Is physical therapy necessary after acute ankle sprain?

Ankle sprains are a common injury that impact thousands of people every day. One statistic would suggest that Levi Frasier, ankle sprains impact as many as 35,000 people per day in the United States.

PT The major concern with ankle sprain is if left untreated it may lead to ongoing symptoms and resultant disability. The incidence of injuring the same ankle a second time is as high as 20% within 3 years after the initial sprain.

Physical therapy may assist in recovery of function influencing strength, mobility and balance with therapeutic exercise. Physical therapists are also trained to address limitations associated with swelling, limited joint motion and pain. With a proper evaluation and development of a treatment plan the rehabilitation process can then be managed independently.

Physical therapy can be a valuable resource to manage your injury effectively and prevent re-injury.

Please contact the Institute of Physical therapy for assistance with your ankle injury in relieving pain and restoring function.

teau. Signals from the brain and body meant to make us feel full do not work as well. The good news is these changes are temporary; but they last longer than most people expect. It is not uncommon for it to take as many as three months before the brain determines there is not a starvation problem.

Most of the time, the answer is to be patient, keeping up the healthy nutritional habits that have been established.

When a person cuts back calories during a plateau, the measures the brain takes to prevent starvation become even stronger, which usually results in feeling very hungry and miserable.

If after a month or two, things truly aren’t changing, this can sometimes indicate an underlying metabolic or hormonal problem that needs to be addressed. A few inexpensive blood tests can determine if a blood sugar or insulin problem is interfering with progress.

So don’t give up if your weight loss seems to be stalled. I tell my patients to celebrate plateaus when they arrive, as they mark an important step in the process that no one gets to skip. The key is committing to waiting out the brain’s powerful response to fat loss. ——— Geidl practices at Northwest Metabolic Medicine at 505 S. Mountain View Road, Suite No. 3 in Moscow.

PART IV

A day in the life of a home health aide F

or my fourth visit, I had to really be careful. This client had no control over her actions, as her brain had been invaded by the deadly Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

This is a disease caused by prions that are transmitted by various means. El Dorado County (Calif.) had 10 cases at once, and two of those were mine. At the time, all known cases were coming from one eye surgeon in the Sacramento area. Therefore, it was believed that it was caused by improperly cleaned instruments used during eye surgery. Since then, it has been found to be transmittable by several different means, such as eating the brains of infected animals and people. In New Guinea, it was customary to eat one’s ancestors, for it was thought that by doing so, all of the knowledge and the skills of the ancestor would be passed on to the relatives.

The people I cared for only lasted for three months, but those three months were terrible. The thing that made this so dangerous for me was the fact that this disease causes paranoia. Their greatest fear was of being bathed, especially the shower. I solved this by giving good bed baths.

A home health aide has to protect herself. It was my job to bathe, shampoo, brush teeth, dress them, clean the sheets and everything else needed.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob sufferers’ brains are seething with contagious prions, and if they bite anyone, they can transmit them through their saliva.

I always made prayer an important part of each visit, and while driving to patients’ homes, I pray for them, and also pray that I might be inspired as to how to handle each situation. It would never even occur to me to turn down any assignment, no matter the danger.

After praying about Ella, it came to mind that she might calm down if I hummed little tunes, while caring for her. I must admit I have a head full of songs most of the time, and they just come out of my mouth without me noticing. I had sung little songs to people with severe dementia and it worked, so why not Ella?

Her husband had informed me that whenever he tried to put her into the shower she became hysterical and violent; she had bitten him several time. (I wondered how much longer he had before the disease was made manifest in him.)

I noticed a big mirror with builtin vanity, so I sat Ella in front of it, where she became mesmerized with her own image. Using dishpans of warm water I began washing her hair, then bathing her by removing just a part of her clothing a piece at a time and covering her with a towel.

I have learned many ways to bathe people. All this time, I had worked from behind her, so as to keep her focused on her image in the mirror.

All the while, I sang little children’s songs such as, “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree.” She began smiling and tried to sing along.

