    Numerous bugs: broken and/or missing links to forums (which then can be reached by more circuitous routes), the top of my page is above the top of my screen, I've lost the ability to "like" etc, the only threads I see on this tech section of the forum are ones I started. Some things look...

    Ladies and gentlemen: I made it! Surgery abot 11:15 this morning, twelve hours ago. Early hours rocky because I kept vomiting up all my real food, water, and....oxycodone. We finally managed to keep it down with one more anti-yurk med and tiny bite/sips of saltines and flat gingerale. So a...

    Now it really is the Bonesmart app :(

    My iPhone SE started using enormous amounts of battery power about 10 days ago. 2-3 days ago when I opened the Bonesmart app, I got exactly the same message I posted in a previous thread, to the effect that Bonesmart may be slowing down my phone, and the developer needs to update it. I persisted...

    MIL, 91, shoulder bone on bone

    Hi all! My poor 91-yr-old mother-in-law's shoulder has been getting steadily more painful. OS said today, bone on bone. Neither surgery nor NSAIDS are possible. She's barely mobile, 24/7 caregivers, and has refused an injection (so far). OS says ice. (Good boy!) And move it around frequently...

    interesting broken link

    When I come here these days it's on my iPhone running 8.0.2. Thereon, in the Hip Pre-op Area, there is a sticky post from Poppet called "Healing timeframe phases & processes", posted 11/9/13. It contains two links, the second of which takes me to a knee pre-op area post by kneil13, posted...

    Forum booting me off?

    Help? Twice in the last 20 minutes I have run into the "error: you must be logged on to do that" notice. I'm on a laptop, wireless home network, Verizon FiOS, Windows7, Firefox latest (I assume!), and this has never happened before in the middle of a session. Only new thing on my computer that I...

    Hey tech crew (sorry I don't remember your names right now)-- I would like for all my alerts to show up here on the forum only, not in my email, as I can't get my Gmail filter to work for me (probably b/c I'm not running Chrome). Unfortunately I've messed around with it here so much, and have...

    Foot care after anteriorTHR?

    I'm not "here" yet (and am very new), but I want to be prepared. Surgery in May, which is prime time for me to have, ugh, athlete's foot. And rough, cracked, infected-if-not-cared-for heels. Does anybody have any hints on some gadget that will let me do fiddly stuff at that distance? I've...
