New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.

First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

Lobular Protrusion Causes Concern for a Spontaneous Rupture

Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 80-year-old woman in good health with low blood pressure, and the only medication I take is levothyroxine. A 6-by-5.5-mm aneurysm was discovered in my brain, and the scan shows one lobular protrusion that may be of concern for rupture.

I am trying to decide if I should go through with a procedure, but I am not sure about the effectiveness, risks, and possible post-procedure adverse reactions. It is my understanding that these coils have been on the market for a while, and I was wondering which product is best if this information is available. I was informed that the coil is made of platinum.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Two last questions: Does the coil lead to clotting, causing the aneurysm to be occluded? What prevents blood clots from entering the vascular system in the brain and causing problems? -- I.C.

Social Security to recover overpayments

A.ANSWER: An aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of the artery, which causes part of the artery to enlarge. If the enlargement is big enough, a person is at risk for rupture, which causes a bleed inside the brain that can lead to a potentially devastating stroke, depending on the size and location of the aneurysm.

When the aneurysm is big enough to be concerned for rupture, they are considered for repair, which can be done through the surgical placement of a clip or by placing a platinum coil inside the aneurysm. This is done endovascularly, meaning that a catheter is placed in the affected artery. Under a fluoroscopy (a real-time X-ray), the coil is opened up. This causes a clot in the aneurysm, which protects the thinned wall from enlarging further and reduces the risk of rupture.

You are quite right that the clot can propagate and break off. A large study showed that this can happen up to 9% of the time, but newer techniques and medications to prevent this complication have the potential to reduce it further.

Your neurosurgeon needs to weigh the risk of a clot or rupture during the procedure against the benefit of preventing a spontaneous rupture of the aneurysm. This takes judgment, and only your doctor can make this call based on the precise characteristics of your aneurysm and your overall medical condition.

I will note that the risk of rupture or a clot breaking off are lower when the aneurysm hasn’t ruptured, compared to when the procedure is done as an emergency. You also have to rely on your surgeon to choose the best product for you. Unfortunately, there aren’t studies to guide the decision, so it’s left to clinical judgment. With my own patients, I defer to the surgeon.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

Word is that Social Security is going to “claw back” any overpayment to the tune of 100% of the monthly benefit check until it’s all paid back, inciting panic across the land.

But it’s not necessarily true.

That recovery of benefits will only affect overpayments that began on March 27 of this year. Yes, they’ll take full payments until that overpayment is repaid. But any overpayments made prior to that date will be made at the rate that was in place before: 10% of the benefit check.

So, if your check is usually $1,000, the amount they’ll take out is $100, not your full check. It will be the same if you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). They’ll take 10%, not the full check.

Not that having any amount deducted will be easy.

Before you start to panic that you might get the dreaded “overpayment” letter from Social Security, here are a few facts, courtesy of a report by Social Security’s Office of the Inspector General:

Overpayment (and even underpayment) doesn’t happen very often, in less than 1% of benefits paid.

There are two main reasons why an error can occur: People report the wrong information about their income or fail to make corrections if there are changes (especially those who are under full retirement age and still working), and there are problems with Social Security’s processing, specifically errors made when workers enter the data.

If you receive the overpayment letter, you might be able to waive the recovery of the amount owed, especially if the overpayment was not your fault. Go to the Social Security website and look for SSA form 632 (www.ssa. gov/forms/ssa-632.html). If that doesn’t go well, you can appeal by using SSA form 561 (www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-561.html).

You can also try calling them at 800-772-1213. If that doesn’t work, look for a Social Security office in your area by going to secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main. jsp and putting in your ZIPp code.

