Man not adjusting to early retirement DEAR ABBY: My husband lost his job more than a year ago because his plant closed. He was almost retirement age, so he took an early retirement. The problem is he isn’t adjusting well to the change. He has his hobbies, but he seems to have lost interest in them. He is angry a lot of the time and lost at other times. I understand it’s a huge adjustment for him, but I’m concerned that it has been going on too long. I have tried to get him interested in things, but he doesn’t take my suggestions well anymore. He thinks I want him out of my hair, but it’s not true. I want him to be happy. I know he’s depressed but he denies it. When other people ask how he likes retirement, he says he loves it. I think he feels silly for not enjoying it. He doesn’t want to spend

Your husband may have valuable skills he could pass on by mentoring others. He could volunteer in the community, delivering meals to shut-ins, coaching youngsters’ sports, help out at the police department or a hospital. All he needs to do is go to his computer and type in “volunteer opportunities in Michigan” to find plenty of opportunities. He can donate as little or as much time as he wants. But first, he will have to admit that he ISN’T loving retirement and needs an outlet. Please make sure he sees this column.

sometimes, medication. Your doctor will tailor recommendations to what your kidney stone is made of. Prevention may involve: • Water. Drinking plenty of fluids keeps your urine dilute, so minerals won’t accumulate into stones. Drink at least 10 glasses of fluid a day, half of which should be water. • Calcium. Most kidney stones contain calcium. Surprisingly, dietary calcium is protective. That’s because it reduces the amount of oxalate that is absorbed from the gut, and it is the combination of calcium and oxalate that forms stones. Good sources include milk, cheese, yogurt, oranges and broccoli. On the other hand, calcium supplements can increase your risk for kidney stones because they increase the calcium in your blood and urine but do not decrease the oxalate. Avoid calcium supplements if you’ve had calcium kidney stones.

Almanac •
DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently passed a kidney stone — and I would do anything to prevent another one from forming. Can kidney stones be prevented? DEAR READER: I’ve never had a kidney stone myself, but I’ve had plenty of patients who suffered from them. So I know that they really hurt. Kidney stones are hard chemical deposits that form inside the kidneys. They are often as small as grains of sand and pass painlessly out of the body in urine. But kidney stones can be much bigger — the size of a pea, a marble or even larger. But if a stone gets into the ureters — the tubes that connect each kidney to the bladder — it can cause intense pain and bleeding. This may require medication and/or hospitalization to have the stone removed or broken into fragments.
money for counseling, even though he knows he can get the fee adjusted according to our income. I’m at a DEAR loss about ABBY what to do to help him. He your Jeanne Phillips reads column regularly, and I think he would take seriously any advice you could offer. — CONCERNED WIFE IN MICHIGAN DEAR CONCERNED WIFE: Retirement is not for everyone, and not everybody “loves it.” That’s why it’s so important that before a person retires, he or she have a plan in place for staying mentally and physically active.
• Oxalate. Oxalate often binds to calcium to form kidney stones. Cut down on high-oxalate foods, which include beets, spinach, chard, rhubarb, tea, coffee, cola, chocolate and nuts. • Sodium. Keep sodium intake under 1,500 mg a day. A low-sodium diet reduces the amount of calcium the kidney puts into the urine. • Protein. Avoid or limit red meat. Animal protein increases the tendency of stones to form. • Fruits and vegetables. Plant-based foods protect against kidney stones. High-potassium fruits such as tomatoes and bananas are best. Citrus fruits — except grapefruit — are another good choice. • Obesity. Obesity increases risk. Shed excess pounds. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.
