MoreThis is a reply to # 1,825,039I see I've made this quite obscure. Sorry. Tired. Let me just say, he went with a small pain, as it were, (but persistent to where he could not sleep) that we intended to verify was not life-threatening, and then come home to deal with ourselves, and do natural things for, and he ended up falling, while in hospital care. (...) Maybe the blessing is, he now has time to HAVE TO devote to him. His body, after all, is the vessel for a lot of good. But he's always worked it like it's a beast of burden. I's guessing that rings true in various ways for a lot of us.

I'd love to hear any words from your natural healing perspective, when you get a minute. It is SO weird to be in a hospital so much...Last time was when my Dad died, over about three weeks. I have to say, people are very kind, on the whole. it's a hugemachine. The whole place rings of mega-money.- Re: wish you were here, Uny--Hip fra... #59694

This is a reply to # 1,825,462oh- did I mention he broke his hip while "under care"--as in, he was in the ER and on the way to having a catscan...
and the orderly told him, "no you don't need your staff" (which he always uses)...
I need to view the bathroom in question...the thing is, maybe it has no bars. No way to catch one's balance. My guy feels he must have grabbed a bar--if there was one--he was very tired, and told them a much....
The hopsital in question prides themselves on being the "safest" in Canada...and has lots of pamphlets about protecting you against falls, etc...
my life is changing, as is his, by the second.

