Use the suppositories in the evening. Make sure that you have already gone to the bathroom at least once that day before using the suppositories.

Physical therapists as well as the orthopaedic staff prefer you use a walker. A walker has four legs and is more stable than crutches. Thus, a higher level of stability will equate to a higher level of protection to you and your new joint. If you have used crutches in the past and can use them well, you may be allowed to use them. If so, physical therapy will determine your stability with the crutches prior to discharge.

The many holes in oasis material mean a greater effective surface area. This means a smaller humidifier is able to do the same work as a larger one using other materials. Natural sponges are much more prone to contamination and should not be used. Good quality synthetic sponges are a reasonable alternative IMHO (although your credo might need to be a little larger than if you used oasis).

Retane is easy and convenient to use. It comes in a ready to use spray bottle - simply hold the bottle about 3 inches from your scalp and spray the desired spots liberally with short, even bursts. Use approximately two teaspoons of Retane per application. (Each teaspoon is approximately 25 to 30 even bursts). Wet the root of your hair and massage your scalp thoroughly. Do not rinse your hair, as this will rinse away the nutrients and vitamins. Let dry naturally and do not blow dry your hair.
