LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

From the Roots

Capturing the Stories that Matter

appy New Year! I hesitate to start this month’s column by writing what everyone else is thinking, but it’s true: “I can’t believe it’s 2018! Where does the time go?” If only there was a way we could make time stand still. We can’t stop a ticking clock, but we can treasure life’s precious moments by honoring our collective past, individual memories and each other’s legacies. LEGACY…It’s a powerful word, and it can refer to anything handed down from the past. Legacies are the stories of our lives that encapsulate the moments that define us. They’re vitally important to celebrating fleeting experiences. And, they’re the result of taking care to translate these experiences into enduring stories of honor, courage, passion and compassion. Stories matter! Aging Tree Illustrated is now Legacy. Our new magazine format contains all the content you’ve come to love, such as, in this issue, folic acid awareness, Medicare deductibles information, travel tips, amazing recipes, computer know-how, and much more. But now, each issue will be kicked off with a feature that illustrates the legacy of a local senior whose story would be gone forever if we hadn’t captured it. We are proud and excited to have this important purpose. In Legacy magazine, we’ll tell timeless stories and share the lessons and experiences within them. In this issue, our feature story, “Wings of Love,” recounts the 56 missions that one local gentleman had to undertake to finally get home. This Air Force pilot flew President Johnson, and had many harrowingly close calls with death. His legacy is partly about these incredible experiences in flight, but also his dear family, including his 3 great-grandchildren. His wife of 65 years passed away after our interviewing process, and with her, his legacy has been further defined. It should come as no surprise that many legacies are enveloped in love and dedication. His is no different. So, join us on this important journey of preserving stories in 2018. As you read about others’ legacies, you’ll be compelled to further define your own. Make your days great…you’re in charge of them.

Travel Smart: Dragons and Architecture

ave you ever been completely surprised by a destination? I am a lover of travel, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the picture of a destination in my mind matches up with reality. Spain is the perfect example of this.

My first time visiting Spain was the most pleasant surprise I could have ever dreamed of. I planned a Mediterranean cruise departing from Barcelona, and my focus was to visit France and Italy. Unbeknownst to myself and my husband, Spain was the absolute best country along our journey. Of course, the trip was spectacular, but our memories of Spain made us plan on going back again and again. I think what struck me first and has stayed with me since that first

construction for over 130 years, and is estimated to be completed between 2020 and 2040. Though this famous cathedral is still unfinished, over 2.8 million visitors per year go to see this spectacular sight, making it the most visited site in all of Spain. Gaudi is absolutely one of the most interesting architects I have ever had the pleasure of seeing the works of. I would have to say he is my favorite by far. So creative and unique. To me, La Sagrada Familia actually looks as

the most intricate and detailed work one could ever imagine. The windows of the cathedral allow light to bounce off of the tan stone in the most perfect way. The ceiling of the cathedral actually mimics bones (but if you want to see bones check out his dragon house). And carvings are literally covering the entire cathedral from top to bottom. Even the doors are carved in the most whimsical way, looking like ivy leaves. |6|

Gaudi did so much more than build a church...Though it’s the most visited sight in all of Spain, the other sights he had his hands and mind in were the Park Güell, a beautiful and vibrant park with ornately mosaicked lizards, butterflies, and walls. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a pure reflection of Gaudi’s artistic gift. There’s also Casa Ballto, an entire mansion that is designed around the skeleton of a dragon. The roof has the shape of a dragon’s spine, the fantastical colors are shown through mosaicked stone and glass, and the inside twists and turns are like the mythical creature itself. This would be a perfect residence for the Mother of Dragons herself, Khaleesi, from Game of Thrones. There must have been some sort of magical inspiration from Gaudi

that inspired the GOT writers, as many more regions in Spain are filming locations for the show, too. If architecture and history are at all your thing, I highly recommend visiting Spain. I cannot wait to go back to Spain in Septem-

ber and see all of these fabulous sights again. Call Aging Tree at 1-866-320-8803 to learn more about any of these destinations call the Aging Tree or Roseborough Travel.

