WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY

NEUROPATHY? Have you been told there is no treatment for your neuropathy? Is the therapy you are doing now not working? Our dedicated team of experienced providers offers effective treatment for neuropathy that can significantly decrease and possibly eliminate your symptoms, and help you enjoy life again.

The treatment that is provided at Array Medical Center has four main goals: 1.) Increase blood flow 2.) Stimulate small fiber nerves 3.) Decrease brain-based pain 4.) Stabilize the nerve cells The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blood flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

CALL OUR OFFICE TODAY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DETERMINE IF YOUR NEUROPATHY CAN BE TREATED.

The medical professionals at ARRAY MEDICAL CENTER, have been successfully helping patients return to an active lifestyle for over 25 years.

The news about the Coronavirus (COVID19) has been a bit concerning. A former colleague of mine, who has been working on the containment of the virus here in the U.S. recently sent me this advice:

8 CE 19

• Avoid unnecessary travel.

Practice good hygiene and chances are you’re more likely to contract the flu than this virus.

So don’t be afraid. Get out there, enjoy your time with friends and family, and wash your hands regularly!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season, and all of our local advertisers!

PAW’S CORNER

THE STRESS OF VISITING THE VET

Q: My poodle mix, “Jester,” is a sweet and energetic dog—until it’s time to go to the vet. When the carrier kennel comes out, he begins to tremble and whine, and resists being put in. He is always very stressed at the vet office. How can I help him be less scared about visiting the vet?

A: You’re not alone in this. Many pets get extremely anxious when they have to go to the veterinarian. And it can be a stressful experience for the owner, too, who knows their pet is so worried and stressed out. Talk to your vet for suggestions and strategies to minimize your dog’s anxiety on the way to the office. The day before Jester’s checkup, call the vet’s office and remind them that your dog will need extra TLC during the visit. This way, the vet is prepared, too. Spend time desensitizing Jester to the carrier cage. This will take a while but will make it easier to place him in the cage for any trip—not just the vet visit.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

The only chemical element that is not a solid at a temperature of absolute zero is helium; it remains a liquid.

Most parents of small children know that trampolines can be dangerous, and they are.

Every year, nearly 100,000 people receive emergency room treatment for injuries sustained while using trampolines. Those injuries are hardly ever fatal, though. Pools, on the other hand, are far more deadly; more than 1,000 people in the United States die in swimming pools annually.

If you look at a list of the names of the 50 states, you’ll find every letter of the alphabet except Q. The Emperor Charlemagne, who conquered much of Western and Central Europe during the first century, had an unusual relationship with his daughters. He refused to allow them to get married, but he evidently had no objections to their forming, shall we say, less formal relationships.

He doted on his illegitimate grandchildren and even gave money and gifts to their fathers.

For reasons unknown, a law in New Jersey forbids the sale of cabbage on Sunday.

EMOTIONAL SPENDING

MONEY

Tips for avoiding this costly trap

Decisions about spending money are often driven by emotions, even if what your heart is telling you goes against logic. Emotional financial choices may provide you with short-term happiness, but they are just as likely to result in long-term regret or debt.

To take a healthier approach to how you spend your money, you need to be less impulsive and more intentional in your thinking, before you pull out your wallet.

Here are some tips for making smarter spending decisions without allowing your emotions to take over.

Know your finances Get an accurate picture of what it costs to maintain your lifestyle and fund your goals. Knowing your fixed and variable expenses, and being able to quantify your goals in terms of dollars and timeframes will help you grasp what you can afford to spend in the near term.

Is it a want or a need?

Ask yourself before you buy if you really need it, or if it will make a huge difference in your life. Can you pay for it right away without touching funds that are earmarked for other important goals? If so, then go for it.

Pause and think twice before buying large items When making major purchases (for example, over $500), take some time between deciding to buy and making the actual purchase. Prioritize your expenditures by categorizing them in terms of cost and effect.

Make a list before shopping Whether shopping for groceries, household items or gifts, creating a list—and sticking to it—will help you avoid impulse buys and save money.

Shop for major holiday gifts throughout the year Set a budget for annual gifts early in the year and take the time to comparison shop to find the best prices.

Take advantage of discounts when you find them.

