Williams back to business on Earth continued from p.6 Williams described being in a space shuttle and on the International Space Station to driving down the highway on a bus -- but doing a space walk was more like driving down the highway on a motorcycle. "When you are doing a space walk, you are in your own space suit, which is a spacecraft in and of itself and you realize it is just you and your space walking partner out there and a pretty amazing view of the Earth," said Williams. The married, father of two retired from active astronaut status in 2008, moved to Oakville and heads Newmarket's Southlake Regional Health Centre. "When I was director of Life Sciences, my job was to understand the medical consequences of sending people into space for six months onboard the International Space Station. What we learned was you suffer from bone loss, your muscles lose strength, you have changes in the regulation of your blood pressure and you tend to lose your balance when you come back. "All of these are very similar to the types of change we see to elderly patients who have been admitted to the hospital for long periods. Now, as a hospital CEO, we're very passionate in understanding what we used to do in the space program and are preconditioning patients, optimizing levels of activity and making sure people are mobile to decrease some of these changes." checK out the Brand neW, reDesigneD checK out the Brand neW, reDesigneD checK out the Brand neW, reDesigneD 7 | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com H Hospice ospice V Volunteers olunteers N Needed eeded m uch fo r " T ha nk you so ca re an d all th e years of ght to m y joy you ha ve brou wee spot in Dad.