The Story of a Pilot Who Flew President Johnson in Air Force One

By Kim Denoﬀ

n May 28, 1999, Lt. Col. W.J. Williams USAF and the 1254th Transport Group wrote a memoir to his family. In part, it read…

Dear Family: I know all of you have asked exactly what I did in Korea while I was in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. I guess you are all old enough to learn how “I won the War in Korea.” Why talk about an insignificant, senseless war so long ago? I now realize that I never fully explained my small role in the Korean War conflict to any of you. Not even your mother. The reason was because of the violence and loss of life and I was reluctant to talk about this unpleasant subject and turbulent time in my life. You should know that I kept a large framed picture of your mother in my closet of my living quarters. Married

U.S. forces during the war in Korea. I felt it was part of my duty and part of the job when I signed on with the U.S. military to be a U.S. Air Force pilot. We flew mostly at night with little visual reference and were often times not sure exactly where we were. Our mission was to force the North Korean/Chinese to keep their heads down, and slow the flow of equipment and troops to the front by inflicting as much damage to their supply system as possible. We had no opposition in the air, but everybody and his brother seemed to be shooting at us from the ground. Flying night combat missions in an antiquated B-26 during the chaos of and confusion

ber. However, I believe we should be made aware of the more stressful and diﬃcult times that we all manage to live through, once in a while, to better appreciate the many more important and pleasant events in our lives. I remembered telling my crew, after one of our first missions in Korea, that “I didn’t see anything in North Korea worth our lives and all three of us have a lot of living to do after we complete our tour”. No greater words have been spoken in my opinion. I know that I have done a lot of living since that time, long ago, and I hope my two companions and friends have also.

as a war that should be forgotten. I’ll never forget it, because I was there. I will always remember the great sorrow that 54,246 Americans died and 103,246 were wounded. 5,178 are still missing. Let’s hope that future generations learn about war from books. Since that time, the few remaining photos of my time in Korea are slowly fading away, along with the memories of my time served. A cheerful, spry man, now 91, Mr. Williams’ eyes smiled as he, surrounded by his family, proudly shared the events of his life as a young Air Force Pilot. After marrying his sweetheart, Helen in 1952, at the ripe age of 22, William obtained the rank of 2nd lieutenant in the Air Force. “When I flew Air Evac as a 22 year old First Pilot flying a DC3 and had 7 or 8 wounded patients in the back, that’s when I learned how to fly. I realized the terrific responsibility to get them to a burn unit, or wherever they needed to go so they could get home.” Shortly thereafter, while only 25 and Helen only 22, he was sent to Korea on a combat tour. He was unceremoniously assigned as a

B26 pilot in the Korean War. “As B26 crews, the group of us were a motley, disorganized, minimally qualified, cocky group eager to do our part in bringing this senseless and unpopular war to an end”, he proclaimed. “We each had to complete 50 missions to fulfill our deployment and return home.” A risky and life threatening task,

so we were sure to see our targets and limit movement of the N. Koreans. I never saw a train, never once. The whole country was devastated. There were just a bunch of bomb craters. This one particular night, my flight navigator was searching for our target. We spotted the bridge in a canyon we were supposed to hit. The navigator was in the right seat,

Folate Rich Foods

Folic Acid to the Rescue

ational Folic Awareness Week is January 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 14th. This nutrient is vital to the development of

healthy cells in the body. It is an important regulator of metabolism. It helps with the synthesis of proteins. Folate and folic acid are often used interchangeably though they are not the same. Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is laboratory created while folate is present in whole foods. Food sources of folate include dark green leafy vegetables, kale, spinach, broccoli, arugula, endive, green beans, asparagus, swiss chard, lentils, turnip greens and mustard greens. Strawberries, orange juice, oranges and other citrus fruits are also good but to a lesser extent. Avocados, soy beans, pinto beans, lima beans, chick peas, white beans, wild rice and peas contain folate. Cereal and grain products, such as

bread and pasta are also sources. Deficiencies may appear in seniors, alcoholics and persons taking select drugs, for example, trimethoprim, methotrexate and

phenytoin. Here are a few questions I often hear concerning folic acid: Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this have something to do with birth defects? Much of the conclusive research on folic acid applies to the time surrounding conception. The recognition that higher folate intake at this time greatly reduces the incidence of serious birth defects of the brain and spine, called neural tube defects, resulted in the mandatory fortification of flour and grain products in the United States in 1996. It was estimated that 70% of these defects would be prevented and in the 2 years following the start of fortification the rate of these defects decreased by 25%.

JANUARY 2018 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com â&#x20AC;˘ 866-320-8803

What is the connection between folic acid and the aging brain?

