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.

“I met a man who talks of living through polio, diphtheria, Vietnam protests and yet is still enchanted with life. He seemed surprised when I said 2020 must be challenging for him. ‘No,’ he said slowly looking me straight in the eyes, I learned a long time ago to not see the world through the printed headlines, I see the world through the people that surround me.

I see the world with the realization that we love big.

There-fore, I just choose to write my own headlines.’”

Sometimes I want it to stop—the talk of COVID, protests, looting, brutality, and defunding the police.

It’s overwhelming, and I feel like the country I love has lost its grounding, and this “new normal” isn’t normal at all. But then I read excerpts like this on social media, from an unknown source, about an interaction with an 87-yearold and I’m encouraged:

Could “The Big Bang Theory” have a 13th season? If there is one, CBS will have to do it without Jim Parsons, who said that “playing Sheldon for 12 seasons was quite enough,” and that he’s not interested in revisiting the show because “it was the right time to leave.”

Talk around CBS suggests moving Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) into the central position. Kaley Cuoco (Penny) said “Everyone is rebooting, we might as well do it, I didn’t want to leave.”

Parsons, now 47, has moved on to other projects. In addition to narrating and executive producing “Young Sheldon,” he starred in the Netflix series “Hollywood” (which dropped May 1) and the Netflix filming of the 50th anniversary Broadway production of “The Boys in the Band.”

Will “Bang” fans accept a “Bang” without Sheldon?

Stay tuned.

Leonardo DiCaprio will star and produce the Netflix movie version of the 2014 Oscar-nominated documentary “Virunga.”

BEND, DON’T BREAK

You can handle whatever life throws at you.

I think it’s a good trait to be versatile, to be adaptable, and be dependable, and that’s one of the things that has enabled me to have the long career that I’ve had. It’s definitely not because I’m good looking!

Adaptability is a great asset to have because life is so unpredictable, and things can change overnight for any of us.

Chanda Kochhar

The key thing is knowing how to adapt.

Adapting to the group that you have at your disposal; adapting to the place where you’re working; adapting to the local environment.

This is crucial: adaptability.

Didier Deschamps

Adaptability and constant innovation is key to the survival of any company operating in a competitive market.

Big Show

Shiv Nadar

Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.

Fred Perry No matter what twists and turns your life offers you, your ability to be adaptable and flexible will help you to stay open to all of the hidden gifts that difficulty may offer.

Mandy Ingber

Very quickly, kids take your plan and say, ‘Ha!’ so you have to learn to be adaptable, or you will be literally miserable.

Busy Philipps

I do believe we’re all adaptable, and you’re probably more adaptable than you realize.

Julia Leigh

Individuals, too, who cultivate a variety of skills seem brighter, more energetic and more adaptable than those who know how to do one thing only.

VITAL DOCUMENTS FOR SENIORS Get your affairs in order well in advance

Every adult should complete certain legal documents to protect their legal and health interests during good health, illness, and death. These documents become even more important for seniors— especially the ones highlighted in blue below.

Durable Power of Attorney A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) gives a person the legal right to conduct matters on behalf of another person.

The person appointed as the DPOA has the power to conduct all matters for the person in most every area of life including: real estate, banking, financial investments, government benefits, estate trust and beneficiary transactions, personal and family maintenance issues.

Health Care Power of Attorney/Health Care Proxy Appointing a health care power of attorney/health care proxy is one of the most important steps that

14

THE GRAND SEASON • AUGUST 2020

individuals can take to ensure their wishes are honored if they cannot speak for themselves.

Do Not Resuscitate This document is essential to articulate the senior’s wishes when it comes the use of resuscitation to save their life. Resuscitation can include CPR, chest compressions and the use of a defibrillator.

Will and/or Trust These are legal documents for the disposition of property and possessions.

They should be drawn up with an attorney.

Advance Directives Advance directives are one of the most important documents that a senior can prepare. It is actually a collection of documents that include detailed written instructions regarding the individual’s preferences for medical care and comfort at the end of life. It will speak for the individual should he or she become incapacitated.

Advance directives helps an individual to clearly articulate the extent of life saving care he or she wants.

Call Kramer Legacy Documents at 623-974-2272 for help completing these documents.

