warnings: cursing, angst.

next: chapter 4

Adeline sat at the small wooden table in her living room, her laptop open in front of her, a notebook filled with scribbled notes and a half-empty cup of coffee she’d long forgotten. The morning light filtered through the window, casting a soft-glow over the space, but her attention was fixed solely on the screen.

She had worked with athletes before — semi-professionals — but never someone of his level.

A Premier League footballer. An England international.

This was different. The stakes are higher, the expectations heavier, and Mason? He wasn’t making things any easier.

She tapped the end of her pen against her notebook, exhaling slowly. Mason Mount was guarded. Irritable. Completely uninterested in her presence. Not that she expected him to be overjoyed about working with a physiotherapist — especially one who had been assigned to him rather than chosen — but the coldness in his eyes, the short responses, the way he made it clear he wanted nothing to do with this whole process… It didn’t exactly set a promising journey.

Adeline had learned to navigate stubborn patients before. But, Mason Mount? He was a whole different kind of challenge.

A sudden giggle pulled her out of her thoughts.

On the floor, just by the couch, Lilith sat cross-legged with her stuffed animals spread around her in an organized mess. She was speaking in a serious voice, clearly in the middle of a conversation between her toys.

“No, Teddy, you can’t eat all the biscuits! It’s not fair to Bunny.” she huffed, arms crossed as if truly scolding them. “We share in this house, ‘kay?”

Adeline felt her lips twitch into a small smile despite the weight pressing on her chest.

Lily. The biggest reason why this job mattered.

Her usual routine was simple: drop Lily at daycare in the morning, pick her up in the late afternoon, spend the evening together.

Her heart clenched at the thought of missing their usual evenings — cooking dinner together, bedtime stories, Lily’s constant chatter filling the flat.

She needed this opportunity. But, at what cost?

Her eyes flickered back to her screen, back to the scans of Mason’s knee. The damage was significant, but the surgery had been successful. Now, it was about getting him to trust her, to listen, to push past the frustration and actually engage with his recovery.

Her fingers tapped against the table as she read the list, then underlined the last point "step 5: slowly reintroduce movement".

Mason didn’t strike her as the patient type. He’d want to push harder, move faster, prove to himself that he wasn’t broken. That was the real battle. Not just the physical recovery — but getting him to accept that it'd take time.

She sighed, glancing at Lily, who was now making Bunny and Teddy hug it out, completely unbothered by the world around her.

Her pen was poised over the notebook, underlining key points in her notes, when she suddenly glanced at the clock. Her stomach dropped. She was late. Again.

“Shit.”

She was juggling too many things at once — her bag, Lily’s tiny backpack, her keys between her teeth — when Adeline finally swung the door open, only to freeze mid-step.

Because standing in the hallway, just locking his own door, was him.

Elliot Sinclair.

He was new to the building, had moved in a couple of months ago, and ever since, Adeline had definitely noticed him. Tall, dark-haired, built like he actually used that gym membership most people just don't mind. Always dressed effortlessly in fitted sweaters and well-tailored trousers, like he walked straight out of a magazine.

And he had this smile — like he knew exactly how good he looked but wasn’t an asshole about it.

“Morning, Adeline.” His voice was smooth, polite, just like always. His green eyes flickered down to Lily, who was hopping beside her mum, struggling to get her arms into the straps of her backpack. “And good morning to you, Miss Lily.”

“Hi, Mr. Elliot!” Lily beamed, finally getting the backpack on and standing up straight, proud of herself.

“That’s quite the bag you’ve got there. Off to save the world?” Elliot chuckled.

Lily gasped, as if she’d been caught in a secret mission. “How’d you know?”

“Lucky guess.” He winked.

Adeline cleared her throat, clutching Lily’s tiny hand in hers.

“Morning, Elliot. You heading out?”

“Yeah, work calls.” He lifted the leather briefcase in his hand, his watch catching the light. “And you? Big day ahead?”

Adeline hesitated, not quite sure why she suddenly felt… nervous.

She spoke to people all the time. This was normal.

But something about the way he looked at her — genuinely interested, not just asking for the sake of politeness — made her stomach flip.

“Uh, yeah. First session with a new patient today.” she answered, shifting the weight of her bag on her shoulder.

“Physiotherapy, right?” Elliot nodded, intrigued.

“Yes.”

“Must be rewarding.” he said, eyes warm. “Helping people get back on their feet.”

Adeline blinked. Most people didn’t really say things like that. They either assumed she did massages all day or made some joke about her working with sweaty guys.

But Elliot… he actually seemed to get it.

She cleared her throat again, feeling the heat creep up her neck. “There’s a mix of highs and lows.” But, before Elliot could say more, a known voice cut through the hallway.

“Well, hello.” Adeline groaned before even turning around. She strolled down the hall, coffee cup in one hand.

Stella.

“Oh, Ady.” she drawled, stopping beside her with a dramatic sigh. “You never told me you had such a fit neighbor.”

Adeline wanted to die. Right there. On the spot.

“I suppose I’ll take that as a compliment.” Elliot chuckled.

“You should.” Stella replied, giving him a once-over that was far too obvious.

Adeline needed this moment to end. Immediately.

“Well, we should go.” she rushed out, gripping Lily’s hand a little tighter. “We’re already late.”

“Right. Have a good day, both of you.” Elliot smiled.

“You too, Elliot.” Adeline muttered before practically dragging Stella towards the lift.

The moment the doors closed, Stella burst into laughter.

“God, Adeline. You like him.”

“What? No, I don’t.”

“You so do.”

“Can we not?” Adeline groaned, pressing the button for the ground floor.

“Are you kidding? He’s gorgeous. Tall, dark, polite, successful — what’s his deal? Lawyer? Architect?”

“I don’t know. Finance, maybe?” Adeline shrugged. “He’s always in suits.”

“Oh, even better. A rich, hot neighbor? Babe, this is prime romance novel material.”

“Stella.”

“Adeline.”

Adeline sighed, praying for patience.

Stella just smirked. “Alright, fine, I’ll leave it — for now. But, one day you’re gonna admit I was right.”

Adeline rolled her eyes. Like that would ever happen.

“Now, let’s talk about something far more important,” Stella continued. “I’m taking Lily today, and before you argue — yes, you need me to, and yes, you’re going to accept it.”

And just like that, the conversation smoothly transitioned to Stella’s plan to help with Lilith.

But no matter how much Adeline focused on her friend’s words, she couldn’t quite shake the way Elliot had looked at her.

(...)

Mason sat on the edge of his bed, the TV droning on in the background. He wasn’t really watching, just trying to drown out the mess of thoughts in his head. The injury, the disappointment, the endless pressure. His leg was still sore, the heavy weight of frustration pressing down on him.

A sports program came on, the ESPN logo flashing across the screen. Mason’s eyes drifted lazily to the TV as the host started talking about him.

"Mason Mount, still struggling to make an impact at Manchester United after his move from Chelsea. Following a difficult start to the season, and now, a injury that’s going to keep him sidelined for a while, the question is: can he come back from this?"

The words hit him like a slap. He could feel his blood boil as they moved onto clips of his missed shots, his poor performances. The commentator, as usual, was so eager to make it sound worse than it was.

"Come on..." Mason muttered under his breath, his grip tightening on the remote.

Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. With a grunt, he hurled the remote across the room, the clattering sound echoing off the walls as it hit the floor. His chest was tight, his anger bubbling up, and he hated that this was how it was playing out. He wasn’t supposed to be in this situation.

