Just for you.

My 2nd surgery was PITA INFECTION, Modern Medicine has its failures at times. Try a surgery 31000 years ago blew me away. WW1 butchery was in my mind reading this cool trivia.

Noted they did not have titanium at the time. The 31000 year olds Pelvis and mine would be similar with out lot of titanium plates and screws


Borneo skeleton may show 31,000 year old amputation

Discovery in a cave in Indonesia ‘rewrites understanding’ on the development of medical knowledge.

"
Researchers were exploring the imposing Liang Tebo cave, known for its wall paintings dating back 40,000 years, when they came across the grave in 2020.
Although much of the skeleton was intact, it was missing its left foot and the lower part of its left leg. After examining the remains, the researchers concluded the bones were not missing and had not been lost in an accident – they had been carefully removed.

Not necessarily, our milk has a use by period of ten days. That's long enough for the disposal of Boris and implantment of Liz, while a few short days later the other Liz sadly passed away to be immediately replaced by Charlie.

Sharks? Snakes? Redbacks? Crocs? Drop bears? (Kidding)

The last reported death from a roo might have been 1936. Many of us know the big hormonal bucks must be treated with care!

Two big boys I saw on a run on Sunday got a wide berth by the dog and myself The 100+ other roos got much closer to us.

Doing 10,000 steps a day is good, but study shows walking fast is better

running works then

"Quibbles over the optimal daily step count for our health have come full circle, with the largest study to date on the subject suggesting that 10,000 a day is indeed the magic number. But, the way we move may be of equal importance, the researchers found."



"The widely held belief that it was 10,000 steps a day came, not from research, but a clearly successful 1960s marketing campaign for a pedometer, named Manpo-Kei (Manpo means 10,000 steps in Japanese)."

"That idea was seemingly debunked only last year, when multiple separate studies found that health benefits seemed to plateau or improve only marginally beyond 7000 to 8000 steps a day.

Now, two large studies published in JAMA on Tuesday, assert that 10,000 leads to the greatest reduction in risk of dementia, heart disease, cancer and death"

I did also hear your have 50% higher chance of two types of cancers IF your obese! What was not clear if it is the obesity or types of food eaten ! It is not always simple- DOH

Move it all- Do it your way of course

So, 10,000 steps equates to about 8 kilometres. A nice little stroll.
