Meet the Host Sean Hoy brings energy and fun to the expos

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Sean Hoy likes to say he has four talents: painting, cartooning, teaching and interviewing.

“When I was younger, I always had little talk shows,” he says with a laugh. “I’d even interview myself — ‘What do you think about that, Sean?’ ‘I think that’s great, Sean!’ ‘What’s a great idea, Sean!’”

When he hosts the Lovin’ Life After 50 Expos, he incorporates the skill set.

“I love doing those,” says Hoy, who will appear at the expos on Wednesday, January 12, in Tucson; Monday, January 24, in Sun City; and Wednesday, January 26, in Mesa.

“I have such a free rein of just being me and bringing my personality. I just love it.

I’ve been doing it now for three years. It’s neat that I get to see the same people I’ve befriended. It’s such a neat thing.”

The pandemic has been troubling to most, but Hoy used his art as a way of dealing with it. He painted murals and portraits of deceased pets for fur parents and created stickers. Hoy’s work can be seen at Copper 48 in Downtown Gilbert and The Perch Brewery in Chandler.

“It really hit me, finally, that I’ve been doing the same thing since the fourth

grade, but now I’m getting paid for it,” he says.

“People say, ‘You’re living your dream.’

I say, ‘Wait a minute. I am.’ I’ve been printing these stickers. I’m totally into it. I’m calling it the Hoylarious Sticker Movement. I must have at least 20 to 25 sticker designs, all with positive messages.

Everything I do is more whimsical and positive.”

Hoy was born in Alexandria, Virginia.

His father was the White House photographer for The Washington Post from 1963 to 1972. His mother worked there as well.

“He has pictures of Kennedy, Nixon and Johnson,” Hoy says. “He has pictures of him and Johnson shaking hands and talking. He earned a doctorate and taught at Syracuse, before coming here to help start the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication with the man he called “Wally.”

“Photojournalism was his thing at ASU. I was the State Press cartoonist for three and a half years, and he mentored photographers. We were very close.”

Hoy has worked with underprivileged children and also does corporate training.

“I go to different companies and teach

the staff how to communicate better with improv techniques,” Hoy says. “I don’t like to say ‘comedy,’ because people will think it’s dirty.”

He’s not one to take any of his talents for granted.

“Every day, I am grateful for all my talents,” he says. “I want to use them to the best of my abilities. I want people to smile. I don’t need a belly laugh. When people say, ‘You’re a breath of fresh air,’ that’s the best compliment in the world.

If I made you smile or made your dog wag his tail, that’s my day. I’m done. Drop the mic.”

Pain Relief Without Opioids PISA relies on technology to improve patients’ well-being

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Dr. Eric Cornidez says this is one of the most exciting times in interventional pain management.

The opioid problem has paved the way for the use of procedures like radiofrequency ablation or kyphoplasty.

“The opiate problem opened our eyes and led us to figuring out what else we could do for our patients,” Cornidez says of the Pain Institute of Southern Arizona.

“I’m not saying the use of opioids is bad, but too much of something is never really a great thing. It’s pushed the culture to think about other procedures.”

One of the alternatives is cortisone shots, but again, they have their own set of side effects.

Radiofrequency ablation

Also called rhizotomy, radiofrequency ablation is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. The radiofrequency waves burn — or ablate — the nerve that is causing the pain so it can no longer send pain messages to the brain.

During the procedure, radiofrequency needles are placed alongside the nerve that goes to the joint. The physician makes the joint numb with local anesthetic and then heats the needles with radiofrequency waves to burn the nerves that go to the joints.

Ablation is useful for patients who have spinal, knee, shoulder or hip pain. Patients typically experience 80% to 100% pain relief that can last for six months to several years, he says.

“It breaks that communication between the painful area of the brain that says, ‘Ouch,’” Cornidez adds. “It generally decreases pain from six to 18 months because those little rascals actually grow back.

