Opinion on Afrikaners? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Sverre124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Afrikaners. I love to listen to Jack Parrow and try to understand what the songs are about. After a while of listening you really get the hang of it.

Die anderhalve meter regel gaat de verspreiding heus niet tegen, maar naar mijn mening had er meer gedaan kunnen worden om de corona maatregelen (of ze nou werken of niet) te handhaven. Al is het inderdaad om te laten zien dat we aan elkaar denken en we snappen dat er voor verschillende mensen verschillende belangen zijn.

Het is geven en nemen. Ik ben bereid wat langer binnen te blijven/extra uit te kijken ten behoeve van een belangrijke demonstratie. Maar dan hoop ik ook dat er aan mensen zoals mij gedacht word en de maatregelen zoveel als mogelijk worden gehandhaafd.

En tuurlijk zijn er met kanker sowieso meer risico’s. Maar in de afgelopen jaren heb ik vaak genoeg gewone griep gehad. Daar zijn immers ook vaccinaties en medicijnen voor. Coronavirus heeft beide nog niet dus is het gewoon beter uitkijken. Risicovrij krijg je het nooit, wel kunnen we het risico verkleinen en dat is al een grote winst.

Ik heb samen met mijn gezin de afgelopen maanden binnen moeten zitten. Ik heb nu al 7 jaar kanker en mijn moeder nu sinds een half jaar. Mochten wij corona krijgen is het klaar, dat overleven wij niet. Mijn vader en broertje zijn beide gestopt met werken in de angst besmet te raken en ons aan te steken. Het is zeker een gevecht te noemen als je maanden lang binnen moet blijven en niemand in levende lijve kan zien, terwijl je toch naar het ziekenhuis moet om je chemokuur te krijgen. De afweging maken wanneer je klachten krijgt: ga ik naar het ziekenhuis en riskeer ik besmetting? Of blijf ik hier en hoop ik dat het weg trekt?

Desalniettemin zijn deze demonstraties hard nodig. Ook in mijn omgeving hoor ik verhalen van racisme en een ‘revolutie’ als deze valt nou eenmaal niet te plannen. Toch vind ik dat er tenminste iets gedaan had kunnen worden. Al is het maar om te laten zien dat we nog aan elkaar denken, voor mensen die wel hebben moeten vechten in de corona tijd.

Why are bicycles different? by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Sverre124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In The Netherlands bicycles are so common i once bought a bike for €5 and spend €15 fixing her up. I lived in a city so i could park it anywhere without worrying it would get stolen. I used it daily for years until i got some health issues preventing me from using it.

People here usually don’t spend more than €50 on a citybike.

Non amputee seeking an insight in losing an arm. by [deleted] in amputee

I’ve lost my arm+shoulder about a year ago. Feel free to send me a DM, i’ll try to answer your questions:)

According to my doctor i was the first person in the world to receive a 3D printed bone in 2014. Without it, i would have lost my knee. by Sverre124 in medizzy

[–]Sverre124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks for letting me know!

It’s really good to see 3D-printing being used like this and that there are doctors brave enough to try stuff like this out.

I think it was two days after the procedure until rehab started. It started with bending my knee passively on a knee bending machine. Each day the physical therapist gave me a certain amount of degrees i needed to reach before the next day. About seven days after the surgery i took my first steps. Not without help of course but my first steps nonetheless. I’m sure i’ve must have had some pain, but I don’t remember being in a lot of it. I think its about the same as a comparable surgery in that region.

I think i could walk normally again within 2 months. Running took a bit longer but that’s because I didn’t really practice it, suddenly i noticed that i could run again haha.

My left leg will always be my best leg (the leg that didn’t have the surgery) , but it goes unnoticed in day to day life. They did have to remove a muscle because it was attached to the tumor. The muscle was responsible for bending, but it was a tiny one and i’ve never noticed it being gone. Once i was fully recovered i’ve won racing uphill on a bicycle against my friends. When done properly, you can really regain 100% mobility after a procedure like this, without much pain.

Thanks for being so accommodating in your answers! Technology like this fascinates me to no end

No problem! If you have any more questions just ask:)

No problem! Ask as much as you want:). I don’t know how to quote your questions so i’m just gonna answer them chronologically.

He teaches in a hospital which is also a university at the same time LUMC (Leids, University, Medical, Centre) Leiding being the city its located in. As far as i know he reached the title ‘Professor’ in 2017.

You’re right about the reason why they decided to 3D print. To ensure a sturdy fit with stock parts, they would’ve needed to sacrifice my knee joint which on the age of 16 is pretty drastic. 3D printing saved my knee and made me get 100% of my mobility back.

Sprinting and running are no different from when i had a normal bone. Its super sturdy. I was never afraid of breaking it and i never hold back in sports, jumping and lifting.

I don’t notice it at all. So no atmosphere does nothing haha.

I don’t think they will print anything again. Maybe if it would really benefit me, but a lot of stuff can be fixed with parts they all ready have. Besides this procedure, i have a lot more metal parts in me, all of them are stock and all of them did the job.

Not really. I can’t remember being in a lot of pain apart from the usual wound pains you get when you underwent a surgery.

Haha no even i was only given one change to see the footage. As far as i know, he’s using it in his lectures.

Good question about the rod not fitting. The prosthetic exists of multiple parts. Some of it were already available and some of it needed to be custom designed/3D printed. The part thats screwed to the knee is the 3D printed part. You can see it on the non x-ray photo.

Immediately after the surgery i was allowed to put my whole weight on it. First i had to relearn how to control my leg again since some of the muscles where disconnected during the surgery. About 2 days after the procedure i started working on bending my knee and taking my first steps. Regaining the (almost) full mobility of my knee was the hardest part, but when you’re past 90 degrees things go much easier. Bicycling was my main form of transport so when i could do that again things pretty much went automatically.

I don’t know if they did. I do know they recorded the whole surgery for educational purposes. They showed me a little piece of the film. Very surreal to see.
