Why Physical Therapy? There are many choices. Here’s why you should see a physical therapist first. Are you or a family member dealing with pain and aren’t quite sure who you should go see? A physical therapist might not be the first person you think of, but hopefully after reading this it’ll help you understand how we can help. Larry Ohman, What does a physical therapist do and how PT, OCS can they help with an injury? A physical therapist can help you move better. Whether you are having trouble getting out of bed, picking up your kids, having difficulty reaching into the cupboards, or any other daily tasks that you’re having trouble doing, a PT can help. We spend one on one time with you to understand your needs and goals. We develop a comprehensive plan to help you get back to what YOU want to do, which is the whole point right? A physical therapist can help facilitate your recovery, by giving you the tools to be successful. We want to empower you to be able to do things needed to keep you healthy for the long run. Your physical therapist is focused on getting you back to the things you enjoy. If you choose PT first, you’ll likely feel better faster, and could potentially save money in the process! Who doesn’t love to save money? In most states, you can see a physical therapist first without needing a referral. Most people don’t know that, so we’re trying to make sure people understand they have a choice in where they want to go to get better. Physical therapy can be compared to a car mechanic, but for your body. If you need to invest in parts or work done to keep your car running properly, why wouldn’t you do the same thing with regards to your health? There are many places you can go for an injury, painful condition, or loss of mobility. You can choose physical therapy first. Call the Institute of Physical Therapy to schedule an appointment with one of our professionals, and see how physical therapy can help you.

PREVENTION

TREATMENT OF DEMENTIA Treatment varies based on the type of dementia diagnosed. For

There are no proven ways to prevent dementia. Here are some things that seem to help keep the brain healthy:

Class aims to help caregivers better communicate with Alzheimer’s patients Free classes on effective communication strategies for dementia caregivers are set for 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Area Agency on Aging Community Action Partnership conference room, 124 New Sixth St. in Lewiston, and 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 17 in the Gritman Medical Center conference room, 700 S. Main St. in Moscow. This class teaches strategies and new ways for families and caregivers to communicate with and connect to sufferers as verbal skills deteriorate. Registration isn’t necessary, but free in-home respite is available during both classes with advance notice by calling Stephanie Bodden at (208) 743-5580. This class qualifies for two Department of State Health Services-approved continuing education hours (CEs) that are available upon request for a $20 processing fee. More information is available by calling (208) 666-2996. l Physical activity and a healthy diet l Social interaction l Brain stimulation such as crossword and sudoku puzzles (several online resources such as the Lumosity and Clevermind applications and others may be found on the website https:// www.developinghumanbrain. org/brain-exercises-preventalzheimers-dementia/)

LOCAL RESOURCES Resources are available through the Alzheimer’s Association and other resources online. Joining a support group for caregivers, and also for

patients, may be very helpful. Home health resources usually are available for severe cases, and include home health nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy and social services for function, rehabilitation and safety. Dementia resources on the Palouse that help support family members dealing with dementia in their loved ones include the Martin Wellness Clinic in Moscow, Circles of Caring Adult Day Services in Pullman and Palouse Dementia Care LLC in Moscow. Homes that specialize in dementia care in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley, include Life Care Center and Wedgewood Terrace (this is not an all-inclusive list). More information dedicated to supporting those with dementia or their caregivers, may be found through the Idaho Commission on Aging (https://aging.idaho.gov/ caregiver/) or the Alzheimer’s Association (https://alz.org/).

CONCLUSION Dementia is a common, difficult situation many will face. Resources are available to help. And more information for treatment and prevention will hopefully be available in future through medical research. Since the future is unknown for all of us regarding dementia or other illnesses, it may be said that we should all live life to the fullest each and every day. This article is dedicated to the memory of my former father-inlaw Donald M. Clay, who died of dementia complications at the young age of 62. ——— Todd is a board-certified family physician at Moscow Medical at 213 N. Main St. in Moscow.