8

“The nice thing is many patients go beyond just 18 months. This is my theory. I’m not fixing the problem. I’m empowering the body to be more active. If an ablation works for a year, I tell my patients to be as active as possible to build up their core strength. By the time those little nerves grow back, they can rely on the stronger muscles.”

Spinal cord stimulator

When chronic pain fails to respond to conventional medical care, patients can try a spinal cord stimulator. It uses mild electrical impulses to block or mask the pain signals transmitted by nerves. When any part of the body is in pain, sensory nerves pick up the message and transmit it to the brain. People only feel the pain after the brain receives and interprets the message.

Spinal cord stimulators have three parts: a small generator, a wire with multiple electrodes, and a controller. The generator, which produces the electrical impulses, is implanted under the skin of the abdomen, upper buttocks or chest.

The long, flexible wire is threaded along the spine. The physician uses fluoroscopic imaging to see the wire and place its electrodes near the spinal nerves responsible for sending the pain signals

to the brain.

The physician then uses the remote controller to initially program the strength and frequency of the electrical impulses. Then the patient will use it to turn the spinal cord stimulator on and off.

“It makes a significant difference,” Cornidez says.

“With neuromodulation, the technology is so good that patients don’t have to feel the buzzing or stimulation anymore.

It’s not really a valid phrase. We don’t stimulate anything.”

Kyphoplasty

A patient undergoes radiofrequency ablation to reduce or even stop pain for a period of time.

Cornidez utilizes kyphoplasty as well. This minimally invasive procedure repairs a vertebral compression fracture and helps restore the spine’s natural shape. Some patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure.

After a patient is sedated, the physician guides a needle through the skin on the back and into the fractured vertebra.

A special X-ray device called a fluoroscope helps the physician position the needle.

A balloon device is placed through the needle and into the vertebral body. The physician carefully inflates this balloon to expand the fractured

bone. When the balloon is deflated, it leaves a cavity in the middle of the vertebral body. The balloon is then removed.

The physician then injects bone cement through the needle, which fills the cavity. The cement hardens inside the vertebral body, stabilizing the fracture.

When the procedure is complete, the needle is removed and the opening in the skin is closed.

“If grandma falls and she breaks one of the vertebrae in her spine, with the X-ray guidance and the use of big needles — it’s the size of a coffee straw — we place those through the different bones of the spine to access where the fracture is and fix the fracture,” Cornidez says.

Vertiflex

Cornidez calls the Vertiflex procedure “groundbreaking” for lumbar spinal stenosis. He says the procedure is a simple and minimally invasive treatment, but it can provide effective long-term relief by lifting pressure off the nerves to alleviate leg and back pain.

The Vertiflex procedure uses a small spacer designed to relieve pressure on the nerves. Physicians place the spacer between the spinous processes through a small tube that is approximately the size of a dime.

Once the spacer is placed, it is intended to relieve pressure off the nerves and Relief...continues on page 11 www.LovinLife.com

‘Live Life Until You Die’ Patricia Person crowned 2022 Ms. Senior Arizona

BY JORDAN HOUSTON At 27, Patricia Person vowed to never compete in a beauty pageant again.

The California native recalls the moment she was announced the winner of a local competition, only to have the title stripped from her seconds later.

“They called me as the winner, and as I was walking on the stage, happy with a big smile, they retracted it,” she recounts. Now, the 64-year-old finally got her moment of glory — and on a much larger stage.

In September, Person was crowned the 2022 Ms. Senior Arizona at the Cameo Foundation’s 32nd annual pageant at the Vista Center for the Performing Arts in Surprise. The nonprofit organization refrained from crowning 2020 and 2021 title holders due to COVID-19-related obstacles.

“This time, when they called my name, I was looking around like, ‘Let me wait. I don’t want this to be a repeat,’” Person says with a laugh. The mother of three also earned herself the Most Elegant recognition.

Open only to women 60 and above, Ms. Senior Arizona is more than just a “beauty contest.” The pageant honors the “Age of Elegance” by embodying the motivation and inspiration of senior women, grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

The nonprofit organization strives to offer older women a platform to showcase their achievements, talents and values, while reenforcing the importance of self-worth, inner beauty and charm.

