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.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Connect with those you love as you give thanks this season

The holidays are a reminder to take inventory of all the blessings we have in our lives. Making gratitude a habit can have positive benefits to your own happiness, as well as those around you, by creating stronger bonds in your relationships. During this season of celebration, try some of these ideas with your family: Amazing grace The dinner table is a great place to reflect and reinforce our feelings of gratitude. Before you eat, start at one end of the table and encourage every person to share something they are thankful for in their lives.

Focus on what you have Write down three positive things you are grateful for every night before you go to bed. Research shows that gratitude journaling can put you in a dramatically better mood and even prolong that feeling for weeks and months the more you practice. To beat the negativity bias, gratitude opens up your brain to attract positivity like bees to honey.

The write stuff Think of someone in your life who has made a significant positive impact and write a letter expressing how much that person means to you. If possible, meet this person face-to-face and read the letter aloud. Notice the person’s reaction and savor those moments to recall in the future.

Teachable moments Try a new experience with the family and look for teachable moments, such as volunteering at a food bank or handing out gifts at a children’s hospital.

Sometimes, the best way to appreciate all of the good in our own world is to take a moment to bear witness to the situations of those who are suffering. Gratitude in the face of adversity can help us weather the storms, provide a greater perspective to the plight of others and strengthen social bonds.

PAWS CORNER

Q: More and more of my friends who have pets say they are giving them CBD oil, saying it has health benefits.

Isn’t this derived from marijuana? What benefit does this oil have on pets? Does it make them high?

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS! A LOCALLY OWNED FAMILY BUSINESS

A: It’s true that CBD (cannabidiol) is derived from hemp and marijuana plants. It does not, however, make them high. That’s the role of the other notable component in marijuana—THC—which is a psychoactive. CBD oil does not contain THC, so people and animals taking it don’t get high.

It’s important to know that CBD has not been approved as a treatment for any condition by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (except for one drug that is used to treat epilepsy in humans). But pet owners who regularly give CBD oil to their pets—usually added to their food—say it calms them down, eases aggression and helps arthritic pets move more easily. That said, more research is still needed.

TURKEY TIPS Some parts might cook faster than others.

Those pop-up timers aren’t always reliable because they measure the temperature in only one spot. No bird should be served until all parts have been cooked to a safe 165° F. Use an instant-read thermometer in the inner thigh, wing, and thickest part of the breast.

The secret to tasty turkey is to cut it up. It’s called spatchcocking: Cut out the backbone, split the bird in half, and lay it flat on a rack. When cooked at 450° F in the oven, a 12-pounder will be ready in about an hour. Since everything cooks evenly in one layer, it’s cooked to juicy perfection.

White and dark meat are different muscles.

The darker the meat, the more myoglobin, a protein that ships oxygen to the muscles.

There were no armadillos in Texas until the 1840s.

Many people think that adding cream to coffee makes it colder, but that’s only partially correct. As it turns out, after cooling the coffee a little bit, the cream forms a layer of fat molecules across the surface, insulating the coffee and keeping it warmer longer.

Those who study such things say that only about half the French-speaking people in the world actually live in France.

EIGHT EASY PRACTICES

GRATITUDE

Simple tips for cultivating a more grateful heart!

Gratitude may just be the strongest tool in the kit when it comes to pulling ourselves out of a funk. Here are some simple exercises that can enhance your sense of gratitude all year round.

Write a letter to your younger self This simple act can transform your past (by showing yourself compassion) and can transform your present.

Read your letter and you will likely find advice you can still use today.

Make a highlights list What are your standout experiences for each month of this year? Capture those in a simple list. You will experience more gratitude as you recall special experiences, trips and treasured memories.

Fall asleep to gratitude In a journal, write down what you feel thankful for each day. Capture specifics and small details. Make this the last activity you do before you fall asleep.

Savor Slow down! Stop. Breathe. Take notice and delight in the present moment. Let yourself get excited about little things.

Cultivate tiny moments of joy.

Plan experiences What can you plan this season that will make your holidays more memorable? Be purposeful about planning and creating special experiences, and you will reap the rewards.

Play music When you play music that resonates with you, it heightens your senses and gives you a greater feeling of awe and reverence for life. Make a ready playlist.

Make a resilience list Write down five tough times and how you made it through. We all need reminders that we are stronger than we think.

Take the focus off you Do something nice for someone else that is totally unexpected. Leave a happy note for your waitress, pay for that eggnog latte for the car behind you or call someone you haven’t talked with in a while.

Whatever your meeting or party needs, let Corte Bella Country Club be your Solution!

