pretty much all plants do except the ones that have Lost the ability to do so, when I was taking my arbuscular mycorrhizal class we talked about how the majority of plants have the signalling pathways.  the current theory in mycology is that the mushrooms brought the cyanobacteria to land, rather than the fungi coming later.  making worts and slime molds the old form and vascular plants the derivatives. there is a lot to learn though, we’re barely touching the surface of what fungi do, and we don’t understand the full mechanism of arbuscular myccorrhiza

trying to discover how complete our knowledge of which plants form mycorrhizal associations is

Choosing the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR: What You Need to Know

Hip replacement surgery is a life-altering procedure for individuals suffering from debilitating hip pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. This surgery has helped millions of people regain their independence and return to an active lifestyle. However, the success of a hip replacement largely depends on choosing the right surgeon and understanding the entire process—from the initial diagnosis to recovery. In this blog, we’ll explore what hip replacement surgery entails, who may need it, the different types of procedures available, and how to find the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR.

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint with artificial components, typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. This procedure is most commonly performed on patients with severe arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, as well as those who have suffered significant injury to the hip joint.

The surgery aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall function of the hip joint, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

There are several types of hip replacement surgeries, each tailored to the patient’s specific condition and needs:

Total Hip Replacement (THR): In a total hip replacement, both the ball (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants. This is the most common type of hip replacement and is highly effective for patients with extensive joint damage.

Partial Hip Replacement (PHR): Also known as hemiarthroplasty, this procedure involves replacing only the ball of the hip joint. It is typically recommended for patients with a fractured femoral head but an otherwise healthy hip socket.

Hip Resurfacing: This procedure is less invasive than a total hip replacement and involves capping the femoral head with a metal prosthesis instead of removing it. Hip resurfacing is often an option for younger, more active patients with healthy bone structure.

Revision Hip Replacement: In cases where a previous hip replacement has failed or worn out over time, a revision hip replacement is performed. This involves replacing the old prosthesis with a new one.

Who Needs Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is generally recommended for individuals who have:

Severe Hip Pain: Persistent hip pain that interferes with daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or sitting down, may indicate the need for surgery.

Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the hip joint, even with the help of a cane or walker, can be a sign that the joint has deteriorated to the point where surgery is necessary.

Failed Conservative Treatments: When other treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or injections, fail to provide relief, hip replacement surgery may be the next step.

Hip Deformity: Structural deformities in the hip joint that cause pain and limited function may require surgical intervention.

Hip Joint Damage: Extensive damage to the hip joint due to arthritis, injury, or avascular necrosis may necessitate a hip replacement.

Finding the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Delhi/NCR

Choosing the best hip replacement surgeon is crucial for ensuring a successful surgery and a smooth recovery. Here are some tips on how to find the right surgeon in Delhi/NCR:

Research and Referrals: Start by researching hip replacement surgeons in Delhi/NCR. Seek referrals from your primary care physician, orthopedic specialists, or friends and family who have undergone hip replacement surgery. Look for surgeons with a strong reputation for success in hip replacement procedures.

Check Credentials: Verify the surgeon’s qualifications, certifications, and experience. The best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR will have extensive experience performing hip replacements and will be board-certified in orthopedic surgery.

Consider Specialization: Some orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint replacement surgeries, including hips. It’s beneficial to choose a surgeon who has a dedicated focus on hip replacements, as they will have more expertise and a better understanding of the procedure.

Hospital Affiliation: The hospital where the surgery is performed plays a significant role in the success of the operation. Look for hospitals in Delhi/NCR that have state-of-the-art facilities, advanced technology, and a dedicated team for post-operative care. Top hospitals often have specialized joint replacement centers.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials: Reading patient reviews and testimonials can provide insights into the surgeon’s skill, bedside manner, and overall patient experience. Positive feedback from former patients is a strong indicator of the surgeon’s competence.

Consultation: Schedule consultations with the shortlisted surgeons to discuss your condition and treatment options. A good surgeon will take the time to explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. They should also be open to answering all your questions and addressing any concerns you may have.

