Public

How is everyone - not at the conference - acknowledging AF Awareness Day? I am wearing my hoodie (grateful it is not yesterday's 80°F) and reminded all my friends to wear their AF Awareness pins today.

I know some don't want to talk about it. To have to keep explaining why they have their mobility issues and what it is. I feel like we need a lot more education and awareness, even with orthopedists.

My new orthopedist feels that my surgeon should have been aware that I was at significant risk for arthrofibrosis based on my medical history and worked on pre-op preventative measures and treatment post-op when my leg wouldn't bend at all. The joys of hindsight.

Anyway, happy advocacy.
