TEXTING AND DRIVING
I think last month was Distracted Driving Awareness Month, better known as Texting and Driving Awareness Month. I submitted a blog entry to the Digital Parenting and Safety Blog regarding this issue, so I’m putting a link to it on my blog because I think it’s important. Texting and driving might statistically be getting just about as deadly as drinking and driving. Many laws are getting passed in order to make this a crime, but I have yet to see much action on it. Unfortunately, in order for laws to work on most of us, someone has to go to jail. Hope it’s not anyone I care about. Let’s just say “NO” to texting and driving, just like we said “NO” to drinking and driving, “NO” to littering, and “YES” to seat belts. We just need to practice what we preach. Read on…and stop texting while driving!

I'm a retired orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. I practiced general orthopedic surgeon in Austin for 36 yrstd and have a pretty good idea of the things we're doing to cause pain and injury. As a competitive horseback rider, and a female athlete, I also have personal experience with injuries and the musculoskeletal problems associated with aging. I talk frankly about various conditions, and how you can prevent a lot of injuries, deal with pain and slow down the degenerative processes which will happen as we age.
