Although who knows, maybe she's doing that magical Kindle Fire thing from the Left Coast.)<br /><br />There used to be a joke or urban legend or something, to the effect that cows in Switzerland had had to be specially bred in order to have legs on one side shorter than the ones on the other... because how else could they possibly graze on those Alpine slopes without falling and rolling downhill? In all your accounts of the after-effects of the perforation, I could never quite understand how you'd ended up with a shorter leg. I mean, you're <em>you</em>, so if you said it was then I didn't doubt that it must be so (not really). All I could imagine was that some combination of reworked innards was causing you to keep one foot higher, by bending to one side at the waist. But I could never quite... uh... hobble a mile in your Converse, y'know? I just had to take it on faith.<br /><br />So apparently, it turns out to depend on how you define "leg." The leg-as-limb was geometrically the same -- length, breadth, all that. (The BONES weren't any shorter.) But the leg-as-functional-device -- as <em>used</em> -- was simply (convincingly, perversely) mimicking the behavior of a physically shorter limb...JEShttp://johnesimpson.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-7316778903241542532012-02-07T08:39:04.546-07:002012-02-07T08:39:04.546-07:00Yes, indeed!

Real doctors that aren't trying to get you to more surgery or buy more products. I've never had a doctor tell me to just use inserts in my shoes and that will help my hip. Instead, I've been told you have to have PT and maybe cortisone shots. I have found with me exercising more the past four weeks, my hip actually isn't hurting as much. Who would have thought that would actually help? <br /><br />I'm glad you saw these other specialists. It's always good to get other opinions--and these sound like some of the best experts in the country.<br /><br />Have a great day. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