In 2002 neurologist Edward Reynolds published in The BMJ a review on folate deficiency, depression and dementia in the aging nervous system. Although this review identified the importance of folate in the nervous system of all ages he noted the need for more research identified to find a clear connection between folate levels and mood, drive, initiative, alertness, concentration, psychomotor speed and social activity. In December of 2005 Dutch researchers reported that older adults may get mental benefits, including better memory, by taking folic acid supplements. Researchers compared test scores after three years of supplementation to results after a placebo supplement in 818 older adults without low folate levels. Test scores showed memory improvements in the folic acid group. This group also had a slower decline in scores of other mental skills and muscle speed skills. In November of 2012 researchers in the Netherlands looked at the effects of taking supplements of two B vitamins for two years in nearly 3,000 healthy people who did not have a vitamin deficiency. All the participants had high cont. pg 14 | 12 |

blood levels of a protein building block called homocysteine, which has been linked to an increased risk of memory loss and Alzhei-

mer's disease. The results, published in the Journal of Neurology, showed that the people who took the B vitamins had decreased levels of homocysteine over the study period. However, the test scores didn't differ between the two groups, suggesting the supplements didn't affect people's thinking performance, according to the study.

Can I get enough folate from my food? Yes, however this water-soluble vitamin needs to be replenished regularly. If you are

JANUARY 2018 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com â&#x20AC;˘ 866-320-8803

concerned about getting enough folate you can increase the amount of the foods listed earlier. Low folate levels may occur when the diet is especially poor and is related to cognitive decline. Are there any risks from supplementation with folic acid? The recommended daily amount is 400 micrograms and is possible to obtain through dietary sources. The Upper Tolerable Intake level is 1,000 micrograms. Side effects when excessive amounts of folic acid are consumed include dizziness, sleeping problems, flatulence (gas), bitter taste, decreased appetite, abdominal problems, skin reactions and nausea. Excess folic acid can be excreted with proper kidney function. Too much folic acid can mask a B12 deficiency. While a diet high in food sources of folate is associated with a decreased risk of cancer, similar ef| 14 |

fects have not been reported with vitamin B9 supplementation with some additional concerns. To determine what supplementation might be appropriate consult your health care professional. Finding the optimal nutritional environment for a healthy brain is related to number of complex factors. The degree to which folate or folic acid contributes to this goal remains a keen area of research due to the connections found at times among mood, depression, cognitive functioning and dementia. We know that levels of folate in the blood and spinal fluid decrease with age and the level of homocysteine rises with age which is a concern given the connection between homocysteine and risk of heart disease. Given the mixed results surrounding the effects of folic acid supplementation on the aging brain what can we do that will make the difference? • Get adequate sleep. • More fruits, vegetables and healthy omega 3s • Don’t smoke, limit alcohol • Move your body/Exercise. Aim for 15-30 minutes daily. • Keep stress levels low. • Play board games, puzzles and word games. • Be social and stay connected. • Challenge yourself.

New Year’s Good Luck Traditions Around the World

Within every country there are different traditions and rituals passed down from generation to generation, which are believed to bring good fortune and happiness in the year to come. I have compiled a short list of interesting cultural traditions from all over you probably didn’t know about. • United States: A kiss at the stroke of midnight signifies the purification into the New Year, and making deafening noise is said to drive away evil spirits. • England: The first guest to arrive at their home is believed to hold their good fortune. They believe it should be a man bearing gifts, such as coal for the fire or a loaf of bread for the table. The guest will enter through the front door and exit out the back. Any guest who shows up empty handed or unwanted will not be allowed to enter the home first. • Spain and Peru: These countries have similar traditions, in that they eat 12 grapes to bring good luck in the 12 months ahead. However, in Peru they eat a 13th grape to insure their good luck. • Japan: In Japan they decorate their homes with pine branches symbolizing longevity, a bamboo stalk symbolizing prosperity, and a plum blossom showing nobility. • Greece and Norway: Also having similar traditions, in Greece they bake a bread with a coin inside, and if the third slice has the coin, it is said that spring will be early that year. Similarly, Norwegians make rice pudding with one whole almond, and whoever’s serving holds the almond is guaranteed wealth that year. • Sicily: Lasagna is served on New Year’s Day, because any other noodle served is said to bring bad luck. • China: The Chinese New Year is not on January 1, but they still celebrate old traditions to ring in their new start. Every front door is painted with a fresh coat of red paint, symbolizing good luck and happiness. Also, families prepare feasts without using knives. All knives are put away for 24 hours to keep anyone form cutting themselves, because it is thought to cut the families’ good luck for the year. As the holiday season quickly approaches, we are sure to make plans for our New Year’s resolutions. Some people may choose to quit smoking and/or drinking, get out of debt, learn new skills, or lose weight and live a more active lifestyle.