This helps to spread out expenses, which can add up unexpectedtly around the end of the year. It also ensures you do not get penalized for waiting until the last minute, because when you run out of time, you run out of opportunities to find better deals.

ASKING PRICE

HOME

A fresh coat of paint could help you get exactly what you want

The process of selling your home can be frustrating, because you often have to fix all of the things you don’t like to make the house marketable. That can mean painting your house. Here’s why: Color can ratchet up the price An effective use of color on the exterior of your home can add thousands of dollars to its value, says James Martin, who has been hired by landlords and real estate developers to increase the market value of their properties or improve occupancy rates in their buildings with eyecatching color schemes.

Perception of color is relative If you put a mid-value color (tan) next to pure white, it will look beige. If you put it next to dark green, it will look off-white. Keep this in mind when choosing colors.

If choosing from a fan deck at the paint store, mask off the colors next to it with a white sheet of paper.

Begin with the a neutral color Design your color scheme first according to value. Do you want a dark, medium, or light main color?

Highlight detail carefully Create a balanced effect between the top and bottom of your home. If there’s a lot of detail on the top of your home, you’ll need to create detail on the bottom, too.

Don’t be top-heavy Put darker colors toward the bottom of the house to avoid creating an uncomfortable, top-heavy feel.

Choose colors in the right light Pick colors outside in natural light on a cloudy day or in open shade. Bright light creates glare and can distort your perception of the color.

Be material-minded Make sure the paint colors you choose complement the colors of the other materials of your home, such as the roof, brick, stone or stucco.

Brighten things up Paint gutters and overhead surfaces a lighter color to reflect light and lift the spirit of your home.

Instructions Combine ingredients and shake well; strain over ice.

HEALTH

IMPROVING YOUR FITNESS

Try these approaches to building a better version of yourself

Four in 10 adults in the U.S. have two or more chronic diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While certain conditions and risk factors are beyond one’s control, there is no shortage of lifestyle choices you can make for improved health. If you’re looking to improve your health, try using these tips: Be more physically active. Adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity.

Visit LowerYourHBP.org to better understand blood pressure numbers and take necessary steps to get high blood pressure—also known as hypertension—under control. It will reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.

Reduce your intake of processed foods, especially those with added sodium and sugar. Eat less red meat

and processed meats, and add more plant-based foods, such as olive oil, nuts and seeds to your diet. Also reduce your consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and drink more water instead.

If your health care professional determines that you need antibiotics, take them exactly as prescribed.

Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health problem, and antibiotics will not make you feel better if you have a virus, such as a cold or flu.

If consuming alcohol, do so in moderation as defined by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans—up to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men.

Pain medication is personal. If you’re taking prescription opioids or other medications, follow your doctor’s instructions. Store them safely to prevent misuse, and properly dispose of any leftover medication.

Manage stress. A good diet, sufficient sleep (at least 7.5 hours per night), daily exercise, and wellness activities, like yoga and meditation, are key ingredients to maintaining and improving mental health.

NEED HELP?

LOVE

Marriage counseling could make a massive difference!

If you and your partner are experiencing difficulties, it may be time to consider bringing in a professional marriage counselor to help you resolve issues and find some common ground to stand on once more. The goal is to give you and your partner the tools needed for better communication, improved negotiation and the ability to argue and problem-solve more healthily.

Here are some common reasons you may want to seek counseling: Your partner is not listening In the heat of an argument, it can be easy to focus on what you need to say next, rather than validating your partner’s thoughts and feelings. A marriage counselor can act as a mediator when there are breakdowns in communication, and help both of you develop better listening skills to make sure concerns are heard, aired and dealt with.

LOVE

your

OUTDOORS!

You keep going around the mountain Couples have fundamental differences about life, love and relationships. You and your partner might be going around and around the same mountain, stuck on an issue that you can’t resolve. Each time you revisit the issue, it seems to get more heated and more hopeless in terms of resolution.

You start to seek support from others When you don’t feel that your partner is supportive of you anymore, it can be easy to find yourself seeking outside sources of support, or becoming emotionally attached to others. That’s a sign it’s time to get help.

You are always fighting If you can’t see eye to eye on anything, and the smallest things become big issues, it’s time to see a professional.

You never, ever fight On the other hand, not being invested in your relationship, means that you don’t care enough to fight.

