what wasnt being said in the poly poolverine storyline??? youve got me so hooked on this one

Enjoy a smut

"So, Angel baby," Wade demanded when you settled on the couch, "make with the details. What'd they say?"

You take a drink and a deep breath and Logan trades looks with Wade behind your head as they take seats on either side of you. "Well. My brain is still there, so that's good news."

"But," Logan prompted, feeling his stomach sink unpleasantly.

"But," you sigh, "they're going to try some new meds and if that doesn't work surgery IF I'm even a candidate for it. But IF they do that the recovery time is a beast and so is the therapy and-"

"We'll figure it out," Wade said.

You shake your head, "I don't expect you to-"

"Shut up," Logan said without any real heat, dropping an arm around your shoulders.

"And," you sigh, "there's still the risk that it could leave me worse off than I am now."

"We'll figure it all out," Wade said, kissing the side of your head.

"I still understand if-"

"Shut up," they tell you in unison.

Wade grabbed your chin and licked into your mouth, cutting off anything else you could say as he kissed you. His usual gentleness replaced with something like desperation. Days of pent up anxieties that had been gnawing at him bubbling up. And on your other side, Logan isn't about to be left out. Taking advantage of the exposed, tender skin on your neck to make his own feelings about it known. Scraping the flesh with his teeth. Making you whimper

"Aw hell no," Althea muttered, "Not this shit again."

You try to pull away from Wade to stammer an apology but Wade keeps hold of your hair and nips at your lip possessively, grinning when you close your eyes and shiver. "Poor neglected angel baby," he cooed, "Look at her, Peanut-"

The Apartment door slammed with Althea's exit and Logan's only response was to carefully shred your shirt. Leaving you in a bralette and your jeans on the couch. Exposing left over bits of adhesive and the bruises on your arms from blood draws and IVs. And he growls possessively. Burrying his face in your breasts and nuzzling briefly before he knelt in front of you and pushed your knees apart. Kissing the bruises on your arms.

"Good girl," Wade said, pulling off his shirt, "Just relax. Think you can take us today, huh?"

"Want to," you whine, letting your head loll back. "Missed my boys."

"You can do it, Princess," Logan growled, unbuttoning your jeans and trailing soft kisses down your stomach.

"He's so soft for you, baby," Wade purred. "Got us both so owned we're stupid. Not goin' anywhere, 'kay?"

"I just don't want you to have to take care of me," you protest, going tense.

Logan grumbled and pulled your jeans and panties down, leaving you exposed you him, and sank his teeth into your thigh. Sharply enough that you cried out, and he licked tenderly at the bite to soothe it. "Ours," he grunted.

"God that's fuckin' hot-"

"Wade," you whine. It's hard to focus. It's hard to think. It's hard to do anything except WANT when they're touching you like this. And when Logan smirks up at you, teasing your folds with just the pad of his index finger, almost lazily- you can only whimper.

"Angel baby," Wade crooned, "what's the matter, huh? You wanna play too?" He shimmied out of his pants and let his cock spring free, "Come to papa. Let's give you something to do, huh?"

And you do, licking at his tip to tease him. Satisfied when you feel his hands in your hair to stroke it. "That's it, Sweetie. Feels better, hu- Fuuuck. Yes. You know what I- Shit."

"Good girl," Logan growled. Giving you a little more now that you're starting to relax some. Losing yourself like you need to- to not think so much. To not worry so much. And your answering muffled mewl is like music to his ears. "That's it, kid. Gonna put two inside you, kay?" Better Music to his ears s that Wade is helpless in your capable hands. All he can do is sing your praises and try not to fuck your face.

Logan could sympathize- You had some super fucking human blowjob skills and he was willing to bet if Wade so much as twitched he was gonna lose it. But- there were rules. And when you were with them, they'd both agreed "Ladies First" was the first rule. It wasn't going to be fair if you hurt yourself and had to tap out before you got to come. They learned that the hard way.

He kept working you and kept at it, slow and steady. Enjoying the steady cresendo of your release. And when you did come, moaning incoherently around Wade's cock, his breathless little scream made Logan grin as he watched his other lover spatter come down your chest- careful not to get it on your face or in your hair.

