep this front tooth of mine. Is it true that if a tooth is crack, there's no way of healing it ? If I really have to do an extraction, should I choose to have a bridge or an implant? Is there any where that I can do an x-ray that will show me if my tooth is cracked? I wonder if I should just tolerate the smelly tooth and wait for it to fall out? Please help!!!

I stopped drinking regular soda. Now I only drink diet and have noticed some weight coming off just from that alone. I know it is good to eat well balanced meals, but my problem is that I don't eat meat, I hate fruit, and the only vegetable that is tolerable to me is beans. If I eat meat, fruit, or vegetables I gag. I don't know if it's the texture or what, but how can I make this work?

I quit gymnastics 2 years ago after being in it for about 9 years. It got me in really good shape, but even 2 years after quitting, i still have most of the muscle mass on my legs that i did when i was training. I don't mind some muscle, but i just look incredibly out of preportion. I'm only 5'3" and i'm about a size 0-2 on the top, but then a size 8-10 on the bottom.

i've done just about everything i could think of to get it off: distance running, not working out, high rep weight lifting...all with little or no results. I've heard fasting can cause your body to use your muscle for energy, but i'm not willing to do that unless i know i won't just put a bunch of weight back on in fat.