Second Opinion: If you have any doubts or want to explore other options, don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. It’s important to feel confident and comfortable with the surgeon you choose for your hip replacement.

The Hip Replacement Procedure

Understanding what happens during hip replacement surgery can help alleviate some of the anxiety associated with the procedure. Here’s an overview:

Pre-Surgery Preparation: Before the surgery, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical exams, imaging tests (like X-rays or MRI), and preoperative blood tests. You’ll also meet with an anesthesiologist to discuss anesthesia options, which may include general or regional anesthesia.

Surgery: On the day of the surgery, you’ll be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision to access the hip joint, remove the damaged bone and cartilage, and replace them with the artificial implants. The incision is then closed, and the hip is bandaged.

Recovery: After surgery, you’ll spend a few days in the hospital under observation. Physical therapy will begin soon after the surgery to promote mobility and strengthen the hip. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on your overall health and the type of hip replacement performed.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

The recovery process after hip replacement surgery is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome. Here are some key aspects of post-operative care:

Pain Management: Your surgeon will prescribe pain medications to manage discomfort during the initial recovery phase. It’s important to take them as directed to manage pain effectively.

Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your hip. A physical therapist will guide you through exercises designed to aid your recovery.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are necessary to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding high-impact activities, and following your surgeon’s recommendations will help extend the life of your hip implant and improve your overall well-being.

Hip replacement surgery can dramatically improve your quality of life, especially if you’ve been suffering from chronic hip pain and limited mobility. Finding the best hip replacement surgeon in Delhi/NCR is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome. By following the tips outlined in this blog, you can make an informed decision and embark on your journey toward a pain-free, active life.

If you’re considering hip replacement surgery, don’t hesitate to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to discuss your options and take the first step toward a healthier, more mobile future.

Hi there - I absolutely love your work!!!! Just on a roll with WIPs I’ve enjoyed and bookmarked and came across your Paging Dr Sharma and has a chuckle again at Anthony and his fluffy crazy cats. I’m curious is that a piece you’ll revisit? No biggie for me as I reread all your other work and just love them so much (currently obsessed with The Yellow Tulips of Texas) thought I’d ask 😊

Hiya! Thanks for such a lovely ask :) I’m glad you enjoyed Paging Dr. Sharma! Thats one I do plan on revisiting and I do need to finish. I was at a bit of a standstill just plotwise hence the delay in finishing the WIP, but I am reminding myself the only way out is through. Don’t have a timeline on when I’d update it but hopefully soon!

Thanks!

[wonkyreads]

I used to write reviews here instead of just Goodreads. I’m hoping to going back to that, but to be honest, I moved last year and don’t have space for my books. This means I stopped taking pictures for the BPCs, so I stopped taking pictures of my recent reads, so posting here felt pointless. I like ranting here, though. Next year, I will attempt to keep that up.

For this year, take an end of the year top worst and best. (And keep in mind these are obviously just my opinions! This list also doesn’t reflect the books I DNF’d because I don’t consider them read personally.)

Top 10 Worst Reads of 2022

10. The Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel

- So this is a sci-fi trilogy where a girl accidentally discovers a giant mecha hand buried deep underground and grows up to be a scientist and studies/digs up all of these mecha pieces. The first book is genuinely good, but the arguments and plot lines the author decided to take with the rest of the series progressively pissed me off more and more, though. Not a bad series, just ultimately not one I enjoyed.

9. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

- I feel I’m gonna piss a fair amount of people off with this one, but it won’t be the last time in this list. With how popular this book is online I don’t feel the need to explain what the plot here is. The writing of this book was beautiful, definitely, it was the content I couldn’t stand. I’m a fan of angst. This was not angst. This was throwing a shelf’s worth of terrible things into a sack and shaking it up to see what happened. This was actively attempting to make people feel things in a way that felt so over the top and transparent that I found myself hardly caring at all. To me, this reeks of romanticizing queer trauma and just trauma in general. I’m just not here for it. Show me redemption or healing, they’re harder to write anyway since it seemed all Yanagihara cared about was the mechanics behind the story and not the story itself.

