Summarize the following:
It is normal to feel extremely tired following a surgery, especially if you had a major operation or a general anesthetic. Spend time in bed and do only as much as you feel up to doing during these first few days. Pushing yourself too early may be detrimental to your recovery.  Avoid any heavy lifting or rigorous exercise during this time. Ask your doctor how long you should rest right after your surgery. This will vary depending on the type of procedure. As a general rule, it is important to get your body moving as much as possible once you start recovering from surgery. Movement will encourage blood flow and strengthen your muscles, making it easier for your body to heal. Ask your doctor how much you are allowed to exercise while you recover and what activities you should avoid.  Moderate walking is usually the best exercise to begin with while you are healing. If you spend time recovering in a hospital, asking a nurse or orderly for help walking if necessary. If you are not yet steady on your feet, you may benefit from using a walker or cane to help you keep your balance. High-impact sports, heavy lifting, and rigorous exercise can all cause strain to your body that may delay your healing after surgery. Listen to your doctor's instructions about recovery time and restricted activities. Depending on the surgery you have, you may have to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks or months until your body is fully healed. With major surgeries, your doctor will generally provide you with a specific diet to follow after your operation. Follow any directions or meal plans your doctor gives you very closely while you heal. Eating foods or ingredients that irritate your stomach or cause swelling may hinder your recovery.   Processed foods are likely to cause inflammation and stomach irritation. Foods like fatty fish, walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, leafy green vegetables, and turmeric can help reduce inflammation in your body. Many post-surgery diets are high in fiber to prevent constipation, which can cause you to strain and in turn hurt the site of your surgical wound. Lean protein like chicken or fish will help repair body tissue and boost your energy after surgery.

summary: Rest for the first few days after your operation. Move around as soon as you can, with your doctor's permission. Avoid strenuous activity while you heal. Follow your doctor's diet recommendations to avoid complications.

It helps to have a hard copy and a red pen, but this is not necessary. A misspelled word can change the entire meaning of the entire sentence. Don't rely on your spellchecker. If you aren't certain about a word look it up in the dictionary. Commonly misspelled words are: misspelled, received, believe, a lot, their, occurred, definitely. Without proper grammar, the written piece can become confusing. Jumping between tenses and points-of-view is difficult for a reader to follow.  Consistently remain in one point-of-view. These are first-person (I/me), second-person (you), and third-person (he/she/they). Make sure your tenses match. Example: They were playing outside and are hungry. "Are" should be "were." Look closely at passive sentences. Passive sentences are sentences where the subject is receiving the action, rather than performing the action. A passive voice example: "The ball was kicked by him." vs. the active: "He kicked the ball." Not all passive voice sentences are wrong, but they should be used with care. Are you using commas, semicolons, periods correctly? Link Commas, in particular, are used incorrectly and people often avoid using semicolons altogether.  One common punctuation error is the comma splice. Example: "The hike is hard, so bring some water." The comma is unnecessary. Do not use commas for periods. Example: "The water is very blue, the ship is big." The Oxford Comma: this is an optional comma, but it often serves to make the listing of items in a sentence clearer. A well-known example: "We invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin." The comma comes after "JFK." Without it that sentence reads: "We invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin." The lack of comma turns JFK and Stalin into the strippers. Periods and commas always go inside quotations marks in the U.S. Example: "There are many birds here," said Bill. For the U.K. and Canada, the rules are different. Ask yourself if the sentence makes sense independent of the surrounding sentences. Each sentence must act as a complete thought.  Avoid sentence fragments: "The English Language is complicated. As it is a conglomeration of Latin, early French, and early German." This should be one sentence. Starting a sentence with "because" is only acceptable in a few instances. Example: "Because the sentence was so difficult he could not complete it." Alternate with long and short sentences. This will break the monotony of too many similar-sounding sentences. Language should be lyrical and interesting, even in an essay.  Long sentences tend to provide more information. They may have several clauses with various kinds of punctuation. Short sentences are more likely used to make a point. These words are not intrinsically bad, but need to be used with care. A few examples are:  all a lot like as if due to the fact Most adverbs like: slowly, really, very, suddenly, lovely, friendly. There are differences between writing an essay, an article, and a novel. If you are writing an essay tone, especially, can dock you points.  For an essay, avoid first person and phrases like "I think." It is best to remain in third person. An article or story can be more lax depending on its type, and may use any of the three perspectives. Unless specified by the teacher, and essay should not be informal. A second pair of eyes is always better. Make sure that this person knows their stuff and will be honest about it.

summary: Read over your written piece. Check your spelling. Check your grammar. Check your punctuation. Read each sentence separately. Vary sentence structure. Rewrite sentences that include overused words. Maintain an appropriate tone. Ask a trusted friend or advisor to read over your work.


Summarize the following:
Pilar cysts develop after puberty and have an autosomal dominant inheritance. This means that they occur in both sexes and if one parent carries the gene for a pilar cyst then it increases the risk that the children will experience these cysts. Seventy percent of people who get them will have multiple cysts over their lifetime.  There is no known cause at this time for cysts that develop in the breast tissue. Doctors do not have a clear answer about the risk factors and prevention for Cystic acne but it is believed to be related to increasing hormonal levels in puberty and pregnancy and deep infections from hair follicles plugged by sebum (oil on the skin). Most cysts are not but some are. For instance, prevention for a pilonidal cyst includes wearing clothing that is not tight, maintaining normal weight limits, and getting up from a seated position every 30 minutes throughout the day.  According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there is no effective means of preventing an epidermoid cyst from forming. However, there are groups of people who appear to be at greater risk for developing them: more men than women, acne sufferers, and people who spend a long time in the sun.  People who have suffered hand injury are more likely to experience an epidermoid or ganglion cyst on the hand. Bartholin gland cysts can occur after injury to the area at the opening to the vagina. While most cysts are not preventable, you can lower your risks of getting the ones that are. Use oil-free skin products and avoiding excessive sun exposure. Shaving and waxing may also be responsible for cyst formation. Avoid excessive shaving and waxing in areas where you have already gotten cysts to prevent reformation or new cysts.
summary: Understand which cysts are not preventable. Understand which cysts are preventable. Lower your chances of developing cysts.