The door creaked open just as he leaned back against his pillows, still seething.

“Mate, you alright?” Ben’s voice broke through the silence, and Mason looked up to see his two best friends, Ben and Declan, standing in the doorway.

Ben grinned, looking around the room. “What, did you lose a fight with your remote or something?”

Mason couldn’t help the small huff of laughter that escaped him. “I’m fine.” he muttered.

“Sure you are, mate.” Ben said, tossing a sideways glance at Declan. “We just thought we’d swing by before practice. Check in on the walking wounded.”

“How’s it going, mate?” Declan gave him a quick, sympathetic smile, his hands in his pockets.

“Not great.” Mason replied honestly, rubbing his eyes. “It’s been a hell of a couple of days.” Ben flopped down into a chair, clearly trying to lighten the mood.

“We’ve been planning a trip, actually.” he said, leaning forward, clearly excited. “Something to take our minds off football. Thought we’d do a lads’ weekend in a couple of months, when you're good to go. Get away from the madness for a bit.”

“Yeah, somewhere warm, maybe a beach. You’ll be back on your feet by then, no problem.” Declan joined in.

“I hope so, but we’ll see.” Mason leaned back in the bed, his eyes scanning the ceiling.

“We’ve all agreed, you’re coming. No excuses.” Ben shot him a smirk.

“Yeah, yeah.” Mason replied, trying to smile. “If I can even walk by then.”

“You’ll be fine. You’ve got this.” Declan gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Just as Mason was about to respond, the door opened again, and Adeline stepped into the room. Her presence immediately changed the atmosphere, her calm demeanor cutting through the tension.

Ben, always the cheeky one, didn’t waste a second. He stood up, flashing her a grin.

“Oh, I see… this is her, huh? The one who’s gonna fix our mate up.”

“I’m here to help, yes.” Adeline raised an eyebrow, her cool expression not missing a beat.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Declan.” Declan, ever the polite one, extended his hand with a warm smile.

Ben, on the other hand, gave a small wink as he took a step closer.

“Ben. Good luck with this one, Adeline.” he said, his grin teasing, though there was a hint of genuine admiration in his voice. “He’s a tough one.”

“Nice to meet you both, boys.”

Mason rolled his eyes slightly, already bracing himself for whatever would come next. His mates were clearly a bit too comfortable.

“Alright, well, I think it’s time to get to work.” Adeline said, glancing back at Mason. “Shall we start?”

Ben leaned in toward Mason with a wink. “Good luck, mate. We’ll leave you in her capable hands.”

“Yeah, take care of him.” Declan said, nodding seriously. “Catch you later.”

The door closed behind them, and Mason was left staring at Adeline, a mix of frustration and reluctance settling in. This wasn’t exactly how he imagined his recovery would go, but here he was. Time to face the music.

(...)

Mason sat on the edge of the treatment table, gripping the sides with both hands as he tried —really tried — to focus on the exercise Adeline had set up for him. His leg ached, the resistance band wrapped around his foot biting into his skin as he attempted another slow lift. He exhaled sharply, frustration simmering just beneath the surface.

“This is pointless.” he muttered, dropping his leg back down with a huff.

Adeline, standing beside him, barely flinched at his tone. “It’s not pointless. You need to strengthen the muscles around your knee to stabilize it.”

He rolled his eyes. “I know how injuries work.”

She crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly. “Oh, do you? Because, right now, it looks like you’re giving up before you’ve even started.”

Mason clenched his jaw, glaring at her. She was pushing him, and he didn’t like it. She wasn’t one of those physiotherapists who offered sympathy or let him get away with half-arsed attempts. No, she was standing there, waiting — expecting him to do better.

“I’m not giving up.” he gritted out.

“Then prove it, Mount.” she said smoothly, adjusting the band’s tension before stepping back. “Five more repetitions, no complaints.”

He wanted to argue, to snap back with something snarky, but instead, he exhaled through his nose and lifted his leg again. The burn in his thigh was immediate, his knee stiff and uncooperative, but he pushed through. Adeline watched closely, her gaze sharp.

It was strange — he was used to people watching him, analyzing his every movement on the pitch. But this was different. He wasn’t performing, wasn’t at his best, and yet she wasn’t looking at him like he was broken. Just… fixable.

He pushed the thought aside, focusing on finishing the set.

As soon as he was done, he dropped the band with an annoyed sigh, leaning back on his palms. “There. Happy?”

Adeline checked the angle of his knee and nodded. “For now. But we’ll push further tomorrow.”

Mason groaned. “You’re relentless.”

“It’s part of my job.” She smirked.

Before he could come up with a response, her phone buzzed on the table beside her. She grabbed it quickly, glancing at the screen before stepping away to answer.

Mason wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but the room was quiet enough that he could hear the soft tone of her voice. Whoever was on the other end, they were clearly important.

“No, it’s alright, darling.” Adeline said, her voice dropping slightly. “I’ll be there later. Don’t worry, everything’s fine.”

There was a pause. A softness in her expression that Mason hadn’t seen before.

She hung up and turned back around, slipping her phone into her pocket like nothing had happened.

“Is everything ok?” Mason raised an eyebrow.

“Just sorting a few things.” Adeline shrugged.

He eyed her for a moment, something about the way she deflected making him curious. But he wasn’t about to pry. Not yet, anyway.

“Well.” She said briskly, checking her watch. “That’s enough for today. You did alright.”

He scoffed. “Alright?”

“Considering you acted like a sloppy teenager, I’d say it was a decent effort.” She smirked.

“Cheers for that.” Mason let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head.

Adeline only smiled, grabbing her notebook and writing down something down before stepping towards the door.

“See you tomorrow, Mount.” she called over her shoulder.

Mason watched her go, his mind still stuck on that phone call. There was something she wasn’t saying. But then again, he barely knew her. It wasn’t like she owed him an explanation.

Still, as he ran a hand through his hair and glanced at the clock, he realized something.

The sessions weren’t getting any easier. But for the first time since the injury, he wasn’t just dreading them — he was thinking about them.

About her.

And that was unfamiliar territory.

(...)

The flat was quiet when Adeline stepped inside, the kind of silence that settled deep, reminding her of what she had missed. She dropped her bag by the door, exhaling as she toed off her shoes. The warm glow of the small lamp in the living room was the only source of light, casting soft shadows on the walls.

Stella was curled up on the couch, scrolling through her phone, but at the sound of Adeline’s arrival, she looked up with a small smile.

“She tried to wait for you.” Stella said gently, tilting her head towards Lilith’s room. “But her little eyes kept shutting, poor thing.”

“What time did she fall asleep?” Adeline’s chest tightened.

“About half an hour ago.” Stella replied, standing and stretching. “She kept asking if you’d be back soon. I told her you were working hard, but you know how she is.”

Adeline swallowed the lump in her throat. She wanted to see Lilith, to wake her up just for a moment — to press a kiss to her chubby little cheek and whisper apologies into her curls. But she knew better. Lily needed her sleep. And that only made the guilt feel heavier.

“I hate this, Ella.” She sighed, running a hand through her hair.

“I know you do.” Her friend gave her a knowing look.

“I feel like I’m barely seeing her. What’s the point of doing all this if I can’t even be here for her?” Adeline lowered herself onto the couch, rubbing her face.

“You are doing it for her, Ady. This job means better opportunities, more stability. And you’re not alone. I’m here. Lilith is happy, she’s loved. She’s not going to resent you for working hard.”

Stella sat down beside her, nudging her shoulder.