"Christ," he panted, "What is this Prom night?"

Logan smirked and kissed you before he kissed Wade, "What's the matter, bub, she get the best of ya?"

"It's the fucking tongue thing. Every time- succubus." He pouted and leaned down to kiss you, wiping come off you with his discarded shirt, "Did you have a gay boyfriend or something? Fuck."

You snort, "If you learn to suck dick, suddenly boys don't care as much if you don't really want to fuck."

"Only because they don't know how to fuck," Logan growled, rubbing your hips.

"Such a DILF thing to say," Wade said, leaning over to kiss Logan, "as soon as I can feel my legs again-"

"As soon as you can feel your fucking legs, you pussy," he said, smirking, "you're sucking my dick while she sits on my face."

"So bossy," Wade pouted, "Guess I gotta get my kisses in now huh? Since Logi-bear decided he wants to be Daddy today."

Operation: Knee Recovery

For over a year, my wife has been working hard to get treatment for her osteoarthritis in her knees. For a while it was manageable, but in the last few months it’s taken a turn for the worse. She’s been mostly house bound since Thanksgiving. Up until now insurance has been good to us, but the procedure she needs next is not being covered.

It’s called “cryoneurolysis”, a procedure to kill the nerves of the knee, typically used as a last resort before knee replacement surgery. We already paid out of pocket for one knee and the pain relief has been fantastic, but we need help for the other one.

This procedure won’t last forever, and she’ll definitely need knee replacement surgery down the road. We’re hoping this procedure will get her back on her feet and buy us enough time to get her into a healthier, more fit position for surgery with less risk of infection.

We’re also hopeful that she can return to her work after this, and with a double income again we can seriously consider moving to a first floor apartment, which would be so much better than the three flights of stairs she currently has to use.

Any help would be immensely appreciated, even if it’s just a reblog. Thank you. 💖

Michael Afton designs. Cause- I can ✌️ also apologies on any mess-ups to the games. I don't really care about the new stuff tbh, haven't been in this Fandom for years, am relying on theory videos- and headcannons. So yeah, cool Afton designs is what I mean.

1st design- Teenage design. I don't have a very inparticular age? But around 14-16. Also- he's very mature for his age, and is one of those guys that are like "wtf? How are you not an adult?" But, I headcannon he was actually the one who you play as in FNAF 4. I heard it from my sibling- and loved the damn idea that it was his own nightmares because of what happened to his brother- especially given the context of the game. William basically left him since he hated him, and was forced into a hell like FNAF 4. Also in the bottom image- he's supposed to look ghost like. Never goes outside, stays in his room an anxious mess.

Design 2- (I meant Fredbear in the art lol.) Anyway, this design is supposed to look like William around the time of the bite of 83' but ofc ofc still Michael. Michael is okay. But, this is the extra night of FNAF 2 when the main security guard leaves to be the next victim of the biting season. This is where he starts to get extremely guilty again, and where he builds his obsession to the opening FNAF restaurants to try and fix his past, to fix what his father did, and to try and redeem himself. In this era he also begins frequently writing letters to his brother, as if he could see them. Because he sincerely wants to make things right.

Designs 3- Fnaf 1 and sister location era. All before the scoop. For FNAF 1, he wears a simular outfit to FNAF 2- Just a more purplish- shade of blue. He's also growing his hair out- trying to look less like his father, due to his pure resentment. He is succeeding a little more now. Though, in sister location he wears a purple uniform, and ends up in a simular look that his father was so generously killing kids in (other than suit. Michael doesn't look like a bunny thing, sorry guys.) Also fun little fact, he joins these jobs to redeem himself- but is scared shitless of animatronics.

DISTURBING IMAGERY AHEAD. BODY HORROR!!

Design 4- Basic idea of half a year or so of recovery. After lots of surgeries and medical attention, he looks a little better. He still has some wire in his body, mainly in parts that were very attached to his body (just ripped off of Ennard) and was left behind in places that keep his body together. (Wire runs along his stomach/chest and skin attaches there to keep him closed. Wire replaces his knee so he can still walk, and other wire was just pulled. Lots of scar tissue is present where any stitches are, or any places Ennard poked out from/entered from. His eyes were popped out by Ennard, leaving him blind and more or less with no "pupil." He is also able to grow very thin hair, but it falls out and is rather short.