This is a reply to # 1,825,039Hmmm/wow, I see that you've deleted all your posts in this thread (???). You're certainly free to do with your posts as you wish (although when anyone edits/changes a post, the word 'edit' added to the subject line is pretty-much 'standard posting procedure' on CZ). Oh well, I've got all this compiled now, so I'll go ahead and post it 'for the record' and you can review/utilize it as you opt.
My apologies for the delay in response time. It appears I've hurt and/or angered you, and (if so) for that I am truly sorry. Or perhaps you deleted your posts for privacy or personal reasons. Rocky & I are dealing with several serious challenges right now (some might call them 'attacks'); we are both doing the best we can do. Even if I had 16 hours daily to devote to 'giving', it wouldn't be enough to fill everyone's cup...and dealing with this reality in a way that doesn't negatively impact our health & life has been (and will likely continue to be, until the mountaintop is reached :) a very long & arduous 'steep climb'. My newest 'healing mantras' are:
"My first calling is to the triunity health of myself, my beloved husband and our household. This foundation must be strong if I am to avoid causing harm.""I am not responsible for other people's health & needs""I am not responsible for other people's lack of knowledge""I cannot give more than I have to give or do better than my best. From within or without, I will not allow guilt, shame, or frustration to interfere with mine and my husband's foundation & calling."
Regarding my reply below -- it was done in stages as I had the time and altered/edited many different times as you continued posting new information...and it was completed without having your posts to reference. I deleted several (very) long sections that I'd compiled initially after I saw your later posts. So please forgive any incontinuity and/or things I missed. As always, please remember this IS a 'teaching forum' - and my posts are for 'everyone that will eventually read them'. I may include info that you already know or are aware of, but it's not because I'm being condescending or think you'd don't know them :) Onward to my 'just completed' response...I think I understand the basics of 'what happened':
You & your partner went to the ER to 'rule out' or identify possible kidney issues; a sprained muscle in left-lumbar region was identified; sometime during the ER visit, your partner fell and broke his hip. MDs suggested & partner opted to have (what sounds like) a total hip replacement (titanium ball/socket) and now your partner is home on Morphine, Gravol (aka Dimenhydrinate) & Warfarin (aka Coumadin). Your partner had no food/water for 48 hours by mouth (I assume he was hydrated via IV, and possibly had IV "nutrition"...the junk they pump in via IV is worthy of an entire post unto itself).--from more recent post-- a CT scan was performed either before or after the fall/accident.I'm so very sorry all this happened the way it did :(I'm much more versed on avoiding allopathic medicine & butchery than dealing with the results (commonly 'best case scenario/worst case scenario'). Many times once one has allowed a carving & 'parts replacement', one is basically 'at their mercy' - because the 'baseline fundamental concepts of natural healing' and our body don't apply to unnatural implantations & procedures. The body responds unnaturally (especially in the 'pain department), and synthetic pain-killers like morphine become necessary for relief (but morphine would rarely be necessary when the body suffers natural trauma). But that doesn't mean I can't find you lots of valid information and make suggestions of things that should be very beneficial (without causing any more harm).Firstly, we always need to check & double-check to make sure the allopaths are playing by their own rule book. They consistently do not. And these 'medical errors' are a strong percentage of why we have to deal with 'modern medicine being the first leading cause of death', in order to preserve & ensure our health :(So, starting with the generally accepted reasons for one to have a hip-replacement (followed by causes of scissor-gait, and contraindications for hip-replacement), here's the basics of their own 'rule book' (all the info pasted throughout/below is from various 'trusted' allopathic sites). I have underlined parts I feel are (or may be) significant:Common Candidates for Hip ReplacementAlthough individuals from many different demographics may require total hip replacement at some point in their life, there are two groups of patients who are the most common candidates for these operations. The majority of patients requesting hip replacements are individuals with advanced forms of arthritis that cause considerable pain and loss of mobility. Most of these patients require the operation relatively late in life. Other individuals who typically require total hip replacement include those who have sustained a serious injury to the hip region, such as a hip fracture that has caused irreparable joint damage.Of course, there's no such thing as "irreparable joint damage"...the body is capable of restoring/repairing any natural damage.Since you didn't mention a history of arthritis, then the hip-replacement was performed because your partner must have (allegedly?) sustained what they call 'irreparable joint damage' during the fall; or it's possible your partner had little/no joint damage (but in their exuberance & "kindness" :::eyeroll::: they opted to 'do your partner a favor'). Hopefully all the information below was thoroughly explained & discussed and your partner had 'full information & disclosure' before opting for this 'procedure'.***As far as 'scissor gait', there seems to be many causes (virtually none having anything specifically to do with the hip joint - except arthrogryposis, which typically is not isolated to just one joint/location). Please note how many of these have to do with nerve damage, neurological or neuromuscular disorders.Spastic and scissors gait:-
Cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
-
Cerebral palsy
-
Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy (a problem with the vertebrae in the neck)
-
Liver failure
-
Multiple sclerosis
-
Spinal cord tumor
-
Syphilitic meningomyelitis
-
Cerebral palsy
Conditions associated with a scissor gait-
Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy (a problem with the vertebrae in the neck)
-
other forms of Cerebral palsy
***Contraindications for hip replacement surgery are commonly listed as:This surgery is usually not recommended for:1.Very young patients2.Current hip infection3.People with poor skin coverage around the hip4.Paralyzed quadriceps muscles5.Nerve disease affecting the hip6.with severely limiting mental dysfunction7.Serious physical disease (terminal disease, such as metastatic cancer)8.Extreme obesity (weight over 300 pounds)CONTRAINDICATIONS
You are not be a candidate for total hip replacement if your doctor determines that you have any of the following conditions: Infection, sepsis and osteomyelitis. You may not be a candidate for total hip replacement if your doctor determines that you exhibit any of the following: 1) uncooperative patient or patient with neurologic disorders who are incapable of following directions, 2) osteoporosis, 3) metabolic disorders which may impair bone formation, 4) osteomalacia, 5) distant foci of infections which may spread to the implant site, 6) rapid joint destruction, marked bone loss or bone resorption apparent on roentgenogram, 7) vascular insufficiency, muscular atrophy, or neuromuscular disease.***So, we now can easily generalize that their rules indicate that if one has any of the nerve, neurological or neuromuscular diseases that causes scissor-gait, or there's muscular atrophy (likely with scissor-gait issues) or vascular insufficiency (very likely in all of us, but even more likely if they prescribed Warfarin/Coumadin), then hip-replacement is contraindicated.POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS-
Material sensitivity reactions. Implantation of foreign material in tissues can result in histological reactions involving various sizes of macrophages and fibroblasts. The clinical significance of this effect is uncertain, as similar changes may occur as a precursor to or during the healing process. Particulate wear debris and discoloration from metallic and polyethylene components of joint implants may be present in adjacent tissue or fluid. It has been reported that wear debris may initiate a cellular response resulting in osteolysis or osteolysis may be a result of loosening of the implant.
-
Early or late postoperative, infection, and allergic reaction.
-
Intraoperative bone perforation or fracture may occur, particularly in the presence of poor bone stock caused by osteoporosis, bone defects from previous surgery, bone resorption, or while inserting the device.
-
Loosening or migration of the implants can occur due to loss of fixation, trauma, malalignment, bone resorption, or excessive activity.
-
Periarticular calcification or ossification, with or without impediment of joint mobility.
-
Inadequate range of motion due to improper selection or positioning of components.
-
Undesirable shortening of limb.
-
Dislocation and subluxation due to inadequate fixation and improper positioning. Muscle an fibrous tissue laxity can also contribute to these conditions.
-
Fatigue fracture of component can occur as a result of loss of fixation, strenuous activity, malalignment, trauma, non-union, or excessive weight.
-
Fretting and crevice corrosion can occur at interfaces between components.
-
Wear and/or deformation of articulating surfaces.
-
Trochanteric avulsion or non-union as a result of excess muscular tension, early weight bearing, or inadequate reattachment.
-
Problems of the knee or ankle of the affected limb or contralateral limb aggravated by leg length discrepancy, too much femoral medialization or muscle deficiencies.
-
Postoperative bone fracture and pain.
-
Metal on metal articulating surfaces have limited clinical history. Although mechanical testing demonstrates that metal on metal articulating surfaces produce a relatively low amount of particles, the total amount of particulate produced remains undetermined. Elevated metal ion levels have been reported with metal on metal articulating surfaces. Because of the limited clinical and preclinical experience, the long-term biological effects of the particulate and metal ions are unknown.
I would definitely read through this article completely and as soon as possible, as it describes many possible complications: http://consensus.nih.gov/1982/1982HipReplacement033html.htm***Regarding the chemicals they have your partner taking (Morphine, Gravol (aka Dimenhydrinate) & Warfarin (aka Coumadin)...The information pasted below is from the site eHealthMe. This site compiles actual reports made to the FDA on adverse effects. The FDA officially claims that only one in one hundred adverse effects is ever reported. So in order to have a clear picture of the numbers below, you should multiply them by 100.Morphine is (obviously) for pain; Gravol/Dimenhydrinate is for nausea (and sometimes to induce sleep). Both are addictive. Warfarin/Coumadin is a blood thinner (most of us know it as 'rat poison', as that's why/how it was created).On Jun, 19, 2011: 32,671 people who reported to have side effects when taking Morphine are