GARAGE SALE SMARTS

SELLING

Tips for making money while getting rid of unwanted items

Whenever garage sale season falls in your area, you want to be on top of that yard sale checklist so you can accomplish the two goals of any good garage sale: to get rid of unneeded possessions and to earn a little money.

The key to doing both is following good garage sale pricing. There’s a fine line, though, between pricing items too high (in which case people won’t want to buy them) and pricing them too low (in which case you won’t earn any money).

If your goal is to just empty out your home—say, for an upcoming move or to make space for new furniture—you’ll want to price everything to sell (a.k.a. at dirt-cheap prices), but if you want to make money, you need to make sure you’re walking that fine line.

Beyond good garage sale advertising to make sure people actually show up, garage sale pricing is the biggest factor that can make or break your garage, yard, tag, rummage or stoop sale.

If your main goal is to get rid of as much stuff as possible with some small compensation for your time and effort, follow these pricing guidelines: • Hardcover books: $1 (paperbacks, two for $1) • CDs: Two for $1 • DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs: $1 for older films or shows, $2 for newer ones • Tech (smart home devices, TVs, speakers, video game systems, computer screens, etc.): $50-$100, depending on the original price of the items • Mainstream brand-name clothing: $5-$15 • T-shirts: two for $1 • Shoes: $5-$10 • Costume jewelry: $1 (or $5 for a few items) • Coffee tables: $50-$100 • Dining chairs: $25-$150 each • Dishes and glasses: $5-$30 for an eight-piece set • China: $1-$10 a plate • Kitchen gadgets: $1-$5 • Lamps: $5-$30 • Mirrors and artwork: $1-$10 (sm); $30-$100 (lg) • Sofas: $150-$300 • Board games: $1-$5 • IKEA furniture: 30-50 percent of the original price

SQUISH & CRUNCH ARE NOT CARPET SOUNDS BUT SOFT IS!!!

Hello my name is Paige O’Dowd and all my friends thought that I was crazy getting into such a male-dominated field but my answer to them was who knows clean better than a woman. If you don’t believe that, try to remember what your spouse’s home looked like before you married them.

I’m a mother of six and a proud owner of nine rescue dogs, so I know clean. I promise I will deliver a clean like you’ve never seen with the safest and most effective method ever developed.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 Love your pod coffee maker but hate the waste? Almost every brand has some sort of reusable filter that you can purchase.

They are cost-efficient and much better for the environment. As a bonus, just add those used coffee grounds to your compost pile or sprinkle them in your garden.

TIP 2 One quick way to reduce a single-use plastic at the coffee shop: Skip the coffee stirrer. It’s easy if you put your cream and sweetener in the cup first, then fill.

The coffee gets mixed up as you fill your cup!

TIP 3 Old newspapers can be used to clean glass and chrome. They leave behind less lint than paper towels and can be used with both a misting of water or glass cleaner.

TIP 4 If you like to saute with butter, be sure to add a bit of oil to the pan as well. Butter burns more quickly at higher temperatures, but the oil will stabilize it and give you more time to cook.

KEEP CALM

YOU

Get in the spirit without losing your mind!

The holidays can be filled with stress and joy, bundled into one emotionally charged season. Rodrigo Araujo, Ph.D., senior data scientist at Plasticity Labs, analyzed workplace stress and seasonality. He identified fall (October to December, including the winter holidays) as the unhappiest time of the year for people.

One of the biggest impacts on our stress (and happiness) is an increasingly busy and ever-fluctuating schedule. This causes an out-of-control feeling that can make our brains uncomfortable.

The best way to combat this seasonal stress is to practice an attitude of gratitude. Here are some ways to keep your schedule from stressing you out.

Make it a team effort Are you stressing to get everything accomplished for the holidays? Check off your to-do list with friends.

Looking for a Different kind of Healthcare?

Give experiences, not stuff Instead of shopping for stuff, give your loved ones the gift of your time by creating experiences you can enjoy together.

Be authentic Host holiday events that resonate. Don’t kill yourself to create events that will impress others. Create opportunities to connect with others.

Say no It’s tough to turn down invites from friends and colleagues, however, stress stems from being overextended. Saying “no” will help you prioritize your time.

Save a vacation day Take a day off just for you before the chaos of holidays begin. You might be surprised how this one day can enhance your mental health as you celebrate with your friends and family.

Volunteer Schedule a time for your family and friends to help those who are less fortunate. You might volunteer at a soup kitchen, or perhaps give a family in need a holiday they’ll never forget.

