My name is DevonTurner and I needyour help. I wasdiagnosed with agenetic diseaseknown as Polycystic KidneyDisease at the age of6 months old.Polycystic kidney Disease (PKD) is a debilitatingillness that reduces the function ofthe kidneys due to the growth of a largenumber of cysts. Eventually the kidneyscannot perform their function, filteringout toxins out of the blood. PKD is themost common, life-threatening geneticdiseases, affecting more than 12.5 millionpeople each year.When kidney failure occurs, the onlycurrent options are dialysis multiple timesa week or an organ transplant, which onlya few lucky receive. My condition hasworsened over the past year and physicianshave determined that I need a kidneytransplant to survive. In August 2008 Iwas evaluated and deemed an excellentcandidate for transplantation at FloridaHospital Transplant Center in OrlandoFlorida. As you may know, transplantation isvery expensive. Even with health insurance,there are significant non-reimbursablecosts. A fundraising campaign has beenestablished with the National TransplantAssistance Fund (NTAF)to help defray uncoveredexpenses such asdonor testing, deductibles, copaymentsand prescriptions. NTAF is a nonprofitorganization that has been assisting thetransplant community for over twentyyears. All contributions are administeredby NTAF exclusively for uninsured transplant-relatedexpenses.It’s never easy to ask for help and nowis certainly no exception. I deeply appreciateyour support. At times like this, theassistance of family, friends and the communityis crucial to help ensure a positiveoutcome. Your prayers and support aregreatly appreciated.On behalf of my family and myself,thank you for your kindness and generosity.Sincerely,Devon Turner772-216-3019devonturner@att.netDonations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

ORTHOPAEDICSORTHOPAEDIC CENTER OFVERO BEACHHip Resurfacing: An Alternative to HipReplacementRichard Steinfeld, MD, FAAOSMarcus J. Malone, MD, David W. Griffin, MD and Richard Steinfeld, MD.Orthopaedic Update: Treatment with TotalKnee ReplacementDavid W. Griffin, MD, FAAOS. AAHKS, FACSDr. Griffin is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons andBoard Certified by the American Board ofOrthopaedic Surgery.Continuing to improve pain relief for post op care following total knee replacement isan ongoing goal of orthopaedic surgeons. A combination of techniques utilizing spinalanesthetic and femoral nerve block is very safe. The spinal anesthetic allows the patientto breathe on their own and avoids nausea and vomiting post op. With the addition ofthe femoral nerve block this gives excellent relief of pain. Patients now use compressioncold/heat therapy which can be very beneficial for quicker recovery with less pain.Patient Specific Knees and Gender Specific Knees are new advancements injoint replacement technology. Patient Specific Knees are generated from MRI andx-rays to produce exact knee models. These models are used to create patient specificcutting blocks that the surgeon uses in the operating room. If proper alignment isachieved, a prosthesis may last 25 years. Gender Specific Knees are total kneereplacement components designed for the male and female anatomy. This allowsbetter fit and alignment of components.Richard Steinfeld, MD is a fellow of the American Academy of OrthopaedicSurgeons and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.His orthopaedic practice includes sports injuries, hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction,general orthopaedics including foot, ankle, hand surgery, and fracturecare. Dr. Steinfeld also specializes in advanced and leading technologies such asHip Resurfacing. Resurfacing of the hip joint is a bone preserving approach thatoffers younger, active patients the ability to live pain-free and engage in mostactivities. The worn surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with a smooth metal capand socket without violating the bone normally removed with a hip replacement.From an activity standpoint, hip resurfacing allows most patients to return to moreactive lifestyles including impact activities such as tennis, running, skiing, etc.EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS: A Non-Surgical Approach To Reduce Back PainMarcus J. Malone, MDDr. Malone specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and is notedfor his work in Chronic Pain Management. As a Physiatrist, Dr. Malone coordinatesthe long-term rehabilitation process for patients with disabilities and neurologicalimpairments. This specialty is particularly helpful for patients with musculoskeletalinjuries and joint replacement post operative care.With his trainingfocused on managing pain, Dr. Malone performs Epidural Steroid Injections(ESIs). This process is a common non surgical treatment method used to helprelieve pain in the neck, low back, arm and leg so that patients may resume theirnormal activities. Epidural Steroid Injections consists of a long lasting corticosteroidand an anesthetic. ESIs have proven to be helpful and are commonly usedin combination with a Physical Therapy program.Orthopaedic Center of Vero Beach1285 36th Street, Suite 100 • Vero Beach772.778.2009 • www.orthocentervb.com1415