Having a Durable Power of Attorney allows you to assign an “agent” to make decisions on your behalf, keeping your family from having to work with the legal system to appoint an overseer – a process that can be stressful, time consuming and expensive.

2. Health Care Power of Attorney - A Health Care Power of Attorney appoints one or more people to handle your health care decisions, and like a Durable Power of Attorney, only if you become unable to do so yourself. While you’re still healthy, it’s wise to communicate your health care and end-of-life wishes to your designated representative so they’re followed accordingly. 3. HIPAA Release - In addition to a health care proxy, be sure to complete a HIPAA release. HIPAA is a law that bars medical practitioners from releasing medical information to anyone, even a spouse or child, without your signed release/permission. 4. Will - Your Will says who will take ownership of your property and who will oversee your affairs upon your death. Expect that even when a Will is created, a probate process likely will follow

2016 Elder Law Attorney of the Year

your death though the instructions you outline in your Will can help facilitate it. 5. Revocable Trust - The easiest way to avoid probate may be by using a Revocable Trust. With a Revocable Trust, you can still use and control your property. Upon your death, however, there is no probate process if a Revocable Trust is in place. A Revocable Trust also can allow for distribution over time to children and grandchildren. Scott A. Selis is the 2016 Elder Law Attorney of the Year with oﬃces in DeLand, Ormond, and Palm Coast. He serves on the Legislative and Medicaid Committees of the Florida Bar’s Elder Law Section.

Health Wise Where Do You Live?

Creating legacy is about what you are doing in the present. Our past is full of By Kim Denoﬀ everything that makes us who we are. It is our memory of happiness and sadness. It is the place where we store experiences, life lessons and emotional scars. It is where good and bad memories live. It is a place that if we are not careful, we allow ourselves to become trapped, controlled and cheated out of the beautiful, unfolding story called life. Our future is an important place full of enormous potential and hope. It is a place that for the most part, we maintain control. It is where we hope to be. It's the people we hope to have in our lives, the memories we hope to create. The goals we have set for ourselves. It influences how others will remember us. The impression we will make. The lives we hope to touch. The love we hope to share. Our future is a place we know we will go. We are optimistic and trusting that happiness, love, and positivity awaits us there. Our future is as close as tomorrow. However, our future is not yet here. The past has passed. Often, as flawed humans do, we forget about an amazing, beautiful place called the present. It's that place where our mind, soul and body have no choice but to be. Although it is where we are supposed to "live", we often minimize it wrestling with issues of the past or future. It is a place that we live in for such a short passing moment, that if we are not careful, we may drift from the path that we are intended to take. We spend such a short time here, yet it has everything to do with our past and our future. It has everything to do with what will become regrets and wishes. The present is a place where our hearts and our souls watch the waves of life come in and wash away the past, creating a new canvas on which WE create our future, making today a beautiful "present".

VITAS Healthcare

INSIDE ADVISOR

New Year, New Chance to Plan Here’s a New Year’s resolution that puts you in control and takes a huge responsibility off your loved ones’ shoulders: 1. Talk to your family about your end-of-life wishes 2. Document your decisions in an advance directive, also known as a living will. 3. Get them to think about, talk about and document their own wishes for the end of their lives. Illness and death are not easy to discuss, but taking the initiative today means others won’t have to struggle to make those hard decisions for you later on. And while there’s no wrong time to address advance directives, milestone events like the holidays or the new year are

opportune times to hold whatif conversations with the people you are closest to.

Questions to Ask Yourself and Others

Here are some conversation starters: • If you had a terminal condition and there was no reasonable probability of recovery, what kind of treatments or life-saving measures would you want? What would you refuse? • If you weren’t able to speak for yourself, would your loved ones know what you want? Who would you want to speak for you?

Writing Down Your Wishes

There is lots of online information to help figure out what you would want and put those wishes in writing. Search for “advance directive forms” to find free or low-cost forms that you simply fill out and sign. You don’t need a lawyer, a notary, or any government agency to make your advance directives legitimate. Three great places to start: • AARP.org • caringinfo.org • agingwithdignity.org For more information about advance directives and end-of-life care, visit VITAS.com.

Always Available.

Even on Holidays. In the middle of the night, in the middle of a holiday dinner or in the middle of a four-day weekend, VITAS is here to admit a patient, answer a question, visit a family or send a nurse to the bedside of a seriously ill patient. Find out more. Visit us at our Aging Tree office 985 Harley Strickland Blvd., Suite 100, Orange City, FL 32763.