This lack of conflict is an indicator that you have lost interest in the relationship. Apathy is a true enemy of passion, and your marriage will not survive without help.

You face intimacy issues If you are sleeping alone for extended periods for reasons other than health issues, this is a signal that some relationship attention is needed.

REFLECT

REMEMBER YOUR MUSIC

Bring the love of songs back into your life...and others!

Have you ever tried to remember all the words to a song from your childhood or teenage years, or something you heard your parents sing? If you can remember one or two lines of a verse or the title, you can find the whole song on the Internet.

Type one line of a song in Google, and you’ll be amazed. Not only will all the lyrics pop up, but so will links to videos of groups singing the song.

World War II was full of good music, and chances are you remember at least parts of some of the songs. Search online for World War II songs, or any other era you’re interested in. Wikipedia even has categories such as “Songs of 1950s.” Or search Wikipedia by singer and click on their discography for all the songs they released.

36

THE GRAND SEASON MARCH 2020

Remember “Any Bonds Today?”, the 1941 song written for a war bond drive and presented in a Bugs Bunny cartoon? Or for younger seniors, how about “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Bob Dylan’s 1962 song? How many verses do you remember?

When the weather warms up, you might consider hunting garage sales and antique marts for old sheet music.

So what do you do once you’ve collected all the music from your youth? Consider sharing it! If you don’t know how to play the piano, this might be the perfect time to learn.

Once you can play well enough, ask about visiting a retirement facility and playing for the residents. Make copies of the lyrics and hand them out for a sing-along.

For Alzheimer’s patients, hearing or singing music can animate silent patients, reduce stress and strengthen memory. And for everyone, it can flat out bring them joy!

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

PARKING TIPS 1. When parking in a large store lot, don’t “hover-and-settle” trying to park close.

Instead, park at the far corner of the lot. For the price of a few steps you’ll save yourself the frustration of circling and will be able to easily spot your lonely car among the empty spots.

(And a little extra exercise never hurt anybody.)

2. Traveling in a town you don’t know very well? When you park, pull out your smart phone and drop a pin in your maps App. After you’re done exploring on foot, simply get directions back to the pin to find your car.

3. When parking at the airport or in any parking garage, use you smart phone to take a photo of your spot and level (or any other location information on signs) so you can easily recover where your car is parked later!

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Once upon a time in Hollywood, there were five major studios: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Warner Brothers, Columbia, Paramount and 20th Century Fox. Between them they created the majority of the greatest films made from the 1935 through the 1960s.

Then, as television rose to great success, and popularity within the home, the studios began to experience a decline. It signalled the end of Hollywood’s “Golden Age,” when films like “The Wizard of Oz,” “Casablanca” and “Gone With the Wind” were released.

When the crash came, MGM sold its backlot to condo builders. Sony acquired Columbia, then bought what was left of the MGM lot and moved Columbia there. Warners and Paramount had no backlots but retained their studios, while 20th Century Fox sold its backlot, which became Century City.

Now Disney has acquired 20th Century Fox and renamed it 20th Century Studios. The five major studios paved the way for the new wave of movie-making today, operated by five streaming services: Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Apple. Time marches on.

If you don’t love it, don’t stream it!

GET-A-WAY

TRAVEL

Book a quick trip or book a staycation!

Need a break from the office? Here are some helpful tips for gettng away cheap, or making the most of your stay at home vacation.

Troll the travel websites Sites such as Expedia.com, Priceline. com and Travelocity.com are treasure troves for last-minute travelers. A few clicks will provide you deals on bundled packages (flight, hotel, car rental) and all-inclusive vacations.

Register for last-minute travel e-mail blasts Those same websites, and most airlines, offer weekly e-mails that include up-to-the-minute deals on flights, cruises, hotels and more. If you’re flexible about where and when you travel, you can find a deal in your inbox.

Play tourist Check out the latest gallery opening, grab tickets to a matinee, hop on a tour bus, or take a trip to your local

historical centers. See Phoenix from a new perspective.

Turn off your phone Pretend you’re half a world away with little access to your phone. Leave a voicemail that says you’re on vacation and will only check messages sporadically.

Don’t check e-mails Set an out-of-office reply or a vacation message on your work and personal e-mail accounts and don’t peek until you “return.”

Don’t tackle your to-dos Let things around the house stay as they are. Or, better yet, hire a cleaning service to come spruce the place up while you’re on vacation.

