What is Palliative Care

Mr. Bill Smith had just turned 65. He was looking forward to the golden retirement years he had always dreamed about. His wife would be retiring soon; they would have time to spend together. But things weren’t really going all that well…

You see, Mr. Smith had prostate cancer. He had had it a few years.

In fact, he had taken quite a few treatments for the disease. He had been through radiation treatments, hormone treatments and several different types of chemotherapy.

Bill felt tired all the time. His muscles felt sore all over, especially in the mornings. The soreness in his muscles was so intense, some mornings he felt he just about couldn’t get out of bed. He also had a different kind of pain in his hands, feet and legs. It was like they were numb but they hurt all the time. Bill wasn’t sleeping well. He had planted a garden in the spring. Now, he didn’t even feel up to harvesting its bounty. His wife was still working, and after a long day’s work, she had to come and pick the vegetables and tool the garden. She had let Bill know just how much she resented that.

Bill was seeing his cancer specialist and had seen his family doctor.

They had prescribed pain medicine and an anti-depressant, but he still had the muscle soreness, the intense fatigue, and the arm and leg pain.

A nurse suggested palliative care. Bill wasn’t sure about it, but he called for an appointment with the palliative care doctor. The doctor came to his home. He sat down and listened to Bill. He had lots of questions about the types of pain Bill was having. During the examination, he asked Bill about constipation; something Bill hadn’t thought to tell his other doctors.

The doctor made several changes to Bill’s medicines. He talked about avoiding medicines that would make Bill feel more fatigued. He strongly recommended marital counseling. The doctor actually talked to Bill about renewing his spiritual side of his life.

Gradually, Bill started to feel better and his energy level improved.

He knows he still had cancer, but he felt he could deal with it. Palliative care is for people who have serious life threatening illness and need help with management of the symptoms of the disease.

Southwest Pork Tacos Perfected

(Family Features) This fuss-free recipe can be prepared in a variety of ways; create sizzling pork chops in a skillet or hot off the grill — the perfect excuse to get a head start on grilling season. To kick things up even more, try a rice pilaf dish on the side. Chop up some cilantro to stir into the rice for an added layer of flavor.

To ensure your pork tacos are juicy and tender, cook your chops to an internal temperature of 145°F with a 3-minute rest. Be sure to use a digital cooking thermometer to get the most delicious results.

What’s your favorite regional pork recipe? Share your recipes and discover others from across the country on Pork Social at www.porkbeinspired.com/porksocial.com Honey and Spice Sautéed Pork Hand Tacos Prep time: 15-20 minutes Cook time: 5 minutes Yield: 4 servings, 2 tacos each 1 pound thinly-cut boneless chops (1/2-inch thick), cut into strips 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (smoked or plain paprika can be used as an alternative) 8 small corn tortillas, warmed 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce 1 cup pico de gallo*

Sour cream or crema to taste In a medium sized bowl combine the honey, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and ground chipotle pepper and whisk to combine. Add the sliced pork to the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the slices of pork to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, flipping with tongs in the middle of the cooking process. Once cooked, remove the pork to a plate and reserve.

Arrange 8 corn tortillas on a platter. Sprinkle each with equal amounts of shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. Arrange a few pieces of pork on top of each taco, and top with sour cream or crema if desired. * You can find prepared pico de gallo, typically a combination of onions, chiles, tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro, in the refrigerated section of the produce department in most major supermarkets.

Creative Mother’s Day Crafts (Family Features) For Mother’s Day, celebrate the nurturing nature of mom with a specially painted flower pot that holds her favorite herbs or flowers.

The Chalkboard Herb Pot and Mommy’s Favorite Flower Pot projects from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores don’t require any special skills, so anyone can make a customized gift for mom, grandma, or any other special mom in their life.

· · ·

Tips for Using Chalkboard Paint Chalkboard paint comes in classic black, but also comes in other colors as well.

Make sure it’s completely dry before trying to write on it.

Some chalkboard paints require you to condition the paint with chalk before using it. Read label instructions carefully.

Tips for Decorating · Using spray paint and hot glue guns may require adult supervision. · Give the kids creative control – it may not turn out perfectly neat, but it will be perfect for mom. · Not sure what to paint on the flower pot? Let the kids dip a hand or foot into the paint and put prints onto the pot. Or, cut fun shapes out of sponges or potatoes and let them stamp around the pot.

You can find more ideas, project guides and supplies at www.joann.com.