Medical Marijuana

INSIDE ADVISOR

Changing the Way We Treat Pain North America has been hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Prescriptions have increased 400% percent since 1999, and with this trend a shocking increase in fatal overdoses has followed. Every day, 40 people now die from prescription narcotic overdoses. Many also move on to heroin because it is cheaper, easier to find, and more potent. Could cannabis be part of the solution? Quite possibly. An increasing number of studies provide evidence that many patients can use cannabis instead of opioids to treat their pain, or they can significantly reduce their reliance on opioids. Furthermore, marijua-

na may be a safer option, as it is relatively difficult for someone to overdose on marijuana due to the large amount needed to induce a fatal reaction. With the passing of Amendment 2 in 2016, Floridians now have access to medical marijuana to treat ALS, cancer, Crohn's disease, chronic nonmalignant pain, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/ AIDS, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, PTSD, seizures, terminal illness, and other debilitating medical conditions comparable to those enumerated. Some physicians, like Dr. Jay Chanmugam at Genesis Family Practice in Orange City, FL have

By Andrew J. Gleason, BSN, CCRN, NP-S. Marketing Director begun seeing patients and providing prescriptions for those who qualify. This cost effective and safer alternative is prized to bring a change to the way pain is managed in the United States. Andrew Gleason is an experienced clinician with 7+ years of nursing experience with focus on neurological and cardiovascular critical care.

INSIDE ADVISOR

Let's Talk About Retirement Living: Top 5 Things You Need to Know About Independent Living Is it time you considered an independent living retirement community?

Independent living is one of the many senior care options available in our communities, but how do you know it’s right for you? Here are the top five things to know about independent living retirement options: 1. Residents of independent living communities have access to more advanced care. That means that as you age and your abilities change, the community may offer assisted living options or skilled nursing care rooms, making a potentially necessary transition much smoother in your later years. 2. Independent living reduces your homeowner responsibilities. If you’re getting concerned about home maintenance or repair – the costs and time involved – an independent living retirement option may be the right fit. Residency includes apartment and landscaping care, and many offer housekeeping and 24-hour security, too. 3. Social activities are abundant. Independent living retirement communities usually are bursting with a variety of activities, classes, and other extra-curricular programs. Neighborly activities are conducive to forming friendships, too – ushering in a welcome support network that many residents enjoy. 4. Wellness and recreational opportunities abound, too! Consider how active you wish to be in your retirement years. Does the community offer wellness programs? Look for independent living options that include fitness facilities and classes. While you’re at it, look for programs that treat the “whole person,” such as those that address emotional, spiritual and intellectual needs. (Meditation, anyone?) 5. Food, glorious food! Independent living retirement communities typically offer convenient access to dining, too. They may feature restaurants, cafeterias, grab-andgo takeout or convenience stores, or delivery! Even if you like to cook, who doesn’t love a break from the kitchen now and then? Another perk: The cafeteria staff will do the dishes, too! As you can see, several advantages surround independent retirement living. Is it the right time for you to explore your next chapter?

What You Should Know About Mouth Cancer

If a healthy and dazzling smile is important to you, choose a Prosthodontist. By Dr. John A. Whitsitt, D.D.S., F.A.C.P.

Although tobacco and alcohol are responsible for most oral cancers, reports show an increase in the disease in patients with little or no history of smoking or drinking. Oral cancer can occur anywhere in the mouth, on the surface of the tongue, the lips, inside the cheek, in the gums, in the roof and floor of the mouth, in the tonsils, and in the salivary glands. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 48,330 Americans received a diagnosis of oral or pharyngeal cancer in 2016, and about 9,570 deaths were predicted. Mouth cancer mostly happens after the age of 40, and the risk is more than twice as high in men as it is in women. Symptoms may include a red patch in the mouth, ulcers that do not heal, pain when swallowing, poorly fitting dentures, jaw pain or stiffness, difficulty chewing, hoarseness, soreness. Having any of these symptoms does not mean that a person has mouth cancer, but can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. The mouth can be examined by healthcare professionals with much greater ease and accuracy than many other parts of the body.

