    Personal Quote
    About Me I am no longer on the southside of 50, I have crested the hill, reached the figurative summit, or anything else you'd like to say about it....I have turned 50 a couple of days ago. I have been Married twice;The second time around Has been great! I sort of Knew what to look for this time; Needless to say I am Happily Married for 11 years. I have two special needs children from my first marriage. They are Both Autistic...My daughter has Asperger's syndrome (we are pretty sure...no formal diagnoses yet but....)and My Son is severely autistic (doesn't talk and isn't potty trained) My daughter is very high functioning my son not so much. My wife and I love to travel and do so as much as we can....not being independently wealthy or retired limits us to once a year.....usually a cruise although if the price was right I think we would consider a land vacation.
    Music I like all types of Music except for opera and rap....although there are exceptions. Right now I am listening to Christian Rock; because it tends to not only relax me but makes me feel better when the Rat race gets to be too much! My other favorite is Classic rock!
    Movies The Last Movie I saw in a movie theatre was Ghostbusters! I am getting better with the advent of DVD's I've seen "Ray" "Mystic River".
    TV I usually watch News and Politics although I have succumbed to the Reality shows! I am almost over "American Idol" My Wife Likes the Dancing shows but my Favorite reality show is "The Biggest Loser" (since I am into Health,nutrition and working out)
    Books I usually read Medical based textbooks. The two books (fiction) that have really made an impact on me are "The Boomerang clue" by Agatha Christie and "Battle Circle" by Pierce Anthony
    Likes I Generally like My life!...from time to time it throws me a curve(but it's pretty good all in all)I like Pizza,Travel,using my computer,the medical field,and My dogs
    Dislikes Mosquitoes! (I live down south so guess why thats at the top of the list right now)Hypocrisy,and when my daughter isn't all she can be (I sound like an Army Commercial)My dislikes tend to generally follow what is going on in my life as my likes do ...but generally once the bad times pass I forget about them
    Hobbies Travel (cruising),working out,computer,chess, and crosswords
    Vices opinionated,drinking to excess while on vacation (thats why I cruise I don't have to drive anywhere)I tend to obscess on certain things that mean a great deal to me. I can also be quite the procrastinator
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Patience, optimism, and what some people would consider my inner peace.
    Heroes Alexander Flemming (discovered penicillin). I also consider people that go the extra mile to help people a hero.
    My Profession Xray tech

    Anatomy tidbit- upper extremity/forearm

    Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 09:43 AM EST [General]

    The distal radioulnar articulation is created when the ulnar notch of the radius moves around the articular circumference of the ulna. It provides the movements of supination and pronation. The main stabilizing element of the dital radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is an articular disk called the triangular fibrocatilage complex (TFCC). The TFCC is a fan shaped band of fibrous tissue  that originates on the medial surface of the distal radius and traverses horizontally to insert on the ulnar styloid process. It rotates against the distal surface of the ulnar head during pronation and supination. It seperates the ulna and the carpal bones.

    The internal cerebral vein runs posteriorly beneath the third ventricle to meet with the paired basal veins, underneath the corpus collosum. There it forms a shorter trunk; called the great cerebral vein.

    Anatomy tidbit- upper extremity/bursae

    Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 09:30 AM EST [General]

    The tendons and ligaments of the shoulder are cushioned by several fluid filled bursae. Bursae within the the shoulder reduce friction where large muscles and tendons pass across the joint capsule. Two prominent shoulder bursae are: the subscromial-subdeltoid and subscapular bursae. The subacromial-subdeltoid is the main bursae of the shoulder and the largest of the bursae within the body. Begining at the coracoid process, the bursae extends laterally over the superior surface  of the supra and infra spinatus tendons, it extends beyond the acromion and continues beneath the deltoid muscle to the greater tubercle of the humerus. This bursae cushions the rotator cuff muscles and coracoacromial arch. The subscapular bursae is located between the subscapularis tendon and the scapula. It communicates with the synovial cavity through an opening in the joint capsule. The bursae protects the subscapularis tendon, where it passes inferiorly to the coracoid process and over the neck of the scapula.

    In addition to the talus and calcaneus; the cuboid, navicular, and the 3 cuneiform bones comprise the remaining 5 tarsal bones of the foot. Lateral and anterior to the calcaneus, is the cuboid bone; which articulates anteriorly with the bases of the 4th and 5th metatarsals. The navicular bone articulates posteriorly with the talus and anteriorly with the cuneiform bones, on the medial side of the foot. The cuneiform bones are numbered from medial to lateral and articulate anteriorly with the first 3 metatarsal bones.
