Joint Camp
It’s not the years it’s the mileage … Grandparents again riding bicycles … Note: Our GLT editor, Tucker Cordani, after many years of sever hip pain and loss of basic ambulating functions that you and I take for granted, will be undergoing surgery at Henry Ford Allegance Health in February for a hip replacement. This is his first-hand story, in preparation of this surgery... Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com
Jackson -- some one, several, indeed many, in great need of orthopedics. Several people gathered in one overheated room on the fifth story high at Henry Ford Allegiance hospital. Age of the participants : 50s, 60s and into 80s and 90s. And one whippersnapper with a notebook, who wished to get out of jail free card. But it was warm in the hospital. And there was a coffee bar in the lobby. Joint camp is how members of the medical staff educate people in need of shiny metal objects to help them walk without that pinch and discomfort and disoriented. It was a popular destination.

To the patients, she was a dorm mom. Insurance cards were highly valued. Many brandished their cards as if they were the gold of El Dorado. Those who self-paid stared dolefully out the window to admire the solid brick façade. It wasn’t scout camp. Many felt dejected, for such is the process of living with a bionic man/ woman. The images that Harner displayed gained her attention. Many held second thoughts. Very gruesome. “Don’t think about it,” Harner said. “Just rejoice in the new titanium” she added. Harner reminded those who suffer from tooth decay to ensure you have antibodies. Once the tutorial concluded Harner distributed gift bags.

“My job requires high-octane energy, and I’m so glad it’s back,” says Matt Lehman, athletic director and teacher at Concord Community Schools. His double hip replacement not only took away his pain and limp, it also restored much of the energy and strength from his younger athletic days. With the help of his Henry Ford Allegiance Orthopedics and Physical Therapy teams, Matt is back on a healthier, more active track.

One look at the contraption could have sent one of the pupils to their college years. Hip Replacement Surgery Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier. While most hip replacement surgeries today are performed using the standard technique (one 8 to 10 inch cut along the side of the hip), in recent years, some doctors have been using a minimally-invasive technique. In the minimally-invasive approach, doctors make one to two cuts from 2 to 5 inches long. The same procedure is performed through these small cuts as with standard hip replacement surgery.

Discussion of communication for when people could get on the lake as some residents are not happy that they can’t be on the lake during racing. Mark explained that keeping people off the lake is all about safety and they would be happy to race during the week when the lake is less busy but that would cut down on how many spectators would be able to attend.

PURE HOMILETICS: Floods and lamps Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com
Interior reflection has never been more difficult in the entire history of the world than it is today, when our attention is pulled so effectively in so many directions. We are surrounded by advertisement, both visual and the audio. We are inundated with images because—because—we to spend so much time on the Great Satan, Television, with its watchdog— cell phones, movies that make us laugh only to feel depleted. We’ve got the 2020 American blues and ways and means that keep us kinetically speed freaks. Recently I resurrected all my Socials— Twitter—Instagram—and the Godfather of all manner of boogie monsters.
All that babbling and chatter in your cerebral cortex makes one wish for days that lie between. Free the mind and the clutter, either the mirror or the memories, good, bad, or just the same each day. One symbol for this virtue of interior freedom and recollection. The lamp symbolizes the discipline of our oil in reflecting by trivial thoughts. These rich symbols are more powerful because we need to know about the sudden sadness like a mountain fresco. Forget the Snuff Jaw. Forget the bargains of Christmas shenanigans.

100 Years Ago From the Archives Poisoning by wood grain alcohol Numerous deaths in many parts of the country, due to the drinking of bogus whisky made of wood alcohol, have aroused the authorities and have spread dismay in the ranks of those who were relying on "moonshine" hour for their evasion of the prohibition laws.
Criminal gangs in several cities have engaged in the manufacture of this deadly drink, and have profited enormously, but some of their members are now under arrest and probably many others will be caught and punished. Their victims, naturally, are mainly of the poorer classes which could not afford to lay in private stocks before the sale of liquor became

illegal. If the wook alcohol is not fatal to the drinkers, it is almost certain to cause total blindness. As one result of the deaths of the bureau of internal revenue will recommend to congress the passage of a law subjecting the manufacture and sale of wood alcohol to the same restrictions as grain alcohol. Prohibition now begins in 1920. Despite the new law, unsurprisingly, people keep drinking. As speakeasies and underground liquor sales are booming, many people who already drinking are drinking even more–a trend made possible because, even though imports have been curtailed by law enforcement, those who want to sell alcohol just re-distill the commcerial-use alcohol still readily available. So a solution emerged from the anti-drinking forces in the government: a new formula for denaturing industrial-grade alcohol was introduced, doubling how poisonous the wood alcohol became. The new formula included “4 parts wood alcohol, 2.25 parts pyridine bases, 0.5 parts benzene to 100 parts ethyl alcohol.Three ordinary drinks of this causes death or blindness. In case you didn’t guess, “blind drink” isn’t just a figure of speech.)

Pay It Forward project Give a Book – Take a Book!
We are heading into week 2 of the new year and I have heard from several people in Grass Lake that are going through their closets and donating clothing, shoes and blankets to people in need! It feels so good to get organized and I love that our community is doing it together! Hopefully you have all settled on your New Year’s resolutions, too, for 2020!
but, I am not an avid reader. I know! I know! Last year, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to read more for pleasure and I will say I did better than any other years in recent history! In the past 10 years or so, I have had the mindset to read to gain knowledge. I read to learn something new and to grow. I will read articles, newspapers, columns, research articles, devotional books, spiritual growth literature and I read the bible every morning to start my day, but, for me to actually take the time to sit down with a good book and read it for pleasure is like building a snowman in the summer. It simply doesn’t happen.
This next Pay It Forward Project is something I hope to find around town myself! I have to admit, and some of you may be really disappointed when you hear this,
Since I focused more on this last year, I am focusing on it again this year! In the past, when I would try to sit down to read a book, I find myself day dreaming and

thinking about the laundry that needs folded, the dishwasher that needs emptied, and all the other things I could be doing. But I tried my hand (or should I say ear) this past year with audio books and it changed my world! I read several books over the winter and spring when I was painting the inside of our house, remodeling our master bathroom, and when I painted our fence, shed and deck. It really changed how I enjoy reading! So, this next Pay it Forward Project is perfect for the avid reader or someone who wants to take up reading for pleasure this year! Take a look at your stack of books at home and find the one that you have read a hundred times (or if you are me, just once) and slap a sticky note on the front that says “A free gift for you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did”. The

next time you are in town, leave the book somewhere for someone else to find! What a sweet and lovely surprise for someone! I am ready to find some books lying around town and then I promise to pay them forward once I am finished!! If you find a book around town this coming week, shoot me an email and let me know and let’s pay it forward through words and books this week and make our little town a happier place, one page at a time.