Design 5- You can steal Michael's hair. He wears a wig that was the same colour as his past hair, and wears that whenever he is out/working. He wears a lot of looser clothes to avoid skin irritation- considering his skin falls off easily (also wears a ton of bandages around his body to prevent this.) In public he adds a mask to his look, some of his face being ripped up. Due to his look and practically dead body, he is unable to age normally. He'll have a simular appearance the rest of his life, maybe with a few more wrinkles and a load of weakness. Now, he is starting to move on. He's still extremely sorry, but he writes letters to Evan everyday. He also visits his grave, bringing the fredbear plush Evan had. Ofc he still wants revenge, but is more at peace about his brother. (He still hates his father. Badly.)

Had my revision from a partial to a total knee replacement yesterday. I was really nervous about it because I know what’s ahead of me, but I just have to say that I’m so happy I did this. My surgeon told me that since my arthroscope and partial meniscectomy in May (my cartilage on the inside near my implant disintegrated, making a TKR a necessity) the rest of my cartilage on the other side has completely crumbled and my implant, which was in great shape 7 months okay, was starting to fall apart. No wonder I hurt so bad the last few months.

My partial recovery was terrible compared to this. It took me weeks of intense physical therapy to even get my quad to fire enough to raise my leg an inch off the bed. Right now, 22 hours after surgery, I can raise my leg all the way up unassisted, I can walk heel to toe, march in place, shift my weight, and balance from one leg to the other, and my ROM is seriously like 95° already. My pt had to help me get that far the last time and I was in tears the entire time. I’m pumped to start PT this week and show her how far I’ve come already and get my recovery started so that I can have my mobility and my life back!!

On top of that, my sweet, extremely awesome husband decided to make our bedroom completely ”accessible” to aid in my recovery process. He got the whole thing done while I was in surgery, and he’s working on our on-suite bathroom today so that I don’t have to back in backwards with the walker in our main bathroom (the on-suite is too small to get a walker in there).

Thanks for all the support you guys have given me, and the kind words, thoughts, and prayers you sent when I freaked out and had second thoughts. This has been so worth it.

Life Updates

With the U-KISS Comeback, I've had a few PMs here and on Facebook asking if I, too, will be making a comeback.

The short answer is no, I have no plans to resume writing fan fiction. That's not to say I never will, but it's not in the books right now.

For a longer answer, I'll go ahead and give you guys a life update. Under a cut, of course, to save everyone's sanity.

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I am an incredibly laid back, happy person. I go with the flow, don't get irritated or upset, and have an easy time handling problems when they arise.

That being said, there is one thing that pisses me off like nothing else: people who try to tell me what I am or am not capable of doing. And yes, when people do that, I can also hold a grudge.

Five years ago, my ex walked out on me twelve days after I had major abdominal surgery, when I couldn't even lift a gallon of milk or take care of myself properly. Before she did, she made a few statements that really got to me. She said that autistics can only have jobs, not careers. I was told that I should be grateful that I could find retail work that paid $15 an hour, because that was all I was worth since I didn't have a college degree. And I was also told that I should count my self very lucky that I had someone to "help out" financially.

To add to this, my doctors had told me that I would never run a mile, couldn't lift weights, and would never be able to leave the house without having an inhaler in my purse or pocket because to do so would be risking death.

When I say that I hold a grudge, I think what I really mean is that when people tell me shit like that, I tend to do everything I can to prove them dead wrong.

So, over the last five years, I have built a strong and successful career. I have become a recognized expert in my field, with a great reputation. I went from making $15 an hour to making well into the six figures. I traded in my tiny rented room in New York for a big, beautiful house in an upscale neighborhood in Nashville. The junker I was driving that would occasionally die at the worst times was sold off and replaced with a new SUV with all the bells and whistles.