I switched to “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and she began singing along, smiling broadly. All the while, my hands were flying, getting the job done. Her husband peeked around the corner, and he began to smile.

Soon she was bathed and dressed, and the bedding changed. The job had gone well. This continued for a few short weeks until she had passed away, and I never was bitten.

Donna Kerr, 82

Eleanor Dill, 90

Donna Kerr of Lewiston was born in 1936 in Orofino, where she attended school through high school.

On Sept. 25, 1954, at age 18, Donna married Art Donohue. They had four children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of whom died â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one grandson.

Besides being a wonderful mother, Donna worked as a telephone operator and later as a typist for a probate judge.

Favorite pastimes include camping trips her family took each year, crocheting, cooking and baking. Her cookie jar was always full, and she could bake any kind of pie you wanted.

Donna will be honored at a 2:30 p.m. celebration Feb. 19 at Wedgewood Terrace, 2114 Vineyard Ave., along with other birthday celebrants. The public is welcome to attend; reservations are requested by calling (208) 743-4545.

Eleanor Dill of Lewiston was born at home to Richard and Blanche Hartman Hall in 1928 in Winchester, her hometown until 2016.

Eleanor married Douglas Dill in 1947 and became a farm wife near Woodside until they moved closer to town in 1958.

Four children were born to them during that time.

When Doug died in 1989, Eleanor moved back to Winchester and joined the morning coffee group, accessed the library and spent more time with family and friends.

She loved all yard work, flowers and caring for her well-used birdbath in the summer. Every winter, she watched dozens of deer and turkey feed in the neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard.

Eleanor hates cold weather and snow, so she especially loved her cruise to Mexico and her Hawaiian vacations.

Before dementia robbed her of her skills, she made many lovely quilts and embroidered pillowcases.

Eleanor has five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

She lives at Cascadiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation.

Lila DeVault, 94 Lila DeVault of Lewiston was born in 1924 in Casper, Wyo., the third daughter of Arthur and Liela Hirengen.

Her family moved to Lewiston in 1938, and Lila attended Lewis Clark Training School her ninth-grade year.

She then went on to Lewiston High School.

In 1942, she and Lee Card were married. They had three sons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rick, Dale and Leonard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one daughter, Karyl Lynsdorff.

In 1974, she married Everret DeVault. They enjoyed spending winters in Yuma, Ariz., in their motorhome.

Lila worked at Omark, then moved on to being â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Lady Painters,â&#x20AC;? doing interior painting in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes.

She is an excellent seamstress. She made four wedding dresses, along with bridesmaidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attire. She also made American Girl Doll clothes.

‘I have lived enough for 100 lives in my lifetime’

ancer, model, singer, actress, playwright, poet, author … these are just a few of the jobs Yvonne Carrie of Lewiston has held in her lifetime. Sitting in front of a stack of photo albums and scrapbooks, Carrie reminisces about a life she calls “well lived.”

“Life is meant to be lived, so just do it … live. Live for the moment, live for the next day. When life knocks you down, get up, get on track and go on.”

“I was a Go-Go Dancer”

Yvonne Carrie holds an old article announcing her performance in a “Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon.”

A native of Florida raised by her grandmother, Carrie, at 18, earned a degree in nursing and married at a young age. When the marriage ended in divorce, Carrie decided to make a move and chose Houston, Texas, as her new home. She was just 20 years old.“I didn’t know anyone, didn’t have any money, and didn’t know

By SHELLY what I was going to do.” She saw an ad in the local ROMINE paper for a place which was auditioning go-go dancers.

She tried out and was offered the job.

FOR Carrie danced alongside five other girls at a time in GOLDEN glass cages suspended from the ceiling. “Six of us would TIMES dance for an hour, and then the next group of girls would come on. The guys were so obsessed with the go-go girls that we had to have security guards take us to our rooms when we got off work.”

“I love dancing,” said Carrie. “The only problem I ever encountered was with the wives of the men who would come to the club.