But that didn’t stop the ghosts from creeping in. The voices from her past saying that she’d ruined her life by keeping Lilith.

"You’ll never manage."

The memory of her father’s cold stare. Her mother’s disappointment. The way they turned their backs on her the moment she decided to raise her daughter alone.

"You won’t be able to do this. You’ll fail. That little girl deserves better than you."

Her throat tightened, her fingers curling into the fabric of her jeans.

“Adeline.” Stella’s voice pulled her back, gentle but firm. “You’re an amazing mom.”

“Sometimes, I don’t feel like one.” Adeline forced a breath, blinking rapidly before turning to her friend.

“Because you’re exhausted. But trust me, Lily adores you. And when she wakes up, you’ll still be her favorite person in the world.”

Adeline nodded, though the weight in her chest didn’t lift.

Stella patted her knee before standing up, grabbing her coat. “Alright, I should get going. I'll wake up early tomorrow.”

“Thank you.” Adeline murmured, standing to walk her to the door.

“Always.” Stella shot her a wink. “Oh, and by the way… I still think you should try and have a bit of fun outside of work. That neighbor of yours? Very easy on the eyes.”

Adeline let out a soft, tired laugh, shaking her head. “Go home, Stella.”

“Fine, fine." Stella grinned. "But you should think about it. You deserve something good, babes.”

And with that, she was gone, leaving Adeline alone in the quiet once again.

She glanced towards Lilith’s door, contemplating sneaking in just for a moment. But instead, she walked to her own room, changing into something comfortable before slipping beneath the covers.

She had a long day ahead tomorrow.

I Promised You Forever | Jay Halstead

⚠️ THIS IS A REPOST FROM MY MAIN BLOG @/DLMLUFICS.

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader

Request: From anon

Fic Type: Imagine

Warnings: A little angst. A little fluff. Mentions of a shooting and surgeries.

Word Count: 945

JAY HALSTEAD MASTERLIST || TAG LIST SIGN-UP

“Get to Med… Jay’s been shot.” 

As she waits in the waiting room at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, the sound of her sergeant’s words echoes in her ears. Her heart is racing, her knee is bouncing, her hands are trembling, and dried up tear streaks run down her face. She feels like she’s been sitting in the room for an eternity, waiting for any news about her husband’s condition. He was already in surgery by the time she got at the hospital, which was a little more than two hours ago.  

“Y/N!” she hears her partner, Kim Burgess, call out as she approaches her. When the brunette reaches her, she embraces her tightly. 

After Jay and Y/N revealed their relationship to Voight, the two women became partners. They’ve been like sisters since they went through the academy together, and they got even closer after Y/N and Hailey Upton were transferred to Intelligence after Erin Lindsey left.  

“Has there been any news?”  

“I haven’t heard anything; Will just went to see if he can get an update,” she says before breaking down again. “I can’t lose him, Kim,” she cries into the shoulder of her best friend. “I can’t do it without him. We just got married. I can’t be without him.”  

“Jay’s strong; he’ll get through this,” Kim reassures her as she rubs her back and squeezes her even tighter; it crushes her heart to see her best friend and chosen sister like this. 

“Did you get the person who shot him?” she says, pulling away from Kim and angrily wiping away the fresh set of tears that are falling.  The anger in eyes and voice wasn’t intended for her partner, or Adam who had been with Jay at the time of the shooting, or the rest of their team but at the guy who fired the gun at her husband and shot him. She begged Hank to give her five minutes with the person when they apprehended him, but Hank ordered her to stay at the hospital because that’s where she needed to be the most and swore he wouldn’t go easy with the guy. 

Kim replies, moving to sit in the chair next to the one she was in, “He’s in custody. Voight’s making his life a living hell, I’m sure of it.”  

She sits back down next to her and asks, “How’s Ruz?”  

“He’s blaming himself,” Kim replies. “He’ll be here when he’s cleaned himself up, and the others will be here after they’ve finished with the interrogation.”  

She nods, letting Kim know she heard her. 

Minutes pass as they sit in quiet, Kim holding her hand and reminding her that she is not alone. Will eventually returns and informs her that there haven’t been any updates just yet before he leaves once more to grab them all some coffee.  

Just as Will comes back with Adam following behind him, the surgeon walks into the waiting room. 

As he approaches, Y/N and Kim get to their feet. As the doctor begins to talk, Will moves to stand next to his sister-in-law. “Surgery went smoothly. We removed the bullet, stopped the bleeding, and repaired the damage the bullet caused. Jay will make a full recovery, but he will need to take it easy for some time.”  

Y/N exhales with relief, “I’ll make sure he does. Can we see him?”  

“Two at a time,” the doctor says with a nod.  

“Adam and I will go update everyone,” Kim says to her and Will before exiting the waiting room with Adam.  

The doctor leads Will and Y/N to the room where Jay has been moved. Jay opens his eyes and looks sleepily at his wife and brother as soon as they enter the room.  

“Oh, baby,” Y/N breathes as she walks over to his bed and takes his hand in hers, looking at him with tenderness. “Please don’t put me through that again.”  

“I can’t make any promises,” he says drowsily with a small smile. He raises her hand and kisses the back of it.  

“How are you feeling?” Will asks as he stands beside Y/N.  

Jay jokes with a slight smirk on his lips, “Like I was shot.  

Y/N scowls at him, not in the mood for jokes right now, and says, "Don’t joke.” 

“You love me, and you know it,” he gives her a small smile letting her know he’s teasing her.  

“I need to get back to work, but I’ll stop by after my shift,” Will tells his brother, stopping Y/N from that is retaliating. “I’ll make sure to bring you some decent food.”  

“Thank you, Will,” she says as he exits the room. Looking back at her husband, she sits on the edge of the hospital bed, clutching his hand on her lap. “I was so scared I would lose you.”  

“I’m not going anywhere,” he assures her. “We still have a lot to do together.”  

She leans down and gives him a soft kiss while whispering, “I love you.”  

“I love you too,” he replies as he kisses her again. “Now, come lie down with me.” 

“You’ve just gotten out of surgery. I don’t want to cause you more pain.”  

“They’ve got me on the good stuff, honey, and after what I just went through, all I want to do is hold my wife and remind her that us Halstead’s aren’t easy to take down,” he says and pulls her close to him, moving them so she can lay down beside him.  

With his arm across her shoulders and her head on his, he presses a kiss to her forehead and whispers, “I promised you forever. I’m keeping that promise.”

So, I'll be having some minor surgery in a couple months. I thought it would be cool to have Gale worried for/doting on [reader or tav] before and after. idk if that's weird or whatever, but just the idea of Gale being comforting, concerned, and just loving as all get out would make me feel a lot more at ease with this whole ordeal. I hope this is an ok prompt to request, but I understand if it's uncomfy for reasons.

Oh, anon I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope I can give you even the smallest bit of comfort, and thank you for your request 💜 here is about 1k words of pure comfort and doting.

Books and Basalm [also readable on Ao3]

Tav x Gale [Gender-nooch Tav. No pronouns used for Tav and no descriptions of any physical features at all.]

CW/Tags: medical/hospital type situation (not detailed in any way). FLUFF. All comfort no hurt.

Despite having read everything he could get his hands on about the procedure, and asking the cleric so many questions Tav had to gently tell him to leave the poor man alone, Gale was not allowed in the room. He’d made his displeasure very known, but Tav had patted his hand in a clear signal to shut up. He physically had to bite his own tongue to prevent more nervous babbling.