“I am feeling proud, excited and happy,” says Person, an activity coordinator at MorningStar Assisted Living and Memory Care. “I wanted to win. I practiced to win, but I was still shocked.”

Contestants must live in Arizona for at least three months prior to the state contest and are judged on four categories: their philosophies of life, judges’ interviews, evening gown presentations and talent.

Person, who grew up in Los Angeles and frequently modeled in local fashion shows, says she adheres to her philosophy of life, “Live until you die,” every day.

“When I was in California, I was robbed

at gunpoint,” recalls Person, who now lives in Mesa. “After I was robbed, I was afraid everywhere I went. I was scared, skittish, and when I went to the store, everybody looked suspicious.

“I just woke up one day and said, ‘I’m just going to live my life until I die and carry on and be cautious, but I can’t walk around and be scared of every single thing.’”

It’s safe to say that Person, an original “Soul Train” dancer and Zumba instructor, has embodied that promise to live her life to the fullest.

Person went on to work for Boeing in various capacities for almost 40 years.

She simultaneously earned a bachelor’s degree in business with a concentration in marketing at the University of Phoenix.

Now, she balances her time at the Fountain Hills assisted living facility with operating her own hot dog catering business, LA Hot Dog Catering Service.

Person is proud of not only her title of Arizona’s Ms. Senior queen but as a woman of color title holder as well.

For her talent, Person paid tribute to Bessie Coleman, the first African American and first Native American woman pilot, according to the National Women’s History Museum. The 64-year-old performed a dramatization of Coleman’s story from her “successes to her demise,” she explains.

“It made me feel great,” Person says. “It makes me feel like what she did wasn’t lost and I kind of brought her back around, in a way, to make me feel better and to let people know how courageous and brave she was. It was sort of full circle, if you will.”

A caregiver by nature, Person adds that she is looking forward to working with the Cameo Foundation, a national organization of previous pageant contenders.

The local nonprofit works to provide resources to arm its members with the needed expertise and self-confidence to maximize their potential. It also funnels fundraising proceeds to support survivors of domestic violence.

“I want to use my title to go around to different facilities and let them know I am part of the Cameo club and that we

want to help those that have been hurt by domestic violence,” Person explains.

The Cameo Foundation showcases performances for nursing homes, veterans’ and children’s hospitals, schools, senior citizen centers, fairs, and other community and charitable organizations.

Person is also gearing up to compete in nationals next year.

The Ms. Senior America pageant, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to enriching not only “the lives of seniors” but also to encourage them to “tap their energy to enrich the lives of others,” is slated to take place in September in Her-

shey, Pennsylvania.

“I’m feeling very good,” Person says.

“Me winning the title here has built my confidence, but I’m going against all of the winners. I like to say I’m competing with them because all of the ladies are so nice and friendly.”

Person will continue to work with her coach, Kim Anderson, to finetune her skills before the big day.

The Cameo Foundation works with A New Leaf’s Faith House Crisis Shelter, a safe haven for women, children, and transgender and nonbinary people escaping domestic violence.

Sherry says now is the time to start talking openly about domestic violence.

“When I grew up, it was a secret,” she says. “You didn’t talk about it. It still is, to a certain degree. Ladies need to know that they do have an option. They don’t have to stay. The children are frozen in fear. And shelters are struggling for funds to keep the doors open.”

Previously, if shots weren’t working, patients went to a spine surgeon, who made a big incision to take out bones and fuse the back, causing scar tissue. These big surgeries often mean multiple days in the hospital and a six-month recovery.

The clip goes between the bones that are right outside the spine. The clip keeps that space open without fusing the back.

“Because of the pain, patients often lean forward to open up the spaces themselves,” Cornidez says.

“I’ve had patients who have walked out pain free with a super small incision and a Band-Aid.” These procedures, he says, can cut down on the use of opioids. www.LovinLife.com
