Carol Perkins: A patient, patient Previous Column: Seafood Buffet By Carol Perkins For at least five years, I have been avoiding knee replacement surgery. I went the way of shots in the knee, meds for arthritis, and even stem cell replacement therapy, but nothing changed the fact that I was dealing with "bone on bone." It was not going to get better and a replacement was the only answer to the pain and the limp, both of which had become part of my life. A part that I couldn't control. When I set July 12th as the date for my surgery and Dr. Fee from WKONA as my doctor, I wasn't going to back out. I went for all the pre-op appointments and worked in a trip to Texas before being "laid up." "You won't be down for long," the doctor assured me. "We'll have you walking within hours of the surgery." That sounded good to me, but I wasn't counting on the pain that came with the walking. Pain that I was there until it wasn't. Dr. Fee asked me the morning after surgery if I thought I could have come home the same day.

LCDHD COVID Weekly Public Information Brief 7/16/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We added 131 new cases this week compared to 78 new cases the week prior. We have 115 active cases today compared to 78 last Thursday. We have 7 hospitalized cases today compared to 10 last Thursday. We experienced 1 COVID-19 related death since last Thursday and reported 1 other death which occurred earlier. Our 7-day-average incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 is 8.94 today compared to 5.32 last Friday. So, all in all, another week of sharp increases. Again, this week should be a warning that COVID-19 is not over. We saw significant clusters of new cases this week tied to area businesses, church camps, churches, travel, and 1 long-term care facility. So, please take the vaccine. While no vaccine is 100% effective, please note the following local information. Since the vaccine started becoming available (1/5/21), about 97.8% of our area's new cases had taken no doses of the vaccine. Also, of our 113 total deaths since the vaccine started becoming available, only 2 had received their 1st dose of the vaccine and none were fully vaccinated. Also, of our 453 hospitalizations tied to COVID-19 after the vaccine started becoming available, only 20 had received at least 1 dose of the vaccine. It should be noted, however, that about 17% of our new cases in the last 7 days had taken at least 1 dose of the vaccine. Of our 25 new cases this week that had received at least 1 dose of the vaccine, only 1 is noted as in the hospital. So, the vaccine continues to be very effective in preventing death and severe illness. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 4.04%.