Dr. Hema Rao continued from page 32by Cindy BryantDr. Hema Rao ExpandsPractice to Include Triveni,An Aveda Spa“Definitely not a typical doctor’s office.”Triveni Spa, an Aveda Salon, is not an ordinary spathat helps you look pretty on the surface. Instead, TriveniSpa was conceived to help you actually look and feelbeautiful, naturally.Triveni in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language, means“confluence of three rivers” and refers to a site where thethree rivers of ancient India meet to create a nexus with nearmysticalhealing and rejuvenation powers. Generations ofIndians have made the trip to Triveni to bathe in these sacredwaters for renewal of the mind, body and spirit.Dr. Hema Rao, a local oncologist in Vero Beach,has expanded her medical practice to include this spaand wellness center. Dr. Rao has always focused ontreating each patient as a whole person, not just theirdiagnosis or disease. She feels that knowledge andinformation of all aspects of one’s self is very importantat all stages of the cancer journey. A comprehensivecomplementary program in addition to the mainstreammedical treatment can help patients throughthe healing process and improve their quality of life.I sat down with her daughter, Swathi Rao, whowas instrumental in bringing to life her mother’sdream. In less than 10 days, Swathi was able toexpand and transform Dr. Rao’s medical office intoan aromatic, comforting setting for both patients and spaguests. Definitely not your typical doctor’s office or spa atall but the best of both worlds.When Dr. Rao first started her practice, the typicalpatient was aged 52. Then, she became concerned as shestarted seeing a number of patients in their 20s, so shebegan to investigate why. One possible reason is theincreased exposure to chemicals and other artificial elements.Given that the skin is the body’s largest organ,anything that we put on our body is inevitably absorbedinternally, such as the petrochemicals in most bath andbeauty products. Dr. Rao did a considerable amount of research before focusing onAveda. Aveda is one of the largest purchasers of organic ingredients in the personalcare industry. 90% of their essential oils and 89% of their raw herbal ingredients arecertified organic.Triveni Spa offers a variety of services including hair color, style and treatment services,facials, body treatments, including manicures and pedicures, depilatory services, massage& spa treatments, as well as Aveda’s full range of hair, skin and makeup products.All services incorporate aromatherapy and reflexology so clients begin with aconsultation to find out what oils will best suit you. Those oils are used during yoursalon and spa treatments and products can be customized so that you can incorporatethem in your daily life.As a certified yoga teacher, Dr. Rao has always incorporated complementary healingmodalities such as yoga and massage into her practice. She also hosts lectures andworkshops on a wide range of wellness topics. Adding a salon and spa that uses onlythe most natural products is the next step in her vision of providing the best care forthe mind, body and spirit.Kudos to Swathi for making her mother’s dream come true.Visit Dr. Hema Rao and Swathi at Triveni Spa, located at 985 37th Place, VeroBeach, Florida.

MY BRAIN TUMORDon’t Let Your Handicap Stop Your Dreams!In May, 2004 I was diagnosed witha brain tumor. I under went 8 hours ofbrain surgery which left me completelydeaf in my right ear. Right after thesurgery we got hit with two hurricanes,Frances and Jeanne, while I was tryingto recover, and had no power for 14days, more trauma. Then I developedfluid on my brain and found I developedscar tissue in the form of a cyston my brain. I had to go back to thehospital in October, 2004. After thesurgery I was unable to walk withoutfalling down for several years becausemy balance was off. I found out thecause several years later, it was becausethe nerve tissues in my deaf ear werepartially alive, therefore, it did notcompensate for my partially deaf leftear to give me back my balance. Thetwo years following the brain surgery Iwent through invasive treatments totry and deaden the nerves to give memy balance back. Since I had beenextremely active all my life, thisbecame a daily challenge to get aroundwithout falling over and very traumaticto me to not be able to do the thingsI had enjoyed doing.In April, 2006 a new set of doctorsat the University of Miami told meabout a BAHA. A Bone AnchoredHearing Aid which is implanted inyour skull. In October, 2006 the doctorsperformed the surgery and placedthe BAHA in my skull. The doctorswould not fit me for the BAHA untilApril of 2007. This whole experiencewas a life altering situation for mewhereas I had to live with this for therest of my life. So, here I am deaf inone ear, 50% deaf in the other ear, poorbalance and falling on my butt all thetime. Determined, I kept undergoinghours of therapy and rehabilitation.After this major change in my lifeand everything I have been though,knowing life is too short and younever know when it is going to end,made me more determined to go aftermy dream. I have always wanted myown business.During my childhood my parentshad a catering business and I alwaysloved to cook and make people happywith food. So, through my childhoodexperiences of always being aroundfood, having survived everything Ihave been though from the brain surgery,I took a second mortgage on myhouse and opened Gattuso’s ItalianSpecialty Market located at 900 SWMartin Downs Boulevard in PalmCity, Florida. The store is a recreationof the mom and pop market that Igrew up with and a lot of people knowabout because it reminds them of theirlocal corner market. The store alsoresembles an old European marketwith sounds of Italian music in thebackground and the smells of foodcooking. I get help from Eli Rich, whois a retired food chemist. With hisexperience as a food chemist and culinaryeducation he knows how ingredientscome together to make a particularflavor. Eli has a scientific approachwhere I have a home grown approach.The combination of the two of ustogether really works. I pride myselfwith giving each new customer a personaltouch and showing them what Ihave to offer and suggest cooking ideasto them. I have some recipes postedthroughout the store and write amonthly food column which is publishedPhoto: Dick Hall; Out2Newsin five newspapers forSeabreeze Publications.Everything in the store iscustomer driven and I have sourcedout the best of the best. My customerslove the personal touch and the storiesbehind the food. They tell me that noother store or market does this.It seems like just yesterday when Iopened the store but this is my 3rdyear. I have added a Caffe’ servingsandwiches and have prepared mealsto go along with catering for parties.This has been my life long passion,Paula S. Macri, OwnerGattuso’s Italian Specialty Market900 SW Martin Downs BoulevardPalm City, Florida 34990772-781-3004gattusositalianmarekt@yahoo.comto own my own business! Even thoughI am handicapped and still haveproblems with my balance and fallingover, it does not stop my determinationto keep going one day at a time.Remember, life is too short! Don’t letyour handicap stop you from livingyour dreams! I am! I pray to Godeveryday giving thanks for waking upand enjoying life.4041

He has made a gingerbreadcreation at Christmastime every yearwith the exception of one since he wasinspired when seeing a similar display in1978 while in Hawaii.This year’s creation – which alsoresembles a Christmas tree – began withInternet research of pagoda designs.Heffner then measured for proportionsand drew his design out on graph paper.Then the baking started. He baked sheets ofgingerbread, 3/4 –inch thick, and attachedthem to plywood supports. He placed a lightinside the pagoda and began placing hiscandy decorations in places that would behard to reach as the project went on.His only enemy – humidity!