“I think we ought to get started,” the cleric said to Tav with a smile. Despite his obvious disinterest in speaking any further with Gale, he at least kept his bedside manner for his patient.

“You’ll be here when it’s done?” Tav asked.

Gale knelt next to the bed, ignoring the crackling protest of his knees. “I’ll be on the other side of this door the entire time.” He pointed to the very one which he would be sure not to leave. “The Gods themselves couldn’t pull me away.”

Tav laughed a little at the dramatics and leaned into the gentle kiss he gave. After a few final kisses and another pressed atop Tav’s head for good measure, Gale pulled himself away. He stationed himself directly on the other side of the door, as he had promised. He was a logical man, he saw sense and reason before much else, but he was at his core quite prone to wild emotion despite his academic mind.

Leading up to that moment there was not much he didn’t do by Tav’s side. Even when they had been out on the road, while he never had much skill in healing magic, he had always been nearby enough to know what was going on. All he could manage this time was his assurance Tav had the best healers the city could offer and a tower over-prepared to accommodate the recovery.

It took hours. He didn’t notice irritated looks of the other healers walking through the halls when he began to pace back and forth, only stopping to lean his back against the wall and then have to move again once his mind took off. It was impossible to keep still for very long.

When he was finally allowed back in the room, Tav was still asleep thanks to a potion and the cleric was assuring him everything went fine. Once Tav woke up, they could make their way back to the comfort of the tower. While the cleric started giving instructions for recovery, Gale found himself cutting him off with his new extensive knowledge on the subject, watching the cleric grow annoyed at him again. Gale was used to people’s thinly veiled irritation at his volubility, but be it nerves or something else he couldn’t stop himself.

The cleric excused himself as soon as he possibly could, and Gale sat nearby, ready to be the first thing Tav saw after waking up. He mindlessly practiced somatic movements, he flipped through his spellbook distractedly and then mentally triple checked he had everything he needed to properly care for Tav back at the tower. To him, it felt like hours, but in reality it didn’t take too long for Tav to wake up from the sleep potion that had been administered for the procedure. Eyes blinking open, Tav groaned, and Gale jumped up to shush and soothe them.

“There you are, my love,” he said quietly. “How do you feel?”

“Tired,” Tav groaned. “Sore.”

“Completely normal,” he pressed a kiss to Tav’s forehead, “we’ll get you home and with a cup of tea for the pain expeditiously.”

“It went alright?” Tav asked.

“The cleric has no concerns,” he smiled, “all that’s left to do is rest and recover.”

The cleric came in for a final check in, making sure Tav was alright to head back home. The waiting was the worst part, Gale was certain they need not put off leaving where Tav could rest well and with whatever could possibly be needed. It took some creativity on Gale’s part to get them both safely back to their bedroom in the tower with no added strain on Tav, but he managed it.

Tara sat perched expectantly on the bed, head tilted in quiet examination. “Welcome home,” she said, tail flicking back and forth behind her. “everything went well, I hope?”

“Besides the pain, I think I’m alright,” Tav smiled tiredly.

“Tea!” Gale said insistently. “I have tea that will be just the thing.”

Gale got Tav situated in the bed, with pillows arranged for maximum comfort and support. He opened the window for cool fresh ocean air to come in, and Gale only left Tav’s side to prepare some tea with basalm salts for the pain. While he was gone Tara had settled herself gently against Tav’s side, purring away.

When he came with the tea, water and a potion of rest, Tav could have laughed at his over preparedness.

As Tav reclined in the bed, sipping tea, he sat at the bedside in an armchair. “Gale?”

“Yes, my love, what do you need?”

Tav chuckled at his earnestness. “I’m bored.”

“Ah, well, we have a treasure trove of entertainments,” he replied, “what better to soothe the pains of ailment and the pangs of boredom than a book!” He eagerly added, “what will you choose? A stirring tale of heroics? A dissertation on the merits of illusory spellcraft? Or perhaps an anthropological study on the courts of the Feywild?”

Tav shrugged, “your choice, really, I was looking for an excuse to have you sit and read to me.”

“You hardly need an excuse for that,” Gale smiled.

He grabbed the book he was in the middle of on his bedside table, something light for reading before bed. Carefully, he nestled in beside Tav, sure not to disrupt his perfectly calibrated arrangement of pillows made for Tav’s ideal comfort. Under his watch, with tea to soothe and a book, Gale felt sure Tav would be okay.

Two pages into him reading, Tav had fallen asleep with the tea cup precariously resting in hand. Gale plucked it away, giving a gentle kiss upon Tav’s brow as he leaned over to set it aside.

Thank you so much for reading! 💜💜

'Petition For NYC & Others'

© Raul Cortes Junior 10 - 24 - 2024

I want to take this time to ask for the supernatural energy of compassion (aka the holy spirit), to dwell within me right now.

I am thankful for this moment & what I am allowed to do, to pray, write petition for the well being of others & myself.

I don't know what is going on with my social media sites that I created yesterday because I can't log into them at this present time, except for tumblr, I intend positive energetic alms to different groups of people in this writing/petition.

I have been given a lot of false information & had experienced a lack of trust among my surroundings, that led to a lot misunderstanding & misinformation.

I begin my prayer with the library, staff workers & security guards, as I type these words.

From all lightworkers to the creator of all in heaven,

most valuable is your name all throughout the universe,

may your kingdom manifest & your will be accomplished,

on earth as it is in heaven,

give your lightworkers on this day daily nourishment,

& forgive us our faults & mistakes, as we forgive the faults & mistakes of others,

& do not lead us to be tempted, yet deliver us from all evil schemes & plots,

For yours is the kingdom, the power & all the honor, may it be so.

 Further more, I pray for all politicians, celebrities, entertainers, artists & legal teams that represent true justice, here in New York City.

According to your will, Creator of all,

Bless with good health, good fortune & overall exceptional human interaction with beings of every kind, especially those who mean well & want to make the world a better place.

May controversies, rumors & character assassinations cease, if lies are being spread. May justice prevail, if indeed, crimes were committed.

Now I must say that, in order for this petition to have any lasting impact, one must consider, that yes my prayer has power (as it has been shown on multiple occasions), however, the people with covert-oversight of my life situation should consider the intention towards my wellbeing, (with it being purely a good & actively productive intention).

Now, I petition, that people...

with diabetes, asthma, HIV, cancer, high blood pressure, hurt knees, back pain, migraines, surgery recoveries, toothaches, lethargy, grief stricken, curses, intrusive energies, remote device influences & other difficulties,

...be released from all of these oppressions, if it be in the will of the Creator, & that there is a guide to provide specific instructions to receive deliverances of some of these oppressions & struggles.

This petition goes out to my entire biological family, ex friends, employment associates, artists, collaborators, activists, religious members & all other persons I have ever known, nearby in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania & as far away as Canada, UK London, Florida, Virginia Beach, Puerto Rico & beyond.

I also petition & pray that, I too, receive miracles & blessings as well, (the writer of this petition). In the name of the only begotten son of the creator, Jesus Christ, the entity of salvation for all who truly believe, AMEN.

Pristyn Care: Innovations in ACL Surgery: The Development and Use of Synthetic Ligaments

Anterior cruciate injuries are one of the most common but most crippling sports-related injuries caused to athletes from amateur to professional levels. It limits the knee joint from unstable activities for rotating and forward movements. The injury of the ACL can reduce the mobility of joints, causing chronic pain, and deteriorating the quality of life drastically.