section/information isn't specifically "for" you (and certainly not "at" you)....unless of course, you need it to be :)Basically, always & always again, 'First, do no harm' is an imperative health (and universal) law that must be heeded to ensure health & wellness. Our natural body IS capable of overcoming any natural trauma or disease, but when we add 'modern medicine' we add the unnatural traumas, volatile poisons, radiation & many other inhumane 'therapies' that can make it impossible for our body's healing schematics to 'overcome'. Perhaps your partner (and the 'new paradigm' you mentioned), will include wanting to k-n-o-w know all this. So below is my list of what I would (or would have not) done in order to ensure my body was not subjected to unnatural harm & why.--If I felt I had kidney issues, I would have utilized natural kidney herbs/cleanses and natural healing methodology first (certainly 'no harm' could come from that). If that relieved my symptoms, I would have done it again (and or researched what more I needed to do) to ensure a complete healing. If it didn't work, I would have known my symptoms were very unlikely kidney related - and gone on to the next likely cause.--If I were to enter a hospital (highly unlikely, but possible), I would be armed with the truth - that virtually every staff member was educated & trained by the pharmaceutical cartel & PTB (directly or indirectly). And no matter how nice, kind, respectful or well-meaning they were as individual human-spirits, that their training (and the laws & licenses under which they practice), ensure that the drugs/chemicals, procedures & protocols (right down to the food & water) is going to harm my body/triunity at various levels while I am in their "care". :::eyeroll:::--A CT scan would be totally out of the question unless my life was in danger (I'd pretty-much have to be unconscious). There are other tests capable of identifying disease (those that were used before the invention of CT scans), and I would have insisted on being informed as to what those tests were, and making a choice for the safest imaging procedure, with my physician's input. Some CT's have mutating radiation equivalent to being only 7 miles away from ground zero of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki blasts. All the links below are 'must reads'.Warning: Imaging Tests Can Damage Kidneys, Increase Stroke and Heart Att... Mercola (be sure to scan through these!) Search Results: CT Scan--Before opting to have the 'temple of my spirit' carved into and have unnatural parts inserted, I would have (at the very bottom line), have had it proven to me that my hip bone/socket was totally dissolved or destroyed - and if I didn't subject my body to it, I would unable to walk or ambulate. (Dr. Christopher was able to assist a woman to actually 'regrow' spinal vertebrae that had been dissolved by bone cancer). I understand others may think that's an unrealistic 'bottom line'. Okay :::shoulder shrug::: but what is NOT an unrealistic bottom line is to FIRST insist and ensure they follow their own rules for 'doing no harm'.I obviously don't know what causes your partner's scissor-gait issues (and I couldn't intuit that the cause has been identified from your posts). With nerve/neurological and neuromuscular disease (and vascular insufficiency) being strong contraindications for hip-replacement, and nerve/neurological & neuromuscular disease being the common cause of scissor-gait, it appears there's a possibility that harm has been done (certainly risk has been taken). Because if they have not clearly identified the cause of the scissor-gait issues, they may have done this carving & unnatural inserting of metal when their own rules tell them not to do it.So, at the very least (since it only takes 15-30 minutes to do a search on any computer to learn the 'rules' & contraindications for any protocol, drug or surgery)...I would have definitely taken that amount of time to make sure they were following their own guidelines for safety before I allowed them to start slicing into my flesh.--Surgery for a broken bone in a hospital - oh, c'mon Uny, how dangerous could it really be? Check out this thread http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=549128 - ...what isn't posted is the 'rest of the story', which is that her mother died in the hospital after suffering from their brutality.And that's basically the things I would have addressed in order to ensure no harm (or minimal harm) was done. Of course, I'd be substituting 'herbs for drugs' when/if possible, and following the post-op care/instructions and physical therapy protocol 'to the letter' (as long as they were safe & logical).At this point, normally I would conclude with 'suggestions'. But since you've deleted your posts, you might not want them. Besides, I'd need more information to be able to offer 'more than the basics'. So, if you'd like to get me all the post-op & PT info (along with the reason/s this surgery was opted for), along with the data regarding the cause (or possibly causes) of the scissor-gait, and a more complete history...I'll be happy to 'do my best' to post my suggestions as soon as I can.The largest percentage of hip-replacements are successful, at least when they're 'done by their rule book'. It is my sincerest and most heart-felt hope & prayer that your partner recovers fully and experiences no more harm than he already has.Healthiest of blessings,Unyquity- Re: "Here I am"...but now you're not... chirontherainbowbridge