FLU INTERVENTION

HEALTH

Beating the bug before it hits

With flu season just around the corner, there’s a new wrinkle to staying healthy this winter. Our old standby, the antiseptic hand sanitizer, has been found to not work as well as we believed, especially with the influenza A strain. It’s all in how we use it, according to a recent study.

First, choose a hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol. Be sure to cover your whole hands, including nails. If you come in contact with wet mucus (from a sneeze or cough), it takes the sanitizer a full four minutes to kill the flu virus. (How many of us use sanitizer for four minutes? Not many.)

Dry mucus (for example, on a shopping cart handle) takes less time. Hand washing, however, takes only 30 seconds to kill the flu virus and is thought to be more effective than using sanitizer.

Here are some ideas for flu season: • Does your grocery store deliver to your home or the parking lot? This will reduce your exposure.

• Take some antiseptic wipes in a plastic baggie when you go out. Use them on the cart handles in stores. Carry a small refillable bottle of hand sanitizer.

• Wash your hands thoroughly when you get home.

• Once a week (or more often) wrap hand wipes around door knobs at home and let them dry overnight.

The biggest step you can take is to get a flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests the high-dose flu vaccine for seniors because it creates a stronger immune response, 24 percent higher than the standard vaccine. There’s also an adjuvanted and a recombinant vaccine (not made with eggs).

Ask your doctor which you should get. Remember that it takes a few weeks for the vaccine to take effect.

THE GRAND SEASON • NOVEMBER 2019

WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

While there’s no real need to buy new, expensive decorations every year, if you are so inclined, don’t forget to include that in your holiday budget.

CREATIVE IDEAS

CELEBRATE

Make the most of the holiday while staying within your means

Think about shipping Online deals aren’t always so great after factoring in shipping. Keep an eye out for free shipping days offered by many retailers and consider shipping expenses into your overall spending plan.

For many families, the holiday season is the most expensive time of year. “It is important to ensure you are spending wisely and not turning the new year into a time of new debt,” says Michael McAuliffe, president of Family Credit Management, a non-profit creditcounseling agency. Here are some tips from the experts at Family Credit Management.

Set a budget It’s important to have a holiday-specific budget. Figure out how much you are able to spend on each person’s gift and stick to it. This will help you consider those big-ticket items more seriously and make it more possible to stay on track.

Decorate wisely With a tight budget, consider using last year’s decorations or making homemade decorations, as a fun, money-saving project to do with the whole family.

Don’t shop because you’re “supposed” to Just because it’s Black Friday or Cyber Monday doesn’t mean you have to shop. While there are some killer deals offered during these events, many of them are just overhyped marketing.

Use apps to price check Price-check items while shopping so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal. Some retail stores will even adjust the price in-store if you find a better deal.

Leave the credit cards at home Put your holiday budget on a pre-paid debit card or gift card that you can use anywhere. Going shopping with only that card will help ensure you don’t spend more than your budgeted amount.

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.

WORDS OF WISDOM Good thoughts on gratitude

SPEAK LIFE

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

—Unknown Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

—Brian Tracy Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions.

The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

—Zig Ziglar

When it’s time to move -

We make it simple!

We Buy Houses!

• Any Condition Cash Offers • Quick Closing • Do you have a challenge that might be solved by turning a house into immediate cash?

I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness—it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

—Brene Brown Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

—William Arthur Ward Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.

—Jim Rohn At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

—Albert Schweitzer Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

—Melody Beattie As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

—John F. Kennedy

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.”

If you’re a veteran and are a victim of domestic violence, the Department of Veterans Affairs can help you with housing and support services if you need to flee. If you have children, this includes them. If you are a senior veteran, elder abuse is included in the definition of domestic violence.

The housing and services are provided by two programs, Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) and Grant and Per Diem. In 2017, public law 114315 expanded eligibility for both programs to include situations such as fleeing dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and any situation that makes it unsafe for you to stay.

If you have to get out immediately, you’re eligible for SSVF rapid housing intervention.

Go online to www. va.gov/homeless/gpd. asp and www.va.gov/ homeless/ssvf/ to gather information and make contacts. The second link, to SSVF, has information for the states that provide the rent subsidies. In a violent situation, make 911 your first call. When you can, collect your saved information and go.

FAMILY TIME

Bring the family together for time at the table

If you are like most families, the stress of having kids and maintaining hectic schedules can heat up the happiest of households in no time—especially when it comes to trying to decide what to have for dinner.

Schedule a mock cooking class If you want to get family members involved, make time on a weekend for a prepping and cooking session, where everyone can share knife skills, recipes and other culinary lessons.

