Hard work is easier when you have people cheering you on. Whether family, friends, or close mentors, cultivate relationships with people whom you trust, who have your best interest in mind, and who will have your back through ups and downs A few very close friends can be better than a stable of casual acquaintances. Spend time with friends and family, call them, talk to them, and keep them in your life. Just knowing that they are there for you will be a help. Be willing to reach out. Whether through talking or asking for advice, seek out support from your loved ones when you need it. You can also seek peer support groups to find people with common experiences and shared histories. They've "been there" before. There is a big difference between caring and worrying. Caring is being invested in something, like a goal. Worrying, on the other hand, is "an attempt to control the future by thinking about it." One is motivating. The other is impossible. Focus on what you can control. We are often faced with surprises or unforeseen events, so remind yourself that you are only human and cannot control everything. Encourage yourself from time to time. Anxiety is like any other feeling. You might try telling yourself this, i.e. "I feel worried, but I do things to deal with it." Keep things in perspective. Avoid "catastrophic thinking" by reminding yourself of the scale of your worry. For instance, failing a class is bad but not the end of your education. Finishing last at a swim meet is disappointing but not the end of the world. You still have your health, your life, and people who love you. Know when to let up when following your goals and dreams, otherwise you may face burnout physical and mental exhaustion, discouragement, and cynicism. If you are under stress, find ways to rest, relax and recharge. You know your mind and body best and when you might be slowing down. Make sure that your mind and body are well-rested. Otherwise, your efforts will be less effective. It is OK to take some time off, whether that means you're on vacation, at yoga, out of the pool, or mentally checked out for the weekend. Exercise and a healthy diet will keep you in good shape but also support your mental well-being. Make sure that you living a good lifestyle, because by keeping yourself healthy you'll be less stressed and better primed to achieve and focus. Physical exercise releases endorphins, boosts blood flow to your brain, increases your energy, and just generally improves mood. Try to get about thirty minutes of moderate exercise five times per week. Make sure to eat right, too. Eat regularly throughout the day to maintain your blood sugar levels and energy, including at breakfast, and include a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains in your meals. Almost everyone feels down or helpless at some point in life. You aren't alone and should know that there are resources and people available to help. If you feel discouraged for a long period of time, or find that low energy and depression are interfering with your life, talk to a mental health professional. Depression can be mild or severe and can depend on your environment, events around you, or even on your physical makeup. Its symptoms include sadness, anxiety, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness, fatigue, and loss of interest in normal activities. It can even take the form of physical aches and pains. Consider talking to a counselor, a therapist, or a psychiatrist. They can help you to manage your depression with a proper treatment plan.

Summary: Keep a wide support network. Keep worry at bay. Take it slow and take breaks. Live a healthy lifestyle. Know when to seek help.

You can also use a small pint-sized milk carton as well. If you want a fancier car, you can paint the juice box with acrylic paint, or cover it with duct tape, fabric, etc. Make sure that the carton is clean and dry.

Summary: Get a small juice box.

Measure its length. In this case, the stick measured 10.5cm/4.3".

Summary: Place one of the popsicle sticks on a sheet of paper. Construct an equilateral triangle based on the length of the popsicle stick.

Here's the knowledge you should be armed with: Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed for relieving pain and reducing inflammation (redness, swelling, pain). Well-known NSAIDs in the pharmacies are Ibuprofen and Diclofenac salts ("Voltaren or Cataflam"); most are available in variable dosage forms. Tablets should be taken when needed (when having pain) but a usual dose of Voltaren 50 mg twice daily after meals should be enough. Osteoporosis drugs such as Alendronate ("Fosamax") helps in slowing the progression of AVN. Cholesterol drugs are used to decrease the fat concentration in the blood circulation caused by the intake of corticosteroids; this prevents blood vessel blockage that leads to AVN. Blood thinners such as Warfarin help patients with clotting disorders to prevent clot formation that can block the blood vessels. This is a process that stimulates the body to grow new bones to replace the damaged area. It's performed during surgery by being applied around the bones as electromagnetic fields, putting electricity directly to the bones or by attaching electrodes to your skin. It's not surgery per se, but it is generally used in conjunction with surgery. If surgery puts your bones in line, electrical stimulation sets the ball in motion. However, it's not right for everyone, so ask your doctor if it's a feasible option. More than 50% of patients with AVN will need a surgical treatment in about 3 years of diagnosis. Your doctor will determine which type of surgical therapy you may need. Here are the details: Core decompression. The surgeon removes parts of the bone's inner layer. The aim of this is to decrease the pressure inside, increase the blood flow, and let the extra space stimulate new healthy bone tissue production with new blood vessels. Bone transplant (graft). This is a transplantation process of a healthy bone section from another site of your body to support the affected area, usually done after a core decompression. Increasing the blood supply may be done by performing a vascular graft, including both an artery and a vein. Bone reshaping (osteotomy). This is where the surgeon removes a section of the affected bone above or below a weight bearing joint to change its shape in order to decrease the stress on it. This is effective for early stages/small areas and postpones the joint replacement. Joint replacement. In late stages, when totally collapsed or damaged and with medication failure, the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial one, usually made from plastic or metal parts. After surgery, it is absolutely imperative that your bones: A) heal, and B) heal correctly. Physical therapy (done regularly) will ensure that both of these things happen. Here's how it's beneficial: Your physical therapist will hook you up with crutches, a walker, or some device to reduce the weight the joint has to bear. This will greatly speed up the healing process. Your physical therapist will work on exercises with you to prevent joint deformity and improve your joint flexibility and mobility. Very important things!
Summary: Ask your doctor about medication. Talk to your doctor about electrical stimulation. Consider surgery. Get physical therapy and stick to it.