Hi Uny--
I don't know when he will be back home. I feel quite disoriented, and have a hard time to relax, unless I am at the hospital--which of course is not relaxation,but vigilance.
It is hospital and rehab...and and and. It's a lot like a prison experience, and last night was the worst, with two men, he and his 'roommate' reduced to tears from the way they were being treated. Now, finally, we are connecting with a patient relations person, and then a social worker.
This epic started on Monday night. It's now Monday again, and this is the first I've seen a message from you. I'm not meaning to sound accusatory. I'm still in shock, and just very depleted. As it happens, what you've now given me is way too much information for me right now. Maybe I'll have time later today to read it. One thing I've discovered that happens lately is, if there is a nurse who is what I find to be lacking in the genuine qualities of a nurse, as the one last night and the night before, it is so upsetting that I cannot make sense out of written words--I mean, I can't actually figure out something like a phone card, or a long post, or a sign with instructions.
I deleted my posts after you did not respond (either)to a PM. I honestly felt I'd hung my life out there for many others to see, and then become kind of 'invisible' suddenly, or so it seemed; and not understanding that, felt I had to pull it all back in.
My last post said I couldn't understand the lack of reply from you, and I realize by then I was being wimpery. So I just removed them. Not angry, hurt, and in that weird hospital zone. Please know, although it must have sounded initially like I was asking you to figure the whole thing out for me, AND hold my hand too, I recognized quite soon that there isn't much "Natural Healing" can do while the hospital has him in their grip.
That is, at least until he gets out of the strange prison of the hard narcotics. I can't battle blood thinners with green leafy veg. etc.. :-) (wan smile) I'm doing the best I can with maintaining perspective, staying calm, juice and fruit and so on. And trying not to leap into future speculation. Just one moment at a time.
What might be simple for others is not, for him, and quite frankly, I worried that he might not survive the whole thing--partly because of the shock, partly because of the whole way it happened, partly because the nervous system has been very traumatized, and then the prognosis is overwhelming.
This was not elective surgery, but negligence.
It has been, and continues to be a bit of a nightmare for us. We did not want to get into a negative mind state over the "how" of it while he was facing this surgery, and just waiting on no food and no water for a slot in the OR. There was no "suggestion" on the part of anyone there, nothing to 'agree' to. (This is exactly why I never want to go to a hospital--it's like a terrible joke--you go in for a pulled muscle and come out with your life altered entirely. The doctor informed me/us at one and the same moment that he had fallen (!!!in their care!!!) and that he HAD to have the hip replacement. The ball had broken. That he'd be 'up the next day'...but that's in the best case scenario. It is a complicated thing...He should never have been left without his walking staff, and they knew that--and the hospital is actually in serious error there.
That's all for now.
Thank you for replying. Later, when I'm back home tonight, I'll read what you wrote. Meanwhile, I'll just hang onto
love. That's really "all you need"

