Research papers claim men with KD tend to lose about 2% of muscle mass per year.  But I've been tracking it in myself and it isn't a flat line.  I can gain a little muscle when everything is going well but lose it quickly during sickness and injuries.  I'm wishing Bob strength and rapid healing. | 
|  Registered: 09-28-2005 Posts: 654 | Lolo, I am sorry to hear of Bob's fall. I fell several years ago and broke my tibia and fibula. It took three months of hard work to come back from that, but I learned my lesson and used a wheelchair from then on when I was walking around.  The link in Todd Allen's post above is the correct one. In the past, the collection of tissue is a very small amount as outlined in the guide. Other organs might be of interest to other donor organnizations, however. I hope this helps. |