In most of the cases, it necessitates surgery. New developments, techniques of production, and ways to use synthetic ligaments nowadays represent a true revolution in orthopedic medicine. All the novelties in treatment were taken into consideration by Pristyn Care in its work to innovate the Pristyn healthcare services, and as soon as the patients began to take the benefit of the most advanced options for ACL repair through minimally invasive interventions, the expanded benefits of minimally invasive techniques began to be evident clearer.

Importance of ACL Reconstruction

The ACL plays a very important part in the stability and movement of the knee joint; basically, activities such as walking, running, and jumping are regulated. These micro-injuries, if not halted in the growth phase, can grow into serious knee instability. The individual is put at risk of further injuries and a high probability of degenerative, destructive joint conditions of the osteoarthritic type. It is estimated that about 200,000 reconstructions of the ACL are carried out annually across the globe, and the question of finding and applying an integral treatment suddenly becomes urgent.

Most notably, the introduction of artificial ligaments entirely changed the idea of ACL reconstruction; it was the arrival on the market of a durable commercial analog of traditional grafts. In most cases, the period of recovery was elongated by the occurrence of pain in the donor area and the need to recover two traumatized areas and to use transplant tissue taken from the body of the patient. Contemporary solutions, backed by state-of-the-art equipment and the teams of surgeons in the Pristin Care facilities, have brought initiation of repair of an ACL tear to a new level—the maximum quality of life that individuals devastated by such an injury can hope for.

Synthetic ligaments. What exactly are synthetic

Some of the commonly used and developed synthetic implants are the synthetic ligaments used in orthopedic surgery. More precisely, they are artificially created biomaterials used in cases of a technique for replacing damaged natural ligaments. The synthetic ligaments are not autografts, allografts, or autografts harvested from the body of the patient but, on the contrary, they are biocompatible polymers in origin.

The various available options of synthetic ligaments and benefits brought by it include good quality, which is consistent; unlimited supply; and no morbidity at the donor site. The extraction of autografts can be a bit frightening to the patient, and most of the time, more time for recovery is needed. Other than that, synthetic ligaments minimize the time used during the surgery because grafting is not necessary.

That is why advanced synthetic ligaments are increasingly being used as a substitute for grafting, since, in some places, the availability of appropriate and right donor grafts is very limited. This, therefore, enhances the access and timeliness of the surgeries for anybody in need of ACL.

Where Technological Innovations Impact Development on Synthetic Ligaments

The development of an artificial ligament, and more so that of an artificial fiber, is an extremely interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering, aiming to produce fibers with properties analogous to natural ligaments. If performed on a human knee, that material should be strong, flexible, and durable enough to bear the dynamic stresses. Modern ones are made using advanced polymers, usually polyethylene terephthalate, and polyurethanes for their qualities of strength and elasticity.

This is particularly the case since such developments are specifically targeted at the improvement in the integration of such material with human tissue, the further reduction of risks for tissue rejection, as well as the enhancement of the healing process itself. Particularly, "Pristyn Care" is engaged in doing the given research process further enhancing the boundary of what is possible to be done with synthetic ligament technology. Focusing on knee biomechanics allows developers to adapt how a ligament's structure is formed to recreate natural motion while at the same time reducing complications and inducing new methods of natural and efficient ways of healing.

The newest technologies will save artificial knee ligaments from being inferior or just equal to the traditional knee-ligament grafts and most of the time, they will be far above benchmark levels by such a huge amount, marking a huge leap in ACL reconstruction technology.

How Pristyn Care is Changing the Way ACLs are Reconstructed

Pristyn Care leads from the front in the adaptation and innovation of methods for synthetic ligaments in the reconstruction of ACLs. There is a deep commitment to the assimilation of the latest in medical innovations with the aid of advanced technology that supports conducting such complex procedures in ultra-modern surgical facilities. With patient safety and surgical efficacy set to be a priority, the surgical centers of Pristyn Care can perform every ACL surgery under the best of conditions. Moreover, Pristyn Care is actively involved in partnering with advanced medical researchers and bioengineers to further enhance effectiveness and safety in the use of synthetic ligaments.

Reviews of ACL surgery operations under the aegis of Pristyn Care state that the medical staff were professional, the facilities were modern, and generally, surgeries were performed with good outcomes. All these statements refer not to new medical technologies but to the high rates of patient satisfaction and trust.

Advantages of Synthetic Ligaments in ACL Reconstruction

Using synthetic ligaments in ACL reconstruction has one major benefit which is the elimination of donor site morbidity. Unlike conventional techniques that include removing body tissue from a patient, these issues can be avoided by using synthetic ligaments. Therefore, it is widely recognized as an effective approach that lessens the chances of postoperative infection and pain reduction along with a quicker & easier recovery process. Pristyn Care reviews indicate that patients have highly ranked this method because they recover within a short time and experience minimal postoperative discomfort.

Pristyn healthcare reviews indicate that Pristyn Care’s use of synthetic ligament in ACL surgery has yielded outstanding results, which have enabled patients to make fast comebacks for sports and their normal duties. 

In Pristyn Care reviews, people talk about how much they are satisfied with the minimal interruption to their lives, and the quickness with which they recovered. Good testimonials through Pristyn Healthcare reviews emphasize how advanced surgical practices and individualized treatments offered by Pristyn Care are geared towards providing high-quality health services resulting in the best outcomes.

Identify the Challenging Issues and Consider

The utilization of synthetic materials in surgical procedures presents both opportunities and challenges. Although these materials can enhance the recovery process due to their design to integrate with tissue without triggering an immune response, their long-term durability remains a concern. Pristyn Care reviews often highlight the rigorous monitoring of synthetic-tendon integration, particularly under the continuous stress imposed by daily activities. This is an area of active research within Pristyn healthcare reviews, focusing on enhancing the material's ability to withstand long-term use without compromising safety.

Additionally, regulatory and ethical factors about these techniques are vital. In addition, all synthetic materials used are strictly regulated by Pristyn Care for maximum safety. This commitment to safety standards is reflected in Pristyn healthcare reviews where the rigorous clinical trials and medical & ethical constraints are highly acknowledged. These materials undergo stringent safety checks before their approval for use so that they conform with the highest possible safety standards hence maintaining the reputation of Pristyn Care as a provider of safe, innovative, and effective Pristyn health care solutions.

Patient Success Stories and Case Studies

Against this backdrop, many life-changing benefits make patients at Pristyn feel that their ACL is rebuilt with synthetic ligaments. This is not on paper, but one watches how a patient describes getting back to sports activity after months of surgery and says great recovery is credited to great care. Another case in point reflects a patient who almost felt no pain with rapid rehabilitation due to advanced surgical techniques at Pristyn Care. These stories strengthen the good reviews about high satisfaction rates and successful surgical outcomes on Pristyn healthcare platforms.

Conclusion

ACL injuries are mostly known as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and they are common and severe, especially in high-impact sports or activities that involve the knee joint heavily. These injuries negatively affect performance, so it requires a well-planned recovery plan to safely go back to what one was doing before. One main surgical procedure through which the normal functions of the knee can be restored is known as ACL reconstruction. The Return to Play (RTP) protocols post-surgery should be focused on total recuperation, prevention of future traumas, and restoration of peak levels of performance. For Pristyn Care, emphasis has been put on RTP post-ACL reconstruction to achieve full patient recovery and enable them to regain their best level of performance. In Pristyn care reviews, there is usually mention of how effective its customized RTP protocols are because these protocols help in preventing reinjuries. Further, Pristyn Healthcare reviews also hail the individualistic approach taken during the rehabilitation period which has significantly improved the success rates for ACL surgeries conducted at Pristyn Care.