Tick season shi s into full gear – are you ready?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Happy” and I went hiking this weekend, and when we got back to the car, I did the usual check for bugs and burrs on his long coat. I was shocked to find 12 tiny ticks clinging to his fur. I brushed them off and found five more scurrying around my boot laces. These are baby ticks, right? Should I be worried about tick bites for both of us? -- Karl M., Roanoke, Virginia

DEAR KARL: You should continue to be vigilant over the next few days, but don’t worry too much -- unless Happy shows signs of illness. Doing a “tick check” after each trip outdoors is important, and you did exactly what you needed to do.

Over the next few days, brush through Happy’s coat frequently to dislodge any additional ticks. Newly hatched ticks are indeed tiny and hard to see. Run your hand through Happy’s coat so that you can check his skin for visible bites or lodged ticks.If you notice a bull’s-eye rash around an area, contact the veterinarian.

If you haven’t treated your hiking boots or clothing with permethrin yet, now is the time to do so. Spray the treatment outside, away from Happy or any other animal, and do not let Happy near those clothes until they have dried completely. The permethrin will stay effective through a few washes.

To keep ticks out of the house, follow similar procedures to flea prevention. Give Happy a regular flea and tick preventative; vacuum and mop the house regularly, and terminate any ticks you find.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT A VETERINARY DENTAL CLEANING

Anesthesia: One of the main differences between a dental cleaning for a person and one for a pet is the use of anesthesia. According to Kulshan Veterinary Hospital, pets do not willingly open their mouths to give veterinary dentists access to perform cleanings. Anesthesia ensures that the animal will remain still and the vet can remove any plaque and tartar that has built up. If a tooth needs to be extracted, sedation ensures that will go smoothly.

My Lucky Day

Thank you so very much to whoever found and turned in my cell phone on St. Patrick’s Day at the local Post Office. I was doing a complicated mailing and set my phone down on the counter to look up an address. I was several miles away when I noticed it was missing and anxiously drove back expecting it to be gone. When I asked at the front desk, the clerk presented the phone to me and said someone had turned it in and didn’t leave their name. I am very appreciative of the honesty and integrity of this person and they made my St. Patrick’s Day a truly lucky day!

Coffee, Breakfast Kindness

My special THANKS to the kind young woman who thought she had cut me off at our drive thru coffee establishment in Hamlin. It was a cold, snowy morning almost 2 months ago. I had pulled over to answer my phone before entering the drive thru lane. A woman went around me. I finished my call and pulled in behind her. She must have thought she cut me off and kindly paid for my coffee and breakfast wrap as an apology-- you don’t see that consideration often!, How very thoughtful of her. I had no way to thank her or to assure her that she did NOT cut me off. I took that amount of money I was going to pay for my meal, added to it and donated it to our food bank. I hope that it pays forward and the thoughtful lady reads this!!

Parking Illegally

I live on [local road] and there are “No Parking” signs up and down the street. My visitors obey the signs and park in the public parking lot or if it’s a quick stop, we use our flashers. Unfortunately, there have been numerous times that vehicles parking in front of [local address] were there for hours and even overnight!! Maybe a ticket or two would remedy the owners disregard for that parking. I also hope they don’t block the firetrucks trying to turn in or out of their parking lot. It’s been close a couple of times.

ink Before You Speak

There are amazing people today, so I don’t mean to overgeneralize, but let’s think before we speak, shall we?! When you call up a business to complain about a service that’s not really in their purview but you holler and yell over the phone, what does that accomplish?! Likely, the person answering the phone does not get paid enough to be berated for something out of their control. More power to the folks who can answer phone lines when customers are known to be upset more often than not, but to holler and yell at a receptionist who helps direct your calls and take down information to help you and your fellow humans, that’s really low.

Let’s remember to be civil. If that means we need to wait a moment to cool down before calling someone, so be it. You’ll catch more flies with honey, as the old adage goes.

The Famed Four-Corner Churches of Palmyra Stand Together Through Time

From almost anywhere in the village of Palmyra you can see the steeples of four churches. All built in the 1800s, they even made it into Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not” in 1938. Erected on the four corners where Main Street crosses Church Street to Canandaigua Street, they were thought to be a unique phenomenon in the United States, and it’s possible they still are. Making them even more unique, each church is home to a different denomination.