And to top it all off, I got myself to a point where I was running five miles every morning and didn't have a second thought about my asthma.

I fixed everything but my severe trust issues.

Two years ago, I met a guy named Mike. We had a lot in common: he works in tech, loves dogs, loves movies, and is a craft beer enthusiast. Great. But I wasn't sure I wanted a relationship at all, as I had been determinedly single and had worked hard to keep myself from getting too close to anyone.

Four months after I met Mike, I got some bad news. My doctor informed me that I needed knee surgery. The surgery was explained to me as a very simple procedure that would take an hour. I'd be able to use crutches for the first three or four days, then I'd be back to full function within two weeks. No big deal.

When I went in for the surgery, I expected Mike to help me back home and help me out the next day, as he had offered. But nothing beyond that.

And then the surgery went very wrong. The procedure that was supposed to take an hour wound up taking half a day. Instead of the minor repair I was told about, the surgeon wound up basically having to rebuild my knee. He described it as the worst damage he had ever seen that wasn't from a single, traumatic incident like machinery accidents.

The recovery I was looking at was this: fourteen weeks before I could put any weight on my left leg whatsoever, six more weeks with severe restrictions and crutches, and very extensive recovery time. My knee still isn't back to full function.

With that kind of a medical situation, I expected Mike to take me home, help me get set up, then maybe call one of my friends to come help me out. After all, he'd only been dating me for about four months, and that was not at all what he had signed up for.

When they released me from the hospital, Mike drove me home and got me settled. He then left... and drove to his house, packed up a large suitcase, grabbed his dog, and moved into my house for the duration of my recovery.

If you'd like to know how to earn someone's trust, that'll do it.

In a little over three weeks, Mike and I are flying to Charleston, where we will be exchanging vows in a public park while surrounded by family. We have a very good life, and right now it is very full with work, wedding stuff, trying to get back into running, and talk of starting a family soon.

I do still occasionally write, but it's almost entirely original fiction. When I do get hit with a wave of nostalgia, I go through and poke at old fan fiction to make some edits and wonder why I stopped writing. But I no longer feel the pleasure and enjoyment that I used to while writing.

I'll leave this for now. Maybe someday I'll be back. Maybe I won't.

In the meantime, if anyone needs to get a hold of me, just shoot me a note. Cheers.

How soon can I return to work after knee replacement surgery?

Returning to work after knee replacement surgery depends on several factors, including the type of job you have, your recovery progress, and your overall health. While the recovery timeline can vary from person to person, there are general guidelines that can help you understand what to expect.

For most patients, knee replacement surgery requires a period of rest and rehabilitation to ensure proper healing and restore mobility. Typically, patients can expect to be off work for 6 to 12 weeks after surgery. However, the type of work you do will influence when it’s safe to return:

Sedentary Jobs: If your work involves sitting at a desk or using a computer, you may be able to return to work sooner—typically 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. You’ll still need to manage pain and swelling, and it’s important to take breaks and adjust your workspace to accommodate your recovery.

Physical Jobs: If your job involves physical labor, such as lifting, bending, or standing for long periods, returning to work will likely take longer—usually 12 weeks or more. Your body will need more time to heal, and your knee needs to regain strength and flexibility to handle physical demands.

During the recovery period, your knee replacement surgeon will work with you to develop a rehabilitation plan that includes physical therapy to restore range of motion and strength. By following your surgeon’s recommendations and attending therapy, you’ll help ensure that you’re physically prepared to return to work safely.

It's essential to listen to your body and consult your knee replacement surgeon before returning to work. Rushing back too soon can lead to complications and extend your recovery time. Your surgeon can provide personalized advice based on your job type and progress.

Canine Knee Braces: Your Pup’s Secret Weapon for Recovery

It all started with a Saturday morning hike. Bella, my lively golden retriever, bounded through the woods like she always did—full of energy and mischief. But then it happened—a yelp, followed by a limp. My heart sank as I realized something was wrong. After a trip to the vet, the diagnosis was clear: Bella had torn her cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), similar to the ACL in humans. The vet recommended surgery, but also mentioned an option I hadn’t considered: a dog knee brace.