16. Concussion from whiplash.

17. Shell punctures from claws and surrounding cracks.

18. Broken shell. Recovery time: 1+ yrs. Drill small screws into the shell on either side of the fracture and then wrap wire around the screws, tightening the shell down almost like opposing tissue during suturing. Apply fiberglass patch and resin. Wrap with sterile gauze to help stabilize any broken shell pieces that may be present. 

19. Fractured clavicle (collarbone). Recovery time: 6 - 8 weeks. Sling. 

20. Fractured temporal skull. Recovery time: 5 - 7 weeks.

21. Broken femur (thighbone). Recovery time: 4 - 6 months.

23. Neck bruising.

24. VERY skinned knees and lower legs.

25. Back of arms + shell got cut by claws.

26. Broken humerus (upper arm bone). Recovery time: 4+ months. Needs  temporary splint extending from the shoulder to the forearm and holding the elbow bent at 90 degrees.

27. Broken scapula (shoulder blade). Recovery time: 6-12 weeks. Needs short-term immobilization along with motion exercises to prevent adhesive capsulitis, also called frozen shoulder.

28. Fractured vertebrae. Recovery time: 3+ months. Would need a brace, but with his shell, it won't happen.

29. Fractured orbital bone (eye socket). Recovery time: 3+ weeks. 

30. Pneumothorax (collapsed lung). Recovery time: 1 - 3 weeks. Needs chest tube (but how will THAT work?).

31. Bruised liver (minor). Recovery time: 1 - 2 weeks.

32. Stomach bleed. Will lead to vomiting blood, yay.

33. Fractured sternum (breast bone). Recovery time: 6 weeks. Sternal injuries can usually be treated conservatively involving rest, restrictions of activities and painkillers, or occasionally through some form of intervention including targeted physical therapy.

34. Mild brain bleed. Recovery time: 6+ months. Surgery needed to drain blood from the brain Draining the fluid that surrounds the brain creates room for the hematoma to expand without damaging brain cells. Drugs are used to control blood pressure, seizures or headaches. Burr hole surgery is the main treatment for subdural hematomas that develop a few days or weeks after a minor head injury (chronic subdural hematomas). During the procedure, one or more small holes (the size of dimes) are drilled in the skull and a flexible rubber tube is inserted to drain the hematoma. Will drain within 2 - 3 days.

35. Second degree burns on his front. Recovery time: 1 - 3 weeks. Treat with antibiotic cream and wrap if the skin is raw, if the blisters open, or if there is risk of infection.

Homeboy will also deal with some other stuff, see my other post about it.

I'm fine (revised)- Athena & Simon

Return to File

Recovery date: August 17th, 2020

Description: While in the office, Athena starts to feel sharp pains in her abdomen. Phoenix, wanting to be safe, has Apollo take her to the ER.

Notes: Content warning for minor medical emergency. After consideration of the previous entry, a revision was made.

Word count: 578

Back to directory

“Hey Athena, are you okay?” Trucy asked. The young magician was currently sprawled out on the couch playing with a deck of cards. Athena was sitting on the couch across from her working.

“Uh, ya. Why?” Athena’s voice lacked some of it’s usual beat. Trucy narrowed her eyes and frowned, but before she could speak, Apollo piped up.

“Liar,” he said, he didn’t even look up from his work. “I’m sure Mr. Wright will let you go home if you need to. We’ve got things here covered.”

“Thanks, but I-” A wave of nausea came over her, and she covered her mouth as she braced herself on her knees. “Ow,” she groaned, placing a hand on her abdomen as she sat up again.

“Apollo, do you mind driving Athena to the ER?” He looked over at the man. “Better safe than sorry, abdominal pain can be really severe.”

---

“Simon, I’m fine. The doctors said I can probably go home tomorrow, you don’t need to stick around,” Athena sighed for the hundredth time.

After an hour or so of surgery, and another hour or so recovering from the anesthetic, she was finally feeling back to her regular self. During that time, Simon had never left the hospital. Phoenix had called him just after she'd gone into surgery.

The pain had started this morning before work, Athena had noticed her abdomen looked a little puffy and she felt a dull pain. But she’d waved it off as nothing more than an uncomfortable gas bubble, nothing strange. Still, she’d taken a tylenol and headed into the office. Another red flag should have been her disinterest in eating. She’d only eaten a piece of toast as opposed to her usual breakfast sandwich, if Simon were there he would have said something. That was why she hadn’t objected when Mr.Wright had Apollo drive her to the ER.

When they arrived, she was surprised at how quickly she was seen and how fast she was taken into surgery after. Not that she had been to the ER often, but the wait time always seemed endless. It had scared her a bit.

“I know what the doctor said, Cykes-dono, however I do not wish to leave you alone,” Simon said, as he continued to work. While Edgeworth had let him leave the office, he still had work to finish.

“I’m not alone, I’m in a hospital full of people,” she waved her arms over exaggeratedly, only to wince at the pull in her side. It could have been worse, she kept reminding herself. “Besides, Mr.Wright’s bringing me takeout for dinner. So I won’t be alone for long.” She sighed. “I don’t want your work to build up because of me,” she said softly.

Simon stopped typing and looked up. “Cykes-dono,” he stopped. “Athena, it is my job to make sure you’re okay. I am not leaving this room until you do.”

Athena looked down and began to play with her sheets. “Bu-”

“I have already requested the next few weeks off, I have quite a bit of vacation time accumulated. You aren’t getting rid of me,” he smiled. It was so often the other way around, with him pushing Athena to stop worrying.

“I can take care of myself,” she huffed, still playing with the sheets.

“I know you can, but as you are so fond of reminding me: Just because you can take care of yourself, doesn’t mean you always have to.”

Heyo! Sorry for the delay. I was right in the middle of moving houses and transferring to a different store so I had no time to post last week. I also bought a new mattress that I had to get set up on Tuesday last week on top of everything else. So I was a teeny tiny bit busy. ^___^ Like I've been literally living out of boxes in an almost empty house surrounded by dust bunnies. Only the sound of the show on my laptop and the owls out back for company. -plays the worlds smallest violin for myself- Anyway! Update time is now!

Linktree to all the things!

End notes for the chapter are under the line.

What's going to happen to you indeed. Will the heroes help him or throw him to the wind? We'll find out next time! ^_____^ Oh and if anyone was expecting a reunion with Hitoshi this chapter, sorry to disappoint but we had to get the tough stuff over with before the fluff. And Izuku was still being processed and needed the talk with the authorities first. So yeah, Hitoshi was at the hospital but won't meet up again with Izuku until later.

Condolences to Izuku's hand. It'll be a tough journey but he's still going to try his best going forward. Also me being me, I have plans. ;) And the physical therapy should help judging from my own experience of pt since I messed up my knee. I saw some people in for their hands after surgery and I don’t know much what would be recommended but I’ll do some research and see what I find. But pt does help! I learned some good exercises and tricks to help with my own recovery. So if you ever get injured like me or get surgery def do the pt after.

All the comforting physical support! :D Aizawa figured that out ages ago and Nezu has too. I have read some fics where Nezu was against physical touch due to his years of experimentation. Which valid if it was forced upon him but I'm more going with the animal instincts to comfort those in their pack of sorts. Honestly all of Izuku's mentors have already mentally adopted Izuku anyway so to me they are all a big unofficial family.

