about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

Recently, while playing at gym, i sprained and dislocated my knee. I sprained it in 3 places. The doctor said I need surgery, so does anyone know how much it is going to hurt?

Im so scared=/

This will depend on the type of repair, and the type of surgery you are going to have. Arthroscopic surgery is less painful, than a full length incisicion. If you are in pain now from the injury, it's not likely that it will be much worse after surgery. Just do everything the Dr tells you to do, and after 3-4 days the pain will be much less.