8. The Kite Runner by Khalid Hosseini

- This book is kind of a modern classic and it’s just… I’m not sure how I was supposed to sympathize with the main character. This is the story of Amir and Hassan, two boys in Afghanistan in the 70’s. Hassan’s father works for Amir’s, but the book spends a large amount of time trying to guilt you into feeling bad for Amir, our main character. That’s kind of the whole plot (without spoilers) as I remember it if I’m being honest. The writing was fine and I’ve liked Hosseini’s books in the past, I just disliked the main character so much it kind of ruined everything. I disliked feeling guilty for not liking him. It all kind of got in the way of the message for me.

7. The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

- Hannah’s a bodyguard and Jake’s a down-to-earth movie star who seems to have a stalker problem. I adore the concept, but I think my main problem with this book is that I hyped it up for myself and told myself I’d love it. That and the premise felt like a promise of some kind of danger and by the time anything actually dangerous happened it was so ridiculous I laughed at it. It’s the over-the-top kind of romance I tend to not like, though. I fully admit to skimming the epilogue because I also kind of hate romance novels that do that.

6. We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange

- Sunday Brennan gets into a drunk driving accident and then must swallow her pride and move back to New York where her large Irish Catholic family pretends they don’t need her either. This book is about family secrets, but all I really remember about it is that it did this really bad, gimmicky thing where every chapter ended with the same exact sentence, usually dialogue, that the next chapter began with. When it’s done a couple times to show that we’re in the same scene we just left only in a different perspective, or better yet the two perspectives don’t hear the dialogue the same way, it’s fine. But it was every single chapter. Every one of them. I’m also super picky about domestic drama books like this. Hard pass for me.

5. A History of Wild Places by Shae Earnshaw

- Honestly, I’m not sure how to some this up without spoilers so I’ll just say it’s a cult-y mystery told in multiple time lines. This is the second book I’ve read by Earnshaw and both were promising starts with disappointing developments for me. For me, the book was too predictable to be satisfying and, worse, often it felt like the most boring option was constantly being chosen. The concept was originally very promising, but the closer I got to the end and realized the twist wasn’t going to be fun or interesting, the more reading the book started to feel like a chore.

4. There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

- Oof. I don’t know how I picked this book up and didn’t expect it to be a teen slasher. I’ll watch a slasher any day of the week (including the movie made from this book), but reading them is kind of boring. You know the tropes, so when they’re followed it’s anticlimactic. I also found some of the character interactions hard to believe, which didn’t help raise my opinion any. I’m just harsh on thrillers and any books involving “small towns.”

3. Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

- When his BFF Eddie, and definitely not his boyfriend, dies of apparent suicide, Andrew moves into Eddie’s old house with Eddie’s friends to find proof that Eddie’d been killed. There’s also some supernatural stuff and dark academia themes. This is another opinion I feel will make enemies, and it’s one I’ve actually posted here before. I read this book so early in the year that I’ve forgotten most of the specifics about it. What I remember disliking the most, though, was along the same lines as A Little Life. So much felt like it was just there to romanticize queer pain and what was left outside of that was a disappointingly slow mystery that didn’t really surprise or scare me. I think the conversations this book attempted to have were interesting, I just also think it failed to pull it all off. I didn’t believe or feel these characters. I didn’t care for how much it read like Ronan (of The Raven Boys) fanfic. I was consistently annoyed with smart characters avoiding the plot line or making idiotic choices. Also, I’m still traumatized by how obsessed literally everyone was with Eddie, I’m genuinely avoiding books using that name now. All around, absolutely wasn’t for me.

2. Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma

- Romance is not my genre. Romance that is so over-the-top crazy unrealistic is super not my genre. This book follows Kareena and Dr. Dil in a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew. Kareena is supposed to get married before her younger sister and her family is pressuring her, also her dad is selling her childhood home. Dr. Dil hosts a TV show and wants to raise money for his community clinic. I disliked Dr. Dil so, so much and Kareena was so inconsistent. The book felt so unedited and contradictory that I was constantly annoyed with it. The balance between show and tell was nonexistent; you can’t tell me what these characters are and not back it up and expect me to like them or believe them. People’s reactions were crazy over-the-top sometimes and if I have to ask of people actually act like that in real life, I’m already frustrated. I adore The Taming of the Shrew. I could watch 10 Things I Hate About You on repeat. I wanted to love this book so, so badly and was so utterly disappointed in what I got.

