My 87 yr old grandmother fell and hurt her back. She has been basically bed ridden, on muscle relaxants and pain pills for the last 3 weeks. She has not had a bm since her fall, she is hospitalized and they are now going to disempact her manually. She has stage 4 kidney disease, osteoporosis, along with a few other problems. I was wondering what are the chances of recovering to the level she was at before the fall? She was very independant and could take care of herself. A few in the family seem to think once they get her to poop she will be back home and normal and able to function on her own. Are they giving her false hope? Are they just ignorant to the perils of being old. I just want to be informed so I know what to expect.

Ok, I am around 5'8"... 195 pounds... and I am 14 years old. I am DESPERATE to get to 145 by around Christmas, which i think is reasonable...that's 5 months away still (only 10 pounds a month). I'm trying to count my calories and fat grams.... my limits are 1450 and 28. The only thing holding me back is that because of my age my mom won't let me join a gym. She doesn't think I am too fat... well yea right! Anyway... is there anything I can do around the house that would be a good workout (sit-ups, stairs, things like that)? Also, do you think my limits on calories and fat grams are reasonable? Please give me any tips you can think of.

I am currently on Yaz and I don't like it, I feel like I have gained weight and my hair is coming out more than normal in the shower. It has NOT helped with my pms symptoms either. I need a new brand of birth control pill.

I am so confused, there are so many contradicting studies found on eggs. I love them and I think 4 eggwhites would be a good breakfast, is it safe and/or good for me nutritionally?? I mean, I'm just eating the whites, and the yolk is the "bad" part, right?

THANKS :)

I'm trying to prepare for a 5K. I'm in great physical shape with the exception of my lower back. Right after the first mile my lower back really tightens up. If my lower back doesn't tighten up, I'm in a great situation in terms of performance..

What do you think are the causes of this? What can I do to prevent this?

I've had this problem in high school and gave up cross country and tried to slowly build up but no matter what it tightens up

I've found myself in a vicious cycle - right now I'm in the insomnia part. I'm terribly sleepy, but as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm wide awake. No racing thoughts, no recent change in medications or stress level, I just lay there wide awake for hours waiting for sleep to come. I wake up 4-5 hours later, nowhere near rested, and again can't get to sleep that night. This goes on for 3-4 days, and then it reverses: I sleep 9 hours at night, stay up for 3-4 hours, take a nap, up again for 3-4 hours, and sleep all night - for 3-4 days.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? If yes, any suggestions for how to get myself on a regular schedule?

I can't take sleeping pills because of potential drug interaction with prescription meds.

I noticed my friends breasts seem to be rounder and fuller when she wears lower cut shirts... if you look, you can almost see the top of her bra, and its not even flat on her skin, almost like its standing up to give the impression of bigger breasts...
She came over to my house last Saturday and she was wearing a normal shirt that was nice fitting, but it didn't look like her breasts were that big at all!! This is just a sudden change and i need girls advice... Thanks!!

I don't expect free health care, yet I do deserve health care and have been refused by insurer"s because an ear infection that caused a hole in my eardrum. It's been repaired, it cost me $10,000 out of pocket with a "Private Pay Discount",Discount? I believe that health should be a thing everyone could have and that our government should be able to instruct the cash cow insurer's either to accept everyone for a fee. Or that the government (through our taxes should provide, even if taxes go up some) an "assurance" of health care to all people. I make close to $80,000 a year and can't be insured, crazy. The thought of being wheeled to the mourge because of no insurance before my time, or having my organs donated when I could be healed(more cost effective for the hospitals and doctors) is pure terrorisiom! How about the "War on that Terrorism?"
