Meet Nora. Nora’s journey with epilepsy began in kindergarten. After one of EFMN's Seizure Smart Training presentations at Nora's school, Nora's mom, Tina, connected with EFMN to learn more about seizure management. Nora's doctors were recommending brain surgery and EFMN was able to provide Nora and her family information and resources that helped them navigate this decision.? Nora’s surgery was a huge success. During Nora’s recovery, EFMN connected Nora's parents with other families who had undergone surgery. Sharing their story with others who understood their daughter’s journey was a source of comfort. Now Nora is back to doing all of her favorite things, including camping, vacationing with her family, biking, and dancing without worry. Interested in sharing your own story with EFMN?

Life update: down 140 pounds since December 8th 2022. Things I’ve learned: - There’s failures every day, it’s normal. Learning from them quick and picking yourself up is the key to consistency - Planning ensure consistency and removes hurdles. Setting a schedule on when you workout, when you meal prep, etc….that’s what keeps you on track. - The here’s always excuses to not do what you’re supposed to do. Your ability to ignore them will teach you more about your capabilities and your willpower, than the motivation you’ll get from the number going down. - There’s no miracle cure. There’s just commitment and hard work. I had gastric sleeve surgery, which is the closest to a ??miracle cure??. It gets you started, but it won’t do the work for you. - Celebrate how far you’ve come. Don’t just focus on what’s left to do. It’s never gonna end, but the journey is so worth it. And last but not least: A small step forward beats the best planned step you never took. Don’t get bogged down with making things perfect. Just do it! Imperfectly moving forward beats perfectly standing still all day, every day.

We love hearing from patients using MAXM Skate to fast-track their recovery from knee surgery ?? Each week we speak to patients and surgeons who have chosen MAXM Skate as part of their post-operative journey for so many reasons: ? MAXM Skate creates better ROM earlier, thanks to the engineered design of the Skate itself and ROM sensor ? Patients can track their ROM, progress and maintain engagement through the MAXM App (available on both iOS and Android) as they complete exercises, education and PROMs ? Surgeons and healthcare teams can remotely monitor patient outcomes, making check-ins quick and easy ? The solution is evidence-based and shown to improve ROM, mental health outcomes and the ability to self-manage moving forward But what really drives our passion for ensuring the best post-operative care possible? ?? It is the real-world stories from patients who've been able to glide back into life sooner by using MAXM Skate for their recovery. Whether it's getting back to walking, work activities, hiking, socialising, spending time with grandchildren, doing adventure sports or other activities, we love that our solution is helping people all over the globe ?? #accelerate #knee #recovery #orthopaedics #TKR #totalkneereplacement #medtech #healthtechnology #digitalhealth #rehab #MAXM #MAXMskate #TGA #FDA #CEmark

It's #MyopiaAwarenessWeek so we thought we'd tell you all about the condition more commonly known as nearsightedness ?? Basically, Myopia causes an individual to have difficulty seeing objects that are far away because the eye is longer than normal from the front to back. This causes the light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of on it and the brain is unable to process a clear image ?? Check out the video for a quick explainer or learn more at the eyeHUB https://lnkd.in/dcAqh87c [video description: footage of kids wearing sunglasses and video graphics showing how myopia affects kids’ vision. Turn on the audio for an explanation of how the condition affects children’s vision.] #SpecklesKids #Speckles #HideAndSeePatches #PatchingKids #AmblyopiaKids #Myopia #MyopiaAwareness #maw2024 #KidsVision?#Orthoptics #Orthoptist #Opthalmologist #Optometry #Optometrist #Ophthalmology