Do a taste test Let’s face it, every family has that one member who is just plain finicky. To combat that, have them weigh in for taste tests. This way, you can plan to cook that dish in bulk.

Strive for leftovers Whoever is cooking can make extra of anything that’s a hit with family members and store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. Two roasted chickens (instead of one) are great for hot or cold sandwiches, soup, salad and great filler for tasty fajitas

With a little planning and some cooperation, however, even the busiest family can find time to sit down and enjoy a meal together.

The following tips will give you an idea of how you can streamline the dinner process and maximize family time.

or burritos.

Get the whole household involved Why limit family members to such chores as washing and drying dishes or setting the table? You can also put them to work on choosing menus, tasting diffrent recipes or even getting involved with the actual cooking of the food!

Research new recipes With a little online investigating, you can find great recipes that can be prepared together and will make even the pickiest of eaters happy while building relationships over mealtime! There are countless options available on the web!

WORTH WATCHING? ROMANTIC Now on DVD/Blu-Ray! MOVIES

COUCH THEATER

The Art of Self-Defense (R) Another quirky comedy notch in Jesse Eisenberg’s belt, this film centers around an aggressively macho karate dojo to which extreme beta male Casey (Eisenberg) turns after being bullied and brutally beaten in the streets. At the dojo, Casey’s confidence increases, and he steps up to attend the rawer, more violent night classes where he is enveloped in a downward spiral of belligerence and mayhem.

Stuber (R) How far would you go for a five-star rating? Stu (Kumail Nanjani)—an Uber driver, hence the “Stuber”— will go pretty dang far. He’s a timid, keep-the-boat steady type who’s desperate to keep his rating in the clear. Stu picks up a fare in the form of physically intimidating but unfortunately visually impaired cop Vic (Dave Bautista). He’s furiously running down a killer, but can’t do the driving himself. So naturally, he blackmails Stu into being his wingman using that coveted driver rating—and the results are hilarious.

Where Stu is apprehensive and uptight, Vic is brash and insensitive—and the foil works. Director Michael Dowse’s idea of humor is a two-by-four to the face, so expect limits to be pushed.

MAKE AN IMPRESSION

LIFEHACKS

Simple advice for issues in life

Stumped on a project or presentation? Try ditching the computer and writing by hand.

The experience has been proven to help creativity.

Refuse to allow yourself to be controlled by three things: people, money or past experiences.

Storing batteries in the freezer can double their lifespan.

Take advantage of power outages. It’s the best possible time to get a good look at the night sky.

Try to spend more money on experiences and less on things. You’ll thank yourself later on in life.

If you buy unnecessary things that are on sale, you’re not saving money; you’re still spending it.

You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling three things you’re grateful for every day for 21 days.

The scent of a banana contains a compound that may actually help you lose weight.

HOLIDAZE

Why is Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November? President Abe Lincoln said Thanksgiving would be the fourth Thursday in November, but in 1939 President Roosevelt moved it up a week hoping it would help the shopping season during the Depression era. It never caught on and it was changed back two years later.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began in 1924 with 400 employees marching from Convent Ave to 145th street in New York City.

No large balloons were at this parade, as it featured only live animals from Central Park Zoo. Why do we get food comas after eating Turkey? Scientists say that extra glass of wine, the high-calorie meal or relaxing after a busy work schedule is what makes you drowsy—not Turkey!

Thanksgiving is the reason for TV dinners!

In 1953, Swanson had so much extra turkey (260 tons) that a salesman told them they should package it onto aluminum trays with other sides like sweet potatoes—and the first TV dinner was born!

TALK

At your holiday dinner table, you know it’s important to stay away from controversial topics like politics, but what do you do if you don’t want to revert to retelling old family stories over and over again? Here are some playful and funny conversation starters for Thanksgiving.

• Who is the funniest person at the table and why?

• If you won $5 million, what’s the first thing you’d buy?

• What is the hardest thing about being a parent?

• What are you most thankful for this year?

• Which person here do you wish you knew better?

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 17

1. “Yoda.” He based it on “The Empire Strikes Back” film. It took five years to get Star Wars creator George Lucas to give permission for its release.

2. “Wooly Bully,” started out as a re-do of “Hully Gully Now.” Sam riffed his way through multiple versions, including the English-Spanish intro.

3. “Red Velvet Car.” The album contained 10 tracks in the U.S., 12 tracks in Europe, and 13 in Japan.

4. Randy VanWarmer, in 1979. One of the most underrated songwriters of all time. He later moved to Nashville and penned a string of country hits.

5. “Blackbird,” by the Beatles in 1968.
