Website tips

Mon, 12/08/2008 - 10:30 — abatishko

I wanted to pass along a few tips to help in using this website.

  • The sidebar contains a "Recent posts" link. Use that link to see a list of any changes that have been made recently. This will list new posts as well as new comments, and includes a link to take you directly to the new post or comment.
  • Feel free to comment on any of the blog entries. Posts that you can see have been intentionally made visible to allow others to read and (if desired) participate in any feedback. This is intended to be a web site not just for my family, but also for friends of my family.

I'll leave this post stickied for a while. I may eventually take it down and replace it with an FAQ page.

Some of the highlights included getting to see exactly how a hip replacement works and looks. Now I know exactly what's going on inside Mom! It's definitely different then I'd imagined, and yet, seems relatively straightforward. We also got to see some examples of the stent that was put in MrsKheldars leg after her blood clot, and got to see some examples of a hole in the heart between the two sides like I've got.