FUN

EMBRACE THE HEAT Fun ways to entertain your family in the blazing heat.

Welcome to summer in Phoenix. It’s hot and getting hotter. If you’ve been here for more than five minutes, you know that! But summer in Phoenix has its upside.

The winter visitors are gone, and so many residents have gone on vacation that doing almost anything fun is easier. Rush hour is shorter, restaurants and clubs are less crowded.

So, in the spirit of summer fun, we have compiled a list of fun things to do in Phoenix. (Due to COVID-19, do your research before heading out to learn about hours and social distancing requirements.)

Head below ground

Just outside Benson is Kartchner Caverns State Park, where you can explore beautiful living caves.

You’ll see burly stalactites, delicate soda-straw formations and tiny corners of multicolored rock.

About 9 miles south of Benson, off State Route 90. azstateparks.com/kartchner.

Take a night hike or bike ride

Maricopa County Parks throughout the Phoenix metro area offer after-dark mountain-bike rides, scorpion hunts and other family-friendly outings. It’s something different, you’re getting exercise and it’s cooler. See a schedule at maricopacountyparks.net.

Add mint to your drink

There’s a reason mint tea is popular in desert countries like Morocco and Egypt. The herb creates a cooling sensation. It also helps eliminate toxins from the body, calms the stomach and boosts energy. Muddle mint with ice, then add water or iced tea for a refreshing summer drink.

Head to a lake

Whether it’s fishing at Lake Pleasant or boating on Canyon Lake near Apache Junction, there are plenty of recreational water activities at the state’s

COMPLETE

many lakes and reservoirs. And they’re a lot closer than driving to the beach.

Score a staycation bargain Room rates plunge when temperatures soar, so this is the time of year to treat yourself to a staycation at a swanky Phoenix or Scottsdale resort. Lounge by the pool, enjoy a city or mountain view and cool off in someone else’s A/C.

Drive through Bearizona

Witness North American wildlife in a natural environment from the safety of your vehicle on this drive-through adventure. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the bison, bighorn sheep, goats, wolves and bear cubs are moving around.

LOVE

WORDS OF WISDOM Advice that makes a difference.

If you’re like most couples, the last several months of being at home has probably placed a strain on your marriage. Experts say, the best thing you can do in times of uncertainty, is communicate clearly and take time for self-care. We’ve compiled some advice that may help your relationship emerge from this season of life stronger than ever.

1. Remember Your Commitment

Life finds a way to burden partners with a lot of different obstacles. The busy and unpredictable nature of it all can obscure a very important fact: Partners are in this together. You both signed up to ride together during whatever comes your way. And the foundation you’ve built along the way, needs to always be top of mind—and sustained.

2. Assume the Best of One Another

Whatever happens, it’s important to understand your partner probably means the best. Even if they tick you off, their intentions were likely pure. Remember “your best” doesn’t mean perfection – it means you’re giving the situation everything you can, at that moment in time.

3. Communicate Respectfully

Good communication is the backbone of any relationship. No, you don’t have to act like that special breed of weirdo couples who never ever argue or get on one another’s nerves. Rather, couples need to argue and attack the issues at

18

THE GRAND SEASON • AUGUST 2020

hand without getting defensive, digging up the past and throwing it in the other’s face, dismissing a partner’s experience, or any other caustic habits.

Communicating clearly with respect is imperative to sustain lasting love.

4. Always Be Flexible

Unexpected events, expenses, and situations come up in relationships. If we are too rigid, we resist facing the unexpected. A couple’s ability to ‘go with the flow’ – especially when it’s dramatically different from what they expected – gives them the opportunity to learn new skills and, more importantly, get to know each other in ways they might never have known before.

5. Curiosity Saves Couples

There’s no way around it: Growth as a couple or an individual requires curiosity. Being curious together can result in tremendous learning experiences that strengthen your relationship.

6. Be Willing to Grow and Learn

Spoiler alert: Everyone messes up, says dumb things, and gets stuff wrong. It’s all about how people react that defines a relationship. The willingness to admit mistakes, and apologize sincerely, is an important key in creating a deeper bond with your partner.

FOOD

TOSS OR KEEP

A guide to your food.

Is that chicken breast at the bottom of your freezer still safe to eat? How about the soy sauce that’s been in your fridge for who knows how long?