If you’re like me, you might not have realized just how common knee injuries are for dogs, especially active breeds. In fact, over 85% of dogs with CCL injuries will face similar issues in the opposite leg within two years if untreated . But here’s the good news: a dog knee brace can be a game-changer for recovery, pain relief, and even avoiding surgery.

Understanding How Dog Knee Braces Work

A dog knee brace is designed to stabilize the knee joint, especially in cases of ligament damage or arthritis. For dogs suffering from conditions like a luxating patella (a kneecap that dislocates) or CCL tears, braces help support the joint, allowing for better mobility and reduced pain. Think of it as a knee brace for athletes: it minimizes strain on the injured leg while promoting healing.

Braces are typically custom-made or adjustable, fitting snugly around your dog’s leg to limit unnecessary movement. What many pet owners don’t realize is that these braces don’t just help injured dogs; they also play a preventative role. Active dogs, senior pets, or even dogs prone to joint issues can benefit from a knee brace before injury strikes.

Why Choose a Dog Knee Brace Over Surgery?

You might be wondering if a dog brace is a substitute for surgery. While braces are incredibly effective, they aren't always a complete replacement for surgical intervention. However, for many dogs—especially older pets who might not tolerate surgery well—knee braces offer a less invasive, lower-cost solution.

What’s more, about 50% of dogs with CCL tears can recover without surgery when given proper rest, physical therapy, and the right support system, including a knee brace . For owners concerned about the risk of anesthesia, cost, or recovery time, opting for a brace can be a much more appealing choice.

Lesser-Known Benefits of Dog Knee Braces

Beyond the obvious advantages of pain relief and improved mobility, there are a few benefits of dog knee braces that many owners may not be aware of:

Joint Preservation: A brace redistributes weight across your dog’s legs, reducing the wear and tear on the injured joint. This slows down the progression of arthritis and other degenerative conditions.

Support for Dogs with Chronic Conditions: If your dog suffers from chronic arthritis or dysplasia, a brace can provide ongoing support. This is crucial for dogs who are otherwise healthy but experiencing joint degeneration.

Faster Recovery Post-Surgery: If surgery is the best option for your dog, using a brace post-operation can speed up recovery. By stabilizing the leg, the brace minimizes strain on the healing joint, helping your dog regain mobility more quickly.

Choosing the Right Knee Brace for Your Dog

When selecting a knee brace, it’s important to consult with your veterinarian to ensure you’re choosing the right fit. There are several types of braces on the market, including custom-fitted braces (made to your dog’s exact measurements) and off-the-shelf adjustable braces. Both options are effective, but a custom brace may offer better comfort and stability.

Make sure to look for features like soft padding, durable materials, and ease of cleaning—especially if your dog loves getting into messy situations.

Is a Dog Knee Brace Right for Your Pet?

If your dog is showing signs of limping, favoring one leg, or is hesitant to jump and run like before, a knee brace could be the support they need. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, dealing with arthritis, or showing early signs of joint problems, knee braces for dogs provide a non-invasive, affordable solution that can significantly improve your dog’s quality of life.

As I watched Bella return to her playful self with the help of her knee brace, I realized that this simple device made a world of difference. If you’re facing a similar situation, consider exploring a dog knee brace. It might just be the secret weapon your pup needs to stay active and happy.

Can You Undergo Both Knee Joint Replacement Surgeries at a Time? 

Yes, according to your doctor's advice, you can undergo both knee joint replacement surgeries at once. A double knee replacement procedure may require one or two methods. 

Suppose your knee discomfort makes it difficult for you to go about your everyday activities and significantly lowers your quality of life. In that case, your doctor will likely advise knee replacement surgery. Since younger people tend to wear out their artificial knees more quickly, this surgery is typically performed on patients over 60. 

You might need double knee replacement surgery if severe arthritis affects both knees. In that case, you can opt for Western Orthopaedics, a trustworthy Knee Specialist in Sydney. Read on to learn a lot about both knee joint replacement: 

For whom is bilateral knee replacement surgery appropriate? 