While the First Zion Episcopal Church building was built on the four corners in 1827, it wasn’t until 1872 and 1873 that the current building was erected. e Western Presbyterian Church organized in 1816, but the building that stands there now was built in 1832. Like the other two churches, the First Baptist Church (now known as the Canal Town Community Church), was first built on the four corners in 1835, but it was rebuilt in 1870 a er a fire. Finally, the First Methodist Church was constructed in 1867, completing the famed four-corner churches.

Sadly, the Methodist church closed in 2019 and has since been purchased. It now serves as an Airbnb, with the front display welcoming families who come to stay. Despite these changes, Tracy Murphy, director of Historic Palmyra, said that the fact they’re all still standing is pretty amazing. “I think it’s pretty cool that they were that close and they survived all these years, with the exception of the Methodist Church closing. Most of the churches have great congregations, and they’re still doing things like hosting food pantries and nursery schools,” she said.

According to Murphy, each building and church has unique characteristics. For instance, the Western Presbyterian Church has beautiful pillars out front as well as an organ from 1865 that still works. It’s also steeped in historical significance as a part of the Underground Railroad. Rev. Horace Eaton, who served as the pastor from 1849-1879, was an abolitionist. His office was at the bottom of the bell

tower, and he and his wife hid freedom seekers next to the tower. e church is also a stop on Historic Palmyra’s annual Underground Railroad Walk and Talk. Another claim to fame for the Presbyterian Church includes the marriage of Winston Churchill’s maternal grandparents.

“I think the interesting thing about the Methodist Church is they say it was built on faith and sacrifice,” Murphy said. Back in 1867 it cost $30,000. But when they dedicated it, they were debt-free because the congregation sacrificed their money for the church.

The Episcopal Church is something you have to see. It’s gorgeous in there. It was built with Medina sandstone. It’s like a gothic design inside. They also have stained glass in each of the windows.

e Baptist Church (Canal Town Community Church) has stained glass windows and a spire that’s 125 feet high. e Episcopal Church has a tower that’s also 125 feet high, but while it may seem to be attached to the church, it’s actually not, Murphy noted. It was built as a memorial to Palmyra resident George Cuyler’s three daughters.

“ e Episcopal Church is something you have to see. It’s gorgeous in there. It was built with Medina sandstone. It’s like a gothic design inside,” she said. “ ey also have stained glass in each of the windows.”

While the four churches have changed pastors and people, with some even changing their names and overall mission, the buildings stand tall, still drawing interest because of their unique location to each other, because of a shared history. In fact, on Main Street, especially in the summer, you might o en see people taking pictures of the four churches.

“As long as people realized there were four churches on the corner, they’ve been flocking to see them,” Murphy said. “Wayne County is known as the burned over district, but having those four core churches kind of gave us stability or a sense of safety and community. I think they brought a lot of diversity to Palmyra.”

STAY SAFE WHEN LANDSCAPING

Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines.

Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it.

Easter eggs: While Easter eggs may seem like a secular symbol of Easter, their connection to Easter dates back many centuries. CatholicCulture. org notes that the early Christians saw the egg as symbolic of the tomb out of which Christ emerged when he was resurrected. Early Christians even painted Easter eggs, much like parents do with their children today, and even had them blessed and gave them as gifts. Historians believe King Edward I of England, who ruled from 1272 to 1307, dyed boiled eggs and gave them to members of his royal household on Easter.

FACTORS THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT MOOD

Chronic stress: Chronic stress has long been linked to a host of health problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, chronic stress puts individuals at increased risk for heart disease and weight gain but also issues that affect mood, including anxiety and depression. Individuals who find themselves routinely confronting bad moods may be dealing with chronic stress. Identifying the source of that stress and speaking with a health care professional about how to reduce and manage it may lead to improvements in mood.