And last, but certainly least:

1. Verity by Colleen Hoover

- Verity was one of my most recent reads (I, regrettably, listened to it while icing sugar cookies for Christmas) and it follows Lowen attempting to write the end to a book series she’s never read before by snooping through the original authors memoir manuscripts. Or something. I have never read a Colleen Hoover book before and bought this one through audible years ago because everyone seemed to love it so much. This book has a 4.4 rating on Goodreads. I would just like to know how. Honestly. Talk about unbelievable characters! There were so many unnecessary gratuitous sex scenes in this book and just.. laughable suspense. A lot of the “twists” in this book were so predictable, but I do have a few questions; namely, how the fuck did Jeremy’s milquetoast ass get two women to become so obsessed with him so fast? Also, do people actually think like Lowen does? Holy shit. No really, I have SO many questions and I’m fairly certain none of them are the kind Hoover intended for me to have. I could go on for hours but I’m attempting to avoid spoilers and also it’s a fairly loved book and I don’t want to verge into the territory of yucking someone’s yum or anything, I just genuinely don’t understand. 4.4! Jesus Christ!

Sharma mai chawal dho rhi thi or mere dimag m ye khyal aya ki kya kabhi koi asa din ni gya jab pura sansar khush ho sab hase ho maukurae ho

Kuki ab to tyohar par bhi logo k rape ho rhe h log mar Rey h un dino m bhi tab Puri duniya khush rehni chahiye :)

Itni gehri baatein kaise keh jaati ho... Hum bhi Holi par soch rhe the... Aaj sare log khush hai par main nhi hu... Phir realise hua sirf India me log khush hai... Phir laga nhi, pura India bhi khush nhi hai... Phir hum soche saari duniya kab khush hogi? New year pe? Nahi koi na koi to dukhi hota hi hai... Duniya mayus hone ke kayi wajah degi... Par khushi to chhote chhote lamho me hume hi dhundni padegi... Jaise yahan. Hum khush hote hai jab apne chote se dabbe me Tumblr ki ye choti se duniya kholti hu, tab khush hoti hu main... Jab exam khatam hone baad jaakar gaale par jaati hu apne un dosto ke jinko shyaad in exams ke baad kabhi na dekhu, khush hoti hu us waqt. Jab school me se kisiko msg aata hai Sharma samjha de yaar, kal fail ho jayenge, halki si muskaan aajati hai chehre par. Jab kitchen me mere khane ki thali saji milti hai accha lagta hai. Jab subah bed ke bagal me ek paani ki bottle rakhi milti hai, dil sacchi hasta hai. Jab meri kisi stupid si baat par stupid sa reply aata hai ek second ke liye hi sahi par khushi hoti hai! Aur shayad in choti khushiyo me hi zindagi hai.

Okay jyada emotional ho gye. Modiji saari duniya ko khush to nhi kar sakte hum, par apne logon ko aisi choti choti khushiyan zarur de sakte hai... To kyu na choti baato se hi shuru kare?

Be the change you want to see in the world

Aisa hi kuch tha na wo qoute

Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma

Kareena Mann dreams of having a love story like her parents, but she prefers restoring her classic car to swiping right on dating apps. When her father announces he’s selling her mother’s home, Kareena makes a deal with him: he’ll gift her the house if she can get engaged in four months. Her search for her soulmate becomes impossible when her argument with Dr. Prem Verma, host of The Dr. Dil Show, goes viral. Now the only man in her life is the one she doesn’t want.

Dr. Prem Verma is dedicated to building a local community health center, but he needs to get donors with deep pockets. The Dr. Dil Show was doing just that, until his argument with Kareena went viral, and he’s left short changed. That’s when Kareena’s meddling aunties presented him with a solution: convince Kareena he’s her soulmate and they’ll fund his clinic.  

Even though they have conflicting views on love-matches and arranged-matches, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he begins to believe she’s the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. But for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.