Everyone can't undergo bilateral knee replacement surgery. The degree of arthritis in both knees, the patient's general health and medical history, the patient's capacity to withstand anesthesia, and the recovery period are all considered when deciding whether to have bilateral knee replacement surgery. You should consult a knee specialist in Sydney to make an informed decision. Generally, patients who are excellent candidates for bilateral knee replacement surgery have: 

Severe arthritis in both of the knees 

a high anesthetic tolerance 

general well-being 

willingness to dedicate oneself to an intense aftercare rehabilitation schedule 

Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement 

When you get a simultaneous bilateral knee replacement, the procedure will involve replacing both knees. The main benefit of doing both procedures simultaneously is that only one hospital stay and one rehabilitation period are needed to heal both knees. 

However, since using both knees at once is more challenging, recovery could go more slowly. When recovering from simultaneous bilateral knee surgery, a lot of patients actually require help at home. 

Simultaneous bilateral knee replacements take longer. While staged bilateral knee replacements take only two hours, this treatment usually takes three to four hours. 

There is a higher chance of complications because simultaneous bilateral knee replacement takes longer and requires larger doses of anesthetic. Patients with lung problems or cardiac issues are not advised to have the operation. During and following surgery, these high-risk patients may have heart issues or severe blood loss. 

Benefits of bilateral knee replacement surgery 

The allure of having both knees replaced at once may be strong if you're in good physical condition and overall health. Many benefits come with bilateral knee replacements, such as: 

Reduced time off from work 

shortened hospital stay 

lower medical expenses, with projected savings of 18–26% 

Many men and women choose bilateral knee replacements because they only require one physical therapy session. After they recover, they are not at risk of needing more surgery or rehabilitation. 

Staged bilateral knee replacement 

When both knees are replaced in two different procedures, it is known as phased bilateral knee replacement. A few months separate these procedures. About two hours are needed for each procedure. Through a step-by-step process, one knee can heal before the other is operated on. 

Reduced risk of problems is the key benefit of a tiered approach. Longer hospital stays are also necessary. 

However, the entire recovery period may be somewhat longer because this technique necessitates two procedures. As a result, your return to some everyday activities may be delayed.

The Disadvantages of Knee Replacement Surgery: What You Need to Know

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a common procedure performed to relieve pain and restore function in severely damaged knee joints. While the surgery has helped many patients regain their quality of life, it’s important to be aware of the potential disadvantages before making a decision. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the common drawbacks associated with knee replacement surgery.

1. Post-Surgery Pain and Discomfort

One of the most significant disadvantages of knee replacement surgery is the post-operative pain and discomfort. Although pain is expected after any major surgery, it can be particularly intense following a knee replacement. This pain can last for several weeks and sometimes even months, requiring the use of pain management strategies, including medication and physical therapy.

2. Prolonged Recovery Time

Recovery from knee replacement surgery is a lengthy process. Patients typically need several weeks to a few months to regain mobility and return to daily activities. Full recovery, where the knee joint feels fully functional and pain-free, can take up to a year. This extended recovery time can be a significant drawback for individuals who are eager to return to their normal routines.

3. Risk of Complications

As with any surgery, knee replacement comes with risks. Some potential complications include infection, blood clots, nerve damage, and issues with anesthesia. While these complications are relatively rare, they can lead to further surgeries or prolonged hospital stays. Additionally, in some cases, the artificial knee joint may become loose or wear out over time, necessitating revision surgery.

4. Limited Range of Motion

Even after a successful knee replacement, some patients may experience limitations in their range of motion. While the goal of the surgery is to improve function, it may not restore the full range of motion that the patient had before the knee was damaged. This limitation can affect certain activities, such as kneeling or squatting, and may require adjustments to the patient’s lifestyle.

5. Cost of Surgery

Knee replacement surgery can be expensive, especially when considering the cost of the procedure, hospital stay, rehabilitation, and potential time off work. While many health insurance plans cover the surgery, there may still be significant out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, the need for future revision surgeries due to wear and tear of the artificial joint can add to the overall cost.

6. Uncertain Longevity of the Implant

Knee implants do not last forever. Most knee replacements are expected to last 15 to 20 years, but this can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s activity level, weight, and overall health. Younger patients may need to undergo a second knee replacement surgery later in life, which can be more complex and carry additional risks.