It can be difficult to know when food needs to be tossed, and when it’s perfectly safe to salvage. Safety comes first, of course, but the United States tosses nearly 40 percent of its food every year. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, that adds up to over $160 billion wasted annually.

If you’re feeling guilty thinking about all of the food your family may be unnecessarily tossing out every week, don’t worry. There are endless easy ways to change your habits to waste fewer ingredients, starting with knowing exactly how long foods stay fresh in your fridge and freezer. Remember: expiration dates should be taken with a grain of salt, as they’re not federally regulated. A “use by” or “best by” date typically says when the product will be at its best quality. When in doubt, remember that your nose knows. If you notice off odors or a change in appearance in your food, do not consume it.

These lists will help you manage your money and food better: Fridge Produce Apples: 3 weeks Blueberries: 1 week Broccoli and cauliflower: 1 week Chard, kale, and spinach: 3 days Leafy herbs: 3 days Lemons and limes: 3 weeks Lettuce: 5 days Melon: 5 days Mushrooms: 1 week Strawberries and raspberries: 3 days Winter squash: 1 week Woody herbs: 3 weeks Dairy Hard cheeses: 4 to 6 months, unopened Butter: 3 months

Caffeine doesn’t just help you stay awake. It also serves the function of a pesticide in the coffee plant.

Due to the humid and moist conditions that a sloth lives in, moss and other similar plants will sometimes grow in its hair. Sloths also have very poor eyesight.

Those two factors can sometimes culminate in a sloth grabbing its own arm, thinking it’s a branch, and falling to its death.

During the Elizabethan era, coal tar was used as mascara, eyebrow pencil and eyeliner...despite the fact it’s flammable, has a bad smell and caused blindness.

Until 1925, the NCAA required college football players to study during halftime.

High-frequency sounds enhance the sweetness in food, while low frequencies bring out the bitterness.

on a stunning adventure through the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

To go “there and back again” you’ll need 14 hours, 32 minutes.

Star Wars George Lucas’ classic space series that spans generations and is beloved by generations, the seven episodes clock in at just under 16 hours, no matter what order you watch them in. (It’s hotly debated.) Add another 4 hours, 28 minutes if you add “Rogue One” and “Solo” to the watch list.

TRIVIAL PURSUIT ANSWERS From pg. 19.

PAWS CORNER Q: My cat “Blaze” lifts the lid on the trash can to get at the food scraps. I’m worried he’ll get sick from raw or spoiled food. How can I stop this annoying behavior?

1. Rome, Italy 2. Mudville 3. Groot

A: Cats are opportunists, escape artists and seemingly expert lockpickers that will take every chance to explore something that smells interesting.

4. 40 5. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln 6. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 7. Fear of public speaking 8. Cu 9. Deer meat 10. 27

A trash can filled with food scraps is often irresistible. Try some practical but effective deterrents.

When you’re in the kitchen and Blaze creeps toward the trash can, hiss loudly, shout “Leave it!” or keep a shaker can filled with pennies within reach and shake it at him when he approaches the can. When you’re not in the kitchen, bungee or tape down the lid so he can’t pry it upward with his paws. Find a trash can with a locking lid. This will be a huge help at night to try and stop Blaze from his nighttime raids.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

Who knows you best? Your spouse?

Son or daughter? Best friend? If your primary care doctor doesn’t make the list, you could be missing out on one of the most important relationships when it comes to your health and well-being.

Here are 5 tips on how to choose the right primary care doctor for you.

1. Ask around.

The first step to finding a great doctor: Talk to your family and friends about their great doctors. A recommendation from someone you trust is a great way to identify a highly skilled, helpful physician.

2. Map it out.

Since you’ll be visiting your primary care doctor for everyday health needs, it’s important that he or she be located somewhere convenient to you. You won’t want to travel very far when you’re not feeling good.

3. Make sure you’ve got coverage.

Once you’ve identified some possible candidates, check whether they work with your health plan.

4. Place a cold call.

Call a potential doctor’s office for a first impression of the practice.

5. Keep your needs in mind.

Every person has unique health needs, and those needs change as people age. Ask your doctor about his or her specialties or areas of interest.

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.”