You really got some crazy looks from the women. If the men invited you over to the table to have a drink with them, their wives would be throwing daggers at you.” Carrie said that taught her early on to turn down requests to visit client tables.

With a goal of moving closer to home, she left Texas and took another job dancing at a club in Biloxi, Miss. It was there that she was hired to perform in place of dancer Jane Mansfield the night after Mansfield was killed in a car accident. When Carrie’s boss approached her and the other dancers about filling in for Mansfield’s act, she was shocked to learn of her death. “She was such a big star.

We couldn’t believe she was dead.” After performing in her place, she > See KEEP CALM, Page 12

While working at the Biloxi club, Carrie said she also earned a turquoise blue Corvair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boss had a casino located in the back. He was very strict about his girls (dancers) and who they went out with, who they were seen with.â&#x20AC;? When the big rollers came in however, they would ask if the dancers would accompany them into the casino for luck. The club owner was clear with both the gamblers and the dancers on the protocol he expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If any of his girls walked back to the casino,

anything they won through the course of the evening would have to be split with the girl who accompanied him.â&#x20AC;? One evening, Carrie was invited to walk back to the casino with a high roller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He won $20,000 that night, so he had to give me half. I went out the next morning and bought myself a car.â&#x20AC;?

bit parts in films such as “Mad Bull,” “FM” and “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band.”

She also entered a number of beauty pageants.

“In all the pageants I entered, I was always runner up, always most photogenic,” said Carrie. “I was queen of the Rutabega Festival though,” she said with a laugh.

Kissy face

Keep calm &Carrie on

“I won a kissing contest one time,” said Carrie, “with a total stranger.

When I was in Auburn, Calif., they were having this Valentine’s kissing contest at a local bar. I walked up to this random guy and asked him if he wanted to kiss and he said ‘Yeah.’ ” The prize was $100 for the winners. “He didn’t know that there was a kissing contest and asked me when we were going to kiss. I told him when the contest started.” When the contest began, it wasn’t long before the other contestants threw in the towel. Carrie and her partner were lip locked for more than 30 minutes. The next day, the local newspaper ran a picture of the winners. The couple who employed her as a private nurse greeted her the next morning by holding up a copy of the paper, saying ‘Hello, kissy face.’ ”

From the Jerry Lewis telethon to singing in her own band …

In 1980, Carrie auditioned for, and received, one of the singing spots on the “Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon” in Ventura, Calif. “I was really proud of that, because there were about 50 people who auditioned for that show.” Tryouts were held throughout the state.

Not one to let the grass grow beneath her feet, Carrie started her own band, Patchwork Country.

“Linda Rondstadt’s guitar player came in to play for us. I called (Rondstadt) to ask about hiring him. She told me, ‘I don’t want him. You can have him,’ ” Carrie said. “I hired him. We had these big speakers about 6 feet tall, and he was playing guitar — laying back playing the guitar and drunker than a skunk.

“He didn’t miss a lick, but he was dead asleep,” Carrie laughed.

Carrie found out later that the guitar player and Rondstadt had dated before he was let go. “When I was interviewing him, he told me to call Linda and she would tell me something wonderful. Well, when I spoke to her, she didn’t have something so wonderful to say.

He was an excellent guitarist though. I never heard anyone play guitar like him, especially asleep.”

Yvonne Carrie as a go-go girl in the 1960s.

Poetry of life After a move to Auburn, Calif., Carrie began writing plays. One, “Old Jed,” ran for two years straight, Carrie said. “We kept thinking the show had to end, but it kept going because different people would come to the play and they would ask us to do more productions.”

“Well, I never really wanted to be a writer,” Carrie said, “but things just started to come to me. I would be driving down the road and would have to pull over so I could write something down. That is how the poetry began.”

Since discovering poetry at age 40, she has self-published two volumes of poetry and regularly submits for publication. Starting with Nixon, Carrie has written a tribute poem for most sitting presidents, President Trump being her latest recipient. > See KEEP CALM, Page 14 M O N D A Y, F E B R U A R Y 5 , 2 0 1 8