7. Psychological Impact

The psychological impact of knee replacement surgery should not be underestimated. The prolonged recovery period, along with the challenges of managing pain and adjusting to a new knee joint, can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, or even depression. It’s important for patients to be mentally prepared for the emotional aspects of recovery and seek support if needed.

Conclusion

While knee replacement surgery can offer significant benefits, including pain relief and improved mobility, it is essential to consider the potential disadvantages. Understanding the risks, recovery time, and possible limitations can help you make an informed decision about whether knee replacement surgery is the right option for you. Always consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to discuss your specific situation and explore all available treatment options.

By being aware of both the benefits and disadvantages, you can approach knee replacement surgery with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of what to expect during the recovery process.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Dog Knee Braces

When your canine companion is in need of knee support, choosing the right dog knee brace is crucial. The decision can impact their comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life. Here, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when selecting the most suitable knee brace for your furry friend.

The Type of Injury or Condition

The specific injury or condition your dog is facing plays a pivotal role in choosing the right dog brace. Different braces are designed to address various issues, such as torn ligaments, arthritis, or post-surgery recovery. Consulting with your veterinarian to determine the exact nature of the problem is essential.

Customization and Fit

The importance of an accurately fitted knee brace for dogs cannot be overstated. A well-fitted brace ensures that it provides the right support without causing discomfort or hindering movement. Some knee braces are even custom-made to match the unique anatomy of your dog’s leg, guaranteeing an optimal fit.

Material and Durability

The choice of material in a dog knee brace is essential for durability and comfort. Modern knee braces often use neoprene and specialized fabrics known for their durability and flexibility. These materials not only provide support but also allow your dog to move naturally.

Comfort and Mobility

Consider how the knee brace affects your dog’s comfort and mobility. It should alleviate pain and discomfort while facilitating movement. Look for braces that balance support and mobility, enabling your dog to walk, run, and play without restriction.

Ease of Use

An ideal knee brace for dogs should be easy to put on and take off. Complicated, time-consuming application can lead to resistance from your dog. Choose a brace that is simple to use to ensure a stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Veterinarian Recommendations

Your veterinarian is a valuable source of guidance when choosing a knee brace. They can provide insights into the type of brace that would be most effective for your dog’s specific condition. Consulting with your vet ensures that you make an informed decision.

Budget Considerations

Dog knee braces vary in price, so your budget is a factor to weigh. While it’s tempting to choose the most cost-effective option, quality should not be sacrificed. Inexpensive braces may lack the durability and support needed for your dog’s well-being.

Customer Reviews and Feedback

Researching and reading customer reviews and feedback on knee braces can offer valuable insights. Real-life experiences of other dog owners can help you identify reliable brands and models and provide information on how well a particular brace works in practice.

Return Policy and Warranty

It’s wise to check the return policy and warranty of the dog knee brace you choose. This ensures that if the brace doesn’t fit properly or meet your dog’s needs, you have options for returning or replacing it.

Your Dog’s Behavior and Comfort

Lastly, consider your dog’s temperament and comfort when wearing the brace. Some dogs may initially resist wearing a brace, while others adapt more easily. Patience and positive reinforcement can help make the adjustment smoother.

In conclusion, choosing the right knee brace for dog involves a combination of medical considerations, comfort, and practicality. By carefully evaluating these factors and consulting with your veterinarian, you can make an informed decision that ultimately enhances your dog’s mobility and quality of life.

The Importance of Rehabilitation for Bone and Muscle Recovery After Surgery

Why You Need Rehab After Surgery

Speeding Up Recovery: Regardless of the type of surgery—be it joint replacement, heart surgery, or cancer treatment—rehabilitation accelerates your healing process. It’s like giving your body a turbo boost on the road to recovery.

Starting Early: Rehab often begins while you’re still in the hospital. A skilled therapist will help you get out of bed, take those first steps, and regain mobility. These initial movements are crucial for preventing complications and maintaining muscle strength.

