Good evening @karibo999, it is great to meet you. I don't think I have ever met anyone from Norway. However, I live in Central MN and many folks are from Scandinavia.

You have asked me about the surgeries I have had. All of my surgeries except for my Caesarian with my daughter, have been orthopedic surgeries. It started when I was 13.....fell doing a roller skate spin with a young man. Long recovery and ankle surgery 4 years later. Let's see....3 spine surgeries. I was only 29 for the first one......then a laminectomy a few years later. Good yoga instructors and personal trainers have made that series of surgeries last a lifetime. I spent years trekking (12-15 miles a day) in Europe, Canada, and the US. Several toe surgeries after tripping over sprinklers and puppy dogs. Four shoulder surgeries including a reverse replacement. Fell down the mountain and had several elbow fractures. Are you still with me.....then came the TKRs (Total Knee Replacements).....the final one just last year. Thumb joints have been replaced, and to top it off had thoracic spine surgery with titanium blocks to hold everything together after a dangerous fall. Was rear-ended several times which led to some surgeries and the loss of my infant.

Is there anything else that would help you with our current issues? You mention incompetence in your country. You know...we have that issue in America. And remember....technology makes these medical procedures much better all the time. My thanks go to France where reverse shoulder surgery was developed.

Do you have other specific issues? I will help where I can if they have been part of my medical life.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
