CPM

If you look at David's picture in the hospital in my earlier post, you will notice that his knee is elevated. He is on a CPM (continuous positive motion machine). This machine constantly moves David's knee through various degrees of range of motion for hours while he relaxes.

With David's new knee, this machine, my swallowing a camera and having it travel through my system to find a leaking blood vessel, and the implantation of new lenses in my eyes, my brother and I are good examples of how modern medical developments can add to the quality of life as we grow older. Just imagine what stem cell research might bring forth.
