Canadian National Coverage for the sport and being a parent of a speedy child!

Submitted by Lorrie Miller, Ph.D. on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 00:40. | comments

A fast summer

Submitted by Lorrie Miller, Ph.D. on Tue, 08/04/2009 - 17:04. | comments

Roadrash treatment home tested!

Submitted by Lorrie Miller, Ph.D. on Tue, 06/16/2009 - 20:48. | comments

Yikes!  Here is the results if not following my newly learned road rash treatment.  It is my son's slow healing crusty knee.  I vowed to not let this happen again.  But, as he is fifteen, and not certain of my wisdom in these matters, I am not so sure that he will be thrilled with my intervention.  He prefers to take care of these things himself.
