Question
I am an obese person (300lbs) with a damaged right hip joint. Use a Jazzy XL power chair most of the time but it is difficult to transport. I am seeking a back up wheelchair to use for shopping and indoors which is lightweight and probably 22"-24" seat width to maneuver inside the house, and foldable and light enough to lift into my small vehicle to use to shop in stores that don't offer accessible drive on carts. Can you recommend a product(s). Also, I use a walker (lift and hop for short range mobility) and wonder if there is a walker with a seat (cannot stand on only left leg weight bearing joint for long)...this device would have to support my lifting weight to use for mobility without moving (no wheels???).. but a seat...is there such a product and if so, please recommend.

Answer

Dear Carole,

Thank you for the inquiries.  I have two recommendations for the wheelchair.  Please take a look at our website (www.msecompany.net) and see item (s) #CLS09RVE and #82DWCEVR.  See the specifications and make sure they fit what you need.  Unfortunately the other product you were inquiring does not exist, however I will spend some time to research.

Question
I got a result of "invalid due to glycolysis" on my glucose test. What does this mean and what causes it?Also, is there any cause for concern?

Answer

You have a lack of oxygen in your blood that pervents sugar development. Glycolysis is the sequence of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with the concomitant production of a relatively small amount of ATP. Glycolysis can be carried out anerobically (in the absence of oxygen) and is thus an especially important pathway for organisms that can ferment sugars. Many people have the same diagnosis.  You may want to consult with a microbologist for more information.

Question
I had lysis of adhesion removal on my small bowel intestines 2 months ago. The problem doesn't have anything to do with the pre op obstruction . What Im having issues with in the incision itself. I have a lot of abdominal cramping,squeezing, tightening, also I become lightheaded, dizzy and confused since the operation.My Ab wall becomes cold and I feel a clenching even when theres nothing in my GI tract . Could A Incision cause vascular/circulatory issues? I've had numerous colo rectal surgeies so I've been opened like a zip lock bag. Maybe the doctors didnt align the walls properly .I'm lost I addressed this post op with the surgeon ,but he said im no doing another sguery . I never implied to him or insinuated I would want one. And If I was going to have another porcedure it wouldn't be by this Doctor . Any ethical answer would be appreciated

Dear Drew:

Unfortunately, we can not provide medical diagnosis or treatment recommendations.  If you are unhappy with your current surgeon, it is in your best interests to seek a second advice.  All the best and Happy Holidays!