So what will happen to Izuku? You'll find out next chapter! Again thank you for the patience. I'm now moved into the new house and officially transferred to the new store. And I am typing this while on my brand new fancy mattress. Now all I gotta do is unpack the gazillion boxes in my room. Yay moving. :P Alrighty. I shall leave y'all with this until next time. Byeee!

[laf-outloud]

So consult, tests, follow up, JIB? Is it that surgeries take a long time to schedule in the US or that they're waiting until after because so few of the cast are scheduled this time?

You're asking questions I can't answer, anon! I think people assumed Jared would be getting surgery, but it may be that he was just doing a consult while in Chicago and they may not opt for surgery.

If he is going to do surgery, then yes, it can take a while to get that scheduled out, especially if it's an elective surgery (non-emergency).

Jared's under no obligation to tell us his plans for his knee, but I assume if he does have surgery, we'll see the results at some future convention. (The type of surgery can also dictate recovery time, so that's unknown as well.)

How Multispeciality Hospitals Ensure Personalised Treatment Plans for Every Patient

When it comes to healthcare, one size does not fit all. Every patient has unique medical needs, history, and concerns. That’s why multispeciality hospitals focus on creating personalised treatment plans that cater to each individual. If you’re looking for the best multispeciality hospital in Halol, you’ll want one that offers tailored care, ensuring you receive the right treatment at the right time.

But how do multispeciality hospitals manage this level of personalisation? Let’s explore.

Comprehensive Medical Teams Working Together

One of the biggest advantages of a multispeciality hospital is its team of experts from different fields. Whether it’s a cardiologist, neurologist, or orthopaedic specialist, they all work together to diagnose and treat patients. Instead of visiting different hospitals for different problems, a patient can receive holistic care under one roof.

For example, if a patient has diabetes and also experiences heart problems, an endocrinologist and a cardiologist can collaborate to design a treatment plan that manages both conditions without affecting the other. This teamwork ensures that no aspect of a patient’s health is overlooked.

Detailed Patient Assessments

Before recommending any treatment, doctors take time to understand the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and even personal preferences. Advanced diagnostic tests, genetic screenings, and medical imaging help create a complete health profile.

Let’s say a patient suffers from chronic back pain. Instead of immediately suggesting surgery, doctors at a multispeciality hospital will explore different options, such as physiotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Surgery will be considered only if these treatments don’t work. This step-by-step approach ensures that the treatment is both necessary and effective.

Technology-Driven Personalised Treatment

Modern multispeciality hospitals use cutting-edge technology to customise treatment plans. From AI-powered diagnostic tools to robotic surgeries, technology reduces errors and improves outcomes.

For instance, cancer treatment today is highly personalised. Based on the patient’s tumour type, genetic makeup, and overall health, oncologists can suggest targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiation. This precision ensures that the patient receives the best possible treatment with minimal side effects.

Personalised Rehabilitation and Recovery Plans

Treatment doesn’t end after a patient leaves the hospital. Recovery is just as important, and that’s why multispeciality hospitals provide personalised rehabilitation plans.

A patient recovering from knee replacement surgery, for example, will need physiotherapy sessions designed specifically for them. Age, weight, and fitness levels all affect the intensity of therapy. A good hospital will adjust the plan based on the patient’s progress to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

Patient Involvement in Decision-Making

Healthcare decisions should never be made in isolation. The best multispeciality hospitals involve patients and their families in treatment discussions. Doctors take time to explain different options, their benefits, and possible risks so the patient feels comfortable and confident in their care plan.

If a patient is nervous about a procedure, hospitals often offer counselling sessions where medical professionals answer all questions, ensuring the patient is well-informed. This approach helps reduce stress and builds trust between doctors and patients.

Conclusion

Multispeciality hospitals go beyond just treating symptoms; they provide care that is personalised, thorough, and focused on long-term health. Whether through expert collaboration, advanced technology, or patient involvement, they ensure that each person gets the best possible treatment.

If you are searching for the best multispeciality hospital in Halol, look for one that prioritises personalised care. Because when it comes to your health, a tailored approach always leads to better outcomes.

Hamstring Tendon Autografts in ACL Reconstruction by Pristyn Care

Individuals who participate in athletic activities or engage in heavy-impact sports are affected by anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. These types of injuries not only limit motion but also increase the chances of having long-term joint problems. The process of replacing a damaged ACL with a graft is known as ACL reconstruction and it is a crucial surgical operation that can be done using either Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) or Hamstring Tendon Autograft.

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Pristyn Care, well-known for its state-of-the-art surgical skills, excels at these procedures, thus giving the best possible outcomes to its patients. Pristyn Healthcare provides higher recovery rates and patient satisfaction by combining advanced technology and customized plans, ultimately delivering premium care tailored to each patient’s needs. This commitment by Pristyn Healthcare guarantees that every patient receives the highest standard of care possible.

Overview of Techniques for ACL Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction refers to a surgical procedure aimed at substituting a ruptured ligament of the knee to attain its stability and function. This procedure is aimed to bring the patient back to his pre-injury level of activity with no instability or pain in the knee. The choice of graft in this process is critical because, in many senses, it determines the success of the surgery and the experience of the patient in recovery. Pristyn Care optimizes this process with surgical plans that are tailored to the unique physiology and lifestyle needs of each patient. Beyond surgical outcomes, it aligns with long-term health and activity goals for the patient. Moreover, the vision of Pristyn Care to integrate advanced technologies with surgical acumen gives a high quality of care to the patient through these reconstructive journeys.

Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) Grafts

BPTB graft is the most commonly performed graft used in ACL reconstructions because it is a robust and effective graft. It includes a central strip from the patellar tendon combined with small bone blocks of the patella and tibia. The bone ends of the graft allow quicker, more natural integration into the knee joint since they enable bone-to-bone healing, which is thought to be more stable and reliable compared with other grafts.

The Benefits of BPTB Graft

Chief amongst the numerous advantages of BPTB grafts is the fact that they heal fast within the host bone since the healing is bone to bone. As such, there are minimal concerns of the grafts’ slippage and the grafts give better initial stability, which is paramount during a time when patients are likely to get aggressive in getting back into high-demand activities. The patellar tendon, which is the strongest in the human body and structurally characteristic as well, broadens the overall durability and functionality of the graft.

Disadvantages of BPTB Graft

On the downside, the BPTB graft is not free from disadvantages too: anterior knee symptoms frequently are seen after surgical intervention and include the activity of kneeling or applying direct pressure on the knee. Secondly, the iliac bone block has potential donor site morbidity in terms of patella fractures or even tendonitis.

Patient Testimonials

Such mixed reviews should be found among patients with BPTB grafts when looking through reviews of the Pristyn Care. While some patients are satisfied with the stability of the graft with effective knee function restored, others keep emphasizing the difficulties not only with postoperative pain but also with the recovery time. These testaments put a reinforcement mark upon the need for a customized approach in surgical planning, which is a hallmark at Pristyn, ensuring that a meticulous approach is taken to the individual health profile and expectations in recovery for each patient.

Hamstring Tendon Autografts

Hamstring tendon autografts are commonly used in ACL reconstruction and involve the use of one or more tendons from the patient’s hamstring, typically the semitendinosus and sometimes the gracilis tendon. These tendons are removed through a small incision near the knee and prepared to serve as a replacement for the damaged ACL.