Order in Hate to cook? Then don’t do it. Enjoy the benefits of ordering in or grabbing your favorite take-out.

Have a TV /movie marathon.

Grab some DVDs or go through your DVR list. Missing a few classics on your movie bucket list? Take the opportunity to see some of the greatest movies of all time–all from the comfort of your own home.

CARING

TAKING CARE OF LOVED ONES

Navigating the challenges

As the population of older U.S. adults grows, more Americans are taking on long-term caregiving duties for loved ones. An estimated 43.5 million adults in the U.S. have provided unpaid care in the past 12 months, according to AARP. “While caregiving presents many opportunities for growing strong bonds with loved ones, the work itself can be demanding, eventually taking a toll on those shouldering the burden,” says Lakelyn Hogan. Hogan shares the following tips to navigate the challenges.

Use online resources To fully advocate for your loved one, it’s necessary to understand his or her medical conditions and the specific areas where extra help is needed. Doing so will help you secure support services, get information from doctors, ensure medications are being administered safely and even help you make appropriate meal and transportation arrangements. Most reputable sources

of condition-specific information can also double as a place for finding care and support.

Search for innovative tools Innovative companies are taking note of the needs of caregivers, and are designing everyday products to help them make daily tasks easier and more comfortable for all involved. In the realm of personal care, this trend is especially important: personal care activities were identified in an AARP survey as among the most challenging daily activities to manage.

Make space for yourself Prioritizing your own health and happiness is critical. After all, if your health suffers, it could make it impossible for you to continue caregiving. Rely on family and friends or a part-time professional to step in and give you a chance to recharge. Use the personal time to read, journal, exercise, take a nature walk, visit your doctor or simply meet with friends. You may also benefit from joining a caregivers’ support group. Luckily, social media has made it simple for people to find one another and connect. While the roles and responsibilities of caregiving vary, leveraging the resources designed to universally assist caregivers can help you navigate the many challenges of daily life.

VETERANS POST

COUCH THEATER

It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle of medical care. When something is wrong, you need to know what it is, and quickly.

That didn’t happen with a veteran in New York not long ago.

For that veteran, there was a delay in finding out about his abnormal test results. Policy says that if the results require intervention or action, the patient needs to hear from the ordering provider within seven days, but in his case, there was a 36-day delay. The person who ran the tests quickly passed along the results to a surrogate provider... who sat on them for 28 days. After handing them off to the next in line in the hierarchy (the chief of staff), the veteran was finally notified eight additional days later!

NOW OUT ON BLU-RAY AND DVD Check out what’s worth watching!

The Nightingale (R) A young Irish woman (Aisling Franciosi) is bound to the cruel Lieutenant Hawkins (Sam Claflin) in colonial Australia. At the end of her indentured service, he refuses to free her, and she is victimized by Hawkins and his cadre of friends. With no one to turn to, she enlists the help of an aboriginal man named Billy and sets out for retribution. The mood is set perfectly by director Jennifer Kent.

Playing With Fire (PG) John Cena stars as a tightly wound supervisor of a top tier team of firemen. He and his squad —comedy backup by Keegan-Michael Key and John Leguizamo—rescue a trio of plucky kids (Brianna Hildebrand, Christian Convery and Finley Rose Slater) from a raging wildfire. Big boy babysitters then get a lesson in wildly unpredictable forces of nature: kids. The laughs resonate in this light, entertaining romp for the entire family.

What this demonstrates is that you, the patient, must ask questions.

Specifically you need to know: When will the medical test results be ready? Who will have those results? Get the name and phone number.

If you’re transported by ambulance and can communicate, ask where you’re being taken. The more medical people you query along the way, the better your chances of hearing what you need to know.

Jackie M. Top notch company!! Salesman Ken

handled all details including things other company’s want us to take care of. From the beginning to the end it was a flawless experience. Great customer service. Mike and Chad were nothing but professional. We are ABSOLUTELY happy with the end result. It was exactly what we expected. We would highly recommend Patio Partners for your patio cover company.

Kathy J. We had Patio Partners install an above window lattice and a courtyard awning.

We are extremely pleased with both.

This is the SECOND time we have used them and couldn’t be happier. Chad and Mike were complete professionals.