VA Benefits

Caring for Your Loved One at Home

erry Como sang it best, “There’s no place like home for the holidays!”, and the VA is trying to keep aging veterans there as long as possible through Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care. A Homemaker or Home Health Aide is a trained person who can come to a Veteran's home and help the Veteran take care of himself and his daily activities. Homemakers and Home Health Aides are not nurses, but they are supervised by a registered nurse who will help assess the Veteran's daily living needs. This program is for Veterans who need skilled services, case management and help with activities of daily living. Examples include help with bathing, dressing, fixing meals or taking medicines. This program is also for Veterans who are isolated or their caregiver is experiencing burden. Homemaker and Home Health Aide services can be used in combination with other Home and Community Based Services. Homemaker Home Health Aides work for an organization that has a contract with the VA. A Homemaker or Home Health Aide can be used as a part of an alternative to nursing home care, and as a way to get Respite Care

at home for Veterans and their family caregiver. The services of a Homemaker or Home Health Aide can help Veterans remain living in their own home and can serve Veterans of any age. Since Homemaker Home Health Aide services are part of a service within the VHA Standard Medical Benefits Package, all enrolled Veterans are eligible if they meet the clinical need for the service. A modest copay for Homemaker and Home Health Aide services may be charged based on your VA service-connected disability status. Homemaker Home Health Aide services can be used in combination with other Home and Community Based Services. Services are based on your assessed needs. Talk with a VA social worker to find out what specific help you may be able to receive. For example, an aide may be able to come to your house several times a week or just once in a while. Examples of daily activities you may be able to receive help with include: • Eating • Getting dressed • Bathing • Using the bathroom • Moving from one place to another

By Jeﬀ Bumb • • • • •

Shopping for food Cooking Cleaning Doing laundry Paying bills or managing money • Taking medication • Getting to appointments • Using the telephone You can continue to receive an aide's services for as long as you need extra help with your daily activities. If Homemaker or Home Health Aide services are right for you, your VA social worker may be able to help you make arrangements for those services. If you need help enrolling in VA health services, please visit us at one of our Volusia County Veterans Services offices in DeLand, Orange City or New Smyrna Beach. Walk-ins are welcome in the Deland office, Monday-Friday 8-4. Appointments are available in Orange City and New Smyrna Beach, on Wednesdays and walkins on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8-4.

Computer

How to Prolong the Life of Your Computer! No Change

1. Want to save a few bucks on your power bill and extend your computer power supply life? Once you shut down your laptop, unplug its power supply FROM THE WALL socket! This is also valid for coffee makers or any other appliance that use an external power cord.

QUICK TIPS

No Change

2. Sometimes we eat around our computer and laptop - crumbs can fall in the keyboard and cause it to not be as sensitive as we might want. How to solve this problem? Buy a can of compressed air, aim it and blow out anything lodged under the keys. 3. Having trouble seeing the screen? Just spray a bit of Windex on a small cloth and gently wipe your screen. You will be surprised just how much ‘gunk’ can collect on the screen – this works on TVs as well. 4. It is also a good idea to let your laptop’s battery drain and recharge it. Just ‘unplug’ your system and let it sit idle until it shuts off by itself. Then, plug the power supply in and let it charge. 5. Make sure PC had enough ‘room to breathe’. Both laptops and desktops need their vents exposed. Laptops should sit on a flat, well vented surface – not a pillow on your lap! 6. If your system is running a bit on the slow side, you may not need a new computer, rather, just a good deep cleaning. Doing so can bring a lot of old systems back to life and run better.

What are a Stroke's Warning Signs

Where You Go for Rehabilitation

DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

By Better Care for Stroke Rehabilitation, HLS, Staﬀ Writer A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When this happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so it starts to die. For this reason, some people compare a stroke to a heart attack. It is important to know a stroke’s warning signs and call 9-1-1 immediately should you notice the following stroke symptoms: • Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech • Face drooping • Severe headache with no known cause • Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg • Trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Walking difficulties The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) has issued its first guidelines on adult stroke rehabilitation calling for intensive, multidisciplinary treatment. Stroke rehabilitation at HealthSouth Altamonte Springs consists of a coordinated treatment plan developed and implemented by specialized physicians, therapists, nurses and other team members. HealthSouth Altamonte Springs has always provided a higher level of care to the people it serves. And now its commitment to stroke rehabilitation is visible via recognition by The Joint Commission. To learn more and begin restoring hope, contact HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altamonte Springs at 407 587-8600.

Designed to return patients to leading active, independent lives, HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Altamonte Springs is a 50-bed rehabilitation hospital that offers specialized inpatient programs for amputee, hip fracture, joint replacement, multiple sclerosis, neurological conditions, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, stroke and traumatic brain injury.