Advantages of Hamstring Grafts

Several reasons make hamstring grafts the preferable choice, and these start with the fact that the technique is less invasive; hence, it usually reduces postoperative pain in comparison to BPTB grafts. The incision site also heals more discretely, and patients often experience minimal harvest site morbidity, which usually allows for a more comfortable and quicker initial recovery phase. The hamstring tendons are very flexible and elastic, making them excellent in terms of mimicking the natural movements of the knee.

Disadvantages of Hamstring Grafts

However, hamstring tendons have their downsides. The most worrisome downside is the theory that proceeds with lower limb weakness. There is also a concern regarding the size and strength differences between the stretches of the tendon, which may complicate the surgery and lead to less knee stability after the reconstruction.

Customer Reviews From Pristyn Healthcare Testimonials

Common feedback in Pristyn healthcare reviews often highlights the satisfaction among patients who have undergone hamstring autografts. The main advantages noted include less noticeable scarring and reduced pain post-surgery. However, some Pristyn care reviews also point out that rehabilitation can be somewhat extended, as the hamstring needs additional strengthening post-procedure. These patient experiences, as documented in Pristyn healthcare reviews, emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate type of graft based on individual activity levels and recovery objectives. This approach supports Pristyn Care’s commitment to providing personalized and effective treatment, as echoed in various Pristyn Care reviews.

Comparative Analysis

When comparing the efficacy of Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) and Hamstring Tendon autografts for ACL reconstruction, several factors must be considered, including stability, failure rates, recovery times, and long-term outcomes.

Stability and Failure Rates

The BPTB graft provides better initial stability because it is bone-to-bone healing, which most of the time is essential for athletes or high-demand individuals. Long-term research has shown that BPTB grafts have a slightly higher rate of developing osteoarthritis. Hamstring grafts show excellent stability and slightly more laxity than BPTB grafts, but generally with lower rates of failure compared to other autograft options.

Recovery Times

Patients with hamstring grafts will tend to recover more quickly in the first phase and thus have less postoperative pain that could significantly impact the early steps of rehabilitation. Grafts from the BPTB are more stable but usually cause discomfort for longer durations, as they are harvested invasively.

Long-Term Outcomes

Good long-term functional results and returns to activities have been shown with both types of grafts, although the actual type of graft may impact recovery speed and comfort.

Pristyn Care’s Approach

Pristyn Care’s expert surgeons carefully evaluate the individualized patient’s needs, lifestyle, and activity levels before selecting a graft to be used for that individual patient. This, therefore, fits perfectly into the principle of Pristyn Care with optimal balances for every patient in terms of stability, recovery time, and long-term health of the joint.

Role of Pristyn Care in ACL Reconstruction

Pristyn Care is one of such key players that ensures a smooth state of ACL reconstruction among the patients. The integrated care model involves steps from pre-surgery consults, where patients are evaluated and informed about the graft options, to the most recent surgical techniques that ensure highly accurate outputs. After surgery, follow-up services are administered by Pristyn Care to ensure that the patient is fully supported in their journey to recovery. The approach is fully engineered to minimize anxiety and ensure maximal comfort. Pristyn Care ensures that each patient is informed and taken care of, thereby increasing the satisfaction rate through constant communication and patient education. Their commitment is seen in the fine detail in their work and the accurate customization of every treatment plan to answer the needs of the patient.

Conclusion

It only underlines the distinctive characteristics and some advantages of BPTB and Hamstring Tendon autografts in ACL reconstruction. Each graft presents its own economic, biomechanical, and technical advantages and disadvantages, while the choice may depend on patient factors and lifestyle requirements. Pristyn Care further excels in making this very important decision with guidance from the experts and operability standards to ensure the best recovery. It advises all patients to go to Pristyn Care reviews and consult their specialists to know better about the available treatment options for them. Good Pristyn healthcare from a good pristyn healthcare reviews provider like Pristyn Care is of prime importance for good recovery and a healthy knee for life.

What is GBS Disease All You Need to Know

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) disease is a rare autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its nerves, causing muscle weakness, numbness, and even paralysis. Recent outbreaks in Maharashtra—with 173 suspected cases and 6 deaths reported in February 2025—highlight the urgency of early diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms like tingling in limbs, breathing difficulties, or sudden paralysis require immediate medical attention.

While most patients recover fully with therapies like IV immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis, severe cases may need ventilator support. For those in Pirangut or Mulshi, Pune, accessing a NABH-accredited super-speciality hospital with advanced neurology care ensures timely intervention. If you experience symptoms, consult a trusted neurologist in Pirangut, Mulshi to prevent complications and accelerate recovery.

What Is Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

GBS is a neurological condition that disrupts nerve signals between the brain and muscles. It often starts weeks after a viral/bacterial infection, such as a stomach bug or respiratory illness. While most patients recover fully, some experience long-term weakness or fatigue.

Key Facts:

Affects 1-2 people per 100,000 annually globally.

90% of patients regain walking ability within 6 months.

Requires urgent medical care to prevent complications like breathing difficulties.

Symptoms of GBS:

GBS symptoms progress rapidly—often within days or weeks. Early diagnosis improves recovery chances.

Early Signs (First 1-2 Days):

Tingling or “pins and needles” in toes/fingers.

Weak legs (struggling to climb stairs).

Mild balance issues or muscle cramps.

Progression (Next 2-4 Weeks):

Muscle Weakness: Spreads to arms, face, and chest.

Loss of Reflexes: Knees/ankles stop responding to taps.

Autonomic Symptoms:

Irregular heartbeat or blood pressure spikes.

Bladder/bowel control issues.

Pain: Sharp, shooting nerve pain (worse at night).

Severe Cases (Medical Emergency):

Paralysis of limbs or facial muscles.

Breathing difficulties (requires ventilator).

Choking on saliva due to throat muscle weakness.

Red Flags for Immediate Care:

Sudden inability to walk or stand.

Slurred speech or double vision.

Shortness of breath.

Causes and Risk Factors:

GBS is triggered by an abnormal immune response, often after infections like:

Campylobacter jejuni (foodborne bacteria).

Epstein-Barr virus, Zika virus, or COVID-19.

Recent surgery or vaccinations (rarely).

Who’s at Risk?

Age: Adults over 50.

Gender: Males > Females.

Medical History: Recent diarrhoea/respiratory illness (70% of cases), diabetes, or autoimmune conditions.

Regional Factors: Diet, hygiene, and genetic differences influence susceptibility (e.g., AMAN type is common in Asia)

Diagnosis and Treatment:

Diagnostic Tests:

Nerve Conduction Studies: Measures electrical activity in nerves.

Lumbar Puncture: Checks for elevated spinal fluid protein.

Blood Tests: Rule out infections or electrolyte imbalances.

Treatment Options:

Immunotherapy:

IV Immunoglobulin (IVIG): Antibodies to block harmful immune activity.

Plasma Exchange: Filters blood to remove damaging antibodies.

Supportive Care:

Mechanical ventilation for breathing support.

Pain management (e.g., gabapentin for nerve pain).

Rehabilitation:

Physical therapy to rebuild muscle strength and mobility.

Occupational therapy for daily tasks like dressing or eating.

Preventing Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS):

While GBS cannot be completely prevented, you can lower the risk by:

Avoiding Infections – Wash hands regularly, cook meat thoroughly, and avoid unpasteurized dairy.

Staying Vaccinated – Keep flu, COVID-19, and other vaccines up to date to prevent severe infections.

Managing Infections Early – Treat diarrhoea, respiratory illnesses, and viral fevers promptly.
