I am moving on the the next phase--treating cancer patients. Will be in Chicago next week to talk about space medicine.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! (An STS129 Thanksgiving memory, 2009 in space w/Capt. Mike Foreman @astro_flow Dr. Robert L.Satcher)

Did a video with Dr. Bob Thirsk on ISS looking at medical operations there. Will post in the next week.

Did our blood draws today on orbit. In zero g it’s a bit trickier to take a blood sample. Surface tension dominates the fluid dynamics.

Transitioning from zero g to 1 g is also dynamic. Biggest effect is on sense of balance. I feel almost baseline after 24 hours.

@salliboo Its more like if you close your eyes and spin fast; or if you have been on a boat in wavy conditions.

Now is 6 days since our landing at KSC. I worked out today and feel close tonormal. Balance is baseline, leg strength still recovering.

I feel fully recovered from the spaceflight. I will be talking to orthopaedic surgeons next year at the Am. Academy of Ortho. Surg. meeting