Continuing Beyond Hospital Discharge: Once you’re released from the hospital, your rehab journey continues. Depending on the complexity of your surgery, you might transition to a rehab center for a few weeks or months. Alternatively, you could opt for outpatient therapy, where you live at home but attend regular sessions.

How Rehab Helps You Recover

During your rehab program, keep these key goals in mind:

Improving Movement and Range of Motion:

Whether it’s a new knee joint or repaired tendons, rehab focuses on restoring your ability to move comfortably. You’ll work on flexibility and joint mobility.

Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a fully functional joint. Patience and persistence pay off.

Muscle Strengthening:

Surgery can temporarily weaken muscles. Rehab exercises target specific muscle groups, gradually building strength.

Strong muscles provide stability, protect joints, and enhance overall function.

Pain Reduction:

Postoperative pain is common, but rehab helps manage it. Therapists guide you through techniques to alleviate discomfort.

As you regain strength, pain often decreases.

Walking Again:

First with crutches or a walker, then independently. Rehab teaches you proper gait patterns and balance.

Soon, you’ll be striding confidently toward recovery.

Daily Activities Mastery:

Climbing stairs, getting up from a chair, getting in and out of a car, dressing, and bathing—all these activities become part of your rehab curriculum.

Occupational therapists may even teach you practical skills like cooking or using adaptive tools.

Your Rehab Team

Several experts collaborate to ensure your successful recovery:

Physiatrist: These doctors specialize in rehab. They tailor a personalized plan and oversee your progress.

Physical Therapist: They guide you through exercises to improve strength and range of motion.

Occupational Therapist: They focus on daily life skills—essential for your independence.

Dietitian: Proper nutrition supports healing and overall health.

Orthomed Hospital’s Commitment to Rehabilitation

Feeling the Ache in Your Joints? Here's the Lowdown on Joint Replacement

Let's face it, joint pain is a total bummer. It can put a major damper on your daily life, making even the simplest movements feel like a marathon. But before you resign yourself to a life of limited mobility, there's good news: joint replacement surgery can be a game-changer.

In this article, we're diving deep into the world of joint replacement. We'll break down the different types of procedures, explore the latest advancements, and answer all your burning questions (and let's be honest, there are probably a lot). So, grab a cup of your favorite tea, settle in, and get ready to reclaim your joint-tastic life!

First things first: What exactly is joint replacement?

Think of it as giving your worn-out joint a shiny, new upgrade. Surgeons remove the damaged parts of your joint (typically the cartilage and bone) and replace them with artificial implants. These implants can be made from various materials, like metal, ceramic, or a combination of both.

So, when is joint replacement the right call?

If you've been battling chronic joint pain that's significantly impacting your quality of life, and conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and injections haven't brought relief, then joint replacement might be your golden ticket. It's particularly effective for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and severe injuries.

But wait, there's more! The different types of joint replacements you should know about:

Hip replacement: This one's a classic, and for good reason. It's a highly successful procedure that can dramatically improve your mobility and pain levels.

Knee replacement: Another common procedure, knee replacement can get you back on your feet and enjoying activities you thought you'd have to give up.

Shoulder replacement: Say goodbye to shoulder pain and hello to a new range of motion with this surgery.

Ankle replacement: This one's less common, but it can be a lifesaver for people with severe ankle arthritis.

The latest and greatest in joint replacement tech:

Minimally invasive surgery is all the rage, and for good reason. These procedures involve smaller incisions, which translates to less pain, faster recovery times, and quicker returns to your favorite activities. Plus, robotic-assisted surgery is becoming increasingly popular, offering even greater precision and control during the procedure.

Okay, I'm convinced. But what about the recovery process?

It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but physical therapy is your BFF in this journey. With dedication and hard work, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can regain your strength and mobility. And remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint, so be patient and kind to yourself.

The bottom line:

Joint replacement surgery isn't just about replacing a joint; it's about reclaiming your life. If you're struggling with chronic joint pain, don't suffer in silence. Talk to your doctor, explore your options, and remember, there's hope for a pain-free future. So, ditch the pain meds, dust off your dancing shoes, and get ready to move it like you never thought possible!
