flying and other
Fuzzy,
I'm fortunate at 5'2" that I can lie across 3 coach seats and be comfy however not all seats are the same size it seems as the Delta 747 I was first on before we all got bumped off this flight for supposed mechanical reasons was downright killing my hips as I laid there for just 15 minutes pre flight.
So we got bumped as I stated and the next plane had more comfortable seats and I could lie comfortably on my side or back. With bent knees my feet don't hang over anything.
May I ask what pain medication you were on prior to your surgery and how often you took it for how long (# of years?). Just wondering. It's a rather personal question so you don't have to answer if you prefer not to.
BTW, my last bone mineral density was t-2.2 in lumbar spine (2 years ago nearly) and then t-2.8 in one of my hips. I'm supposed to be taking Actonel but stopped nearly a year ago and don't take Calcium either as I have stomach probs with all forms of Calcium I've tried taking. I must return to the ingestion of Actonel or some such thing soon as I realize I'm ony hurting my own bone density!
Good luck w/your flight!