I wanted to jump in here and respond to this statement:
I recognized quite soon that there isn't much "Natural Healing" can do while the hospital has him in their grip.
I too have been faced with having a loved one in the hospital and wanted to offer you some advice and let you know that there are things you can do now. I hope you will find some help in the information below and don't forget to take care of yourself during this stressful time.
I know that it is difficult to focus on reading anything right not, but I wanted to get this posted so it would be here for you when you are able to digest and absorb information.

A few suggestions you CAN do WHILE someone is in the hospital:
- Water -- Make sure they are getting plenty of pure water -- reverse osmosis or distilled.
- Nutrition -- Super Food http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1664125#i, slippery elm http://healingtools.tripod.com/slpelmgrl.html, fresh juices http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1635703#i , ACV Bombs http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1582029#i .

Thanks Water!
I was a little concerned about giving him my mega-juice with the kale, etc. after reading about how vitamin K is an antagonist to the blood thinners. I was nervous about possible complications, since I know him better than anyone, and his unusual 'condition, prior to this fall. The hospital is, sadly, a well-oiled machine, as one male nurse told us, basically telling us not to get in its way. Too easy to fall into. Literally! ugh.
It is only today, a week on, (thank you, thank you, healing "time": we are entering a new cycle) that we have been connected to people who will dialogue with us. Today was much better. Before, it was just emergency-mindedness, one step after another.
We've been doing what we can manage, so far. I'm aware of all the stuff you post, but it's good to reread it. And now he is weaning himself off the heavy meds, and we are going 'to the top', with our story, which the patient relations person today was very concerned over.
Initially, when I would have loved to flood him with the good stuff, he was on no water, no food---for a critical 48 hours: the no water was hard, along with the heavy drugs.
The worst part of all this I think has been that we did not prepare for this. I mean,most patients on the same ward were there for elective surgery. So-called. But this surgery was hospital-caused. All of it has been. It's just bizarre. To put it mildly. But, I'm determined to make the best of it--in every sense.
I'll go through all the links you gave.
thanks again

This is a reply to # 1,826,343"I'm much more versed on avoiding allopathic medicine & butchery than dealing with the results (commonly 'best case scenario/worst case scenario'). "
Exactly what I realized, as I continued to post and not hear anything from you. In a way, my posting was refelcting the need to just document in the vaguest way what was going on, on the site that I feel the most affinity with, and *to* the person I feel a big respect for.
Now it's been almost a week exactly, to when all this began
and I am beginning to feel much better. Just tonight.
I too was sharing with the idea this is a learning/teaching forum, but as I got not response to acknowledge I had posted I began to feel the need to be more private. This is likely more energetic than 'physical'. Anyway, I was hurt, bewildered I guess, but know fully, it is not your responsibility to fix anything...
I really really felt like I needed to hear three words.
I mean, just three. or five...
Sometimes I think you do way too much, and in a strange way, it adds up to too little. Which works against *you*.
I mean that in the most gentle way possible for you to hear, because I care for you. I am sorry now that I deleted all the posts, and didn't save them. I thought I might just not even come back to this forum--I mean, I was thinking, something happened and our paths have separated. I was doingokay, sortof, with that, but I hope you can 'dig' that I was overwhelmed. And forgive my skewed and needy perceptions.
I am so sorry to hear you are going through tough stuff...