take another El Dorado County (Calif.) road full of bends, culminating in a sharp right turn, then nearly straight down toward a gurgling, year-round creek. I park in the designated area, grab my large bag full of supplies and hurry toward the path leading to the small, weatherbeaten house. There he sits, like a little Charlie Chaplin poster, wearing suit, tie and Sunday hat. “Same suit I wore to my wedding,” he tells me every time. His eyes sparkle behind thick glasses as he hurries toward me with mincing little steps, coming as quickly as his cane allows and tossing his cigarette with the other hand. He crooks an arm, offering it for support as he guides me down the narrow, flowerlined path. He looks forward to my visit almost as much as his wife, Mary. His wife — I grab one last gulp of fresh air before opening the door. The stench is overpowering. The hospital bed is right in the center of the room, with stacks of supplies on both sides. She lays motionless, bone-thin, with white, translucent skin. On the right side of her neck is a large, gaping hole, from which the constant flow of blood and cancer waste is running 24 hours a day. I hurriedly grab rubber gloves and several large packs of 4- by 4-inch gauze pads. A daughter stands ready with a bowl of crushed ice, and Mary’s son stands on the other side of the bed. He knows what to expect and has several large plastic garbage bags ready. Immersing several pads at a time, I begin applying cold packs to the opening, trying to stem the flow somewhat. Mary finds this soothing, as it apparently numbs the area. I continue doing this for 15 minutes or so, all the while taking a mental note of the rapid growth of the angry rivers of cancer spiraling upward to the brain and below the right clavicle to the breast. Another large one is growing down the back as well. I estimate an incredible two inches of growth in just the past two days. And this is only what shows on the outside. The job has just begun, however, as Mary is stuck fast to the bed from all the drainage. Every movement causes her agony, and she does not want to be bathed. The registered nurse is expected very soon, and I have been instructed to have everything cleaned up when she arrives. Good nursing

care includes prevention of bedsores, and to leave her like this could cause more problems. Mary is incontinent, and the peritoneal area must be cleaned. Part of my job is to look for bedsores in this area also, and to note the color or changes in the bodily emissions. I promise her a bowl of vanilla ice cream when I finish.

ing the upper part of her emaciated little body. Many bed pans have been used under her, but the drainage has gone through everything. Difficult jobs such as this have to be done speedily and efficiently for the sake of the patient. I praise the son and daughter for their excellent help. As soon as I have dirty pads or linens loose, the son stuffs them into large bags, while the daughter keeps me supplied with clean basins of water. Usually I am alone with my clients. It is surprising how many people are living alone, desperate for some help. “God bless supportive families,” I tell them. Always wanting to know the whys and wherefores of things, I ask the daughter if she knows the cause of this insidious cancer. “Mama grew up in the hills of Tennessee, and back there everyone began chewing tobacco when they were little kids. Mama was about 6 or 7 years old. The daughter begins feeding Mary little bites of ice cream, which, surprisingly, she seems to be enjoying. She then takes me by surprise. “Are you a Christian,” she asks. I assure her that I am. “Then will you join us in a prayer circle for Mama?” Everyone joins hands in a circle around Mama. She is visibly moved as we offer up prayers on her behalf. Even Charlie, whom I suspect is a reluctant participant in religious affairs, takes part. Finished, I grab my bag and thankfully head for the fresh air. Charlie is already outside lighting up a Camel. Once again, the arm is extended. “Are you coming back tomorrow,” he asks. Assuring him that I will, I secretly wonder if there will be any tomorrow for Mary. Helping me into my car, he leans through the window. “I have something to tell you. I had X-rays yesterday. They found lung cancer,” he says. “Too late to do anything.” We both shed a tear. I kiss his cheek as usual, just as I had Mary’s a few minutes ago. (Mary lived another week, and Charlie less than two more months. I think of them often.)

A, B, C or D?

By MICHELLE SCHMIDT

MSCHMIDT@LMTRIBUNE.COM

picking a Medicare plan makes you panic, you’re not alone. Most people avoid the whole thing as long as possible, but “it’s not as scary as it seems,” said Jim Murphy, a Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors volunteer in Moscow who offers free advice about health insurance to senior adults. With enrollment currently open for Medicare parts C and D, now is the time for many seniors to take some decisive action. And thanks to volunteer advisers, it’s not something you have to figure out on your own. Murphy offered this basic information about Medicare, the current open enrollment season and help that is available for those seeking to enroll:

Anyone using Medicaid will get Medicare for free (Medicaid pays the Medicare premium), plus extra help to assist with Part D. Most people enroll in Medicare around age 65, during a sevenmonth window called the Initial Enrollment Period that begins three months prior to the month of their birthday and continues through their birthday month and the three months following. Some people are automatically enrolled for Medicare parts A and/or B, and some must enroll manually. Advisers can help individuals determine if they need to enroll. A person can also enroll during the General Enrollment Period from Jan. 1 to March 31, but there can be late-enrollment penalties for not signing up for Medicare when you are first eligible. If a person has health coverage through their employer or spouse’s employer, however, they can delay Medicare Part B enrollment without penalty by enrolling during the General Enrollment Period or an eight-month Special Enrollment Period that begins the month the employment or health coverage ends.

IT’S OPEN ENROLLMENT SEASON; HERE’S A PRIMER IN FINDING THE RIGHT MEDICARE ANSWERS FOR YOU

A: There are many Medicare Part D plans to choose from, and a person’s prescription drug needs are highly personalized. The number of prescriptions people take and where they buy them will influence how much their Medicare Part D coverage will cost. For example, there are 25 Medicare Part D plans available for Latah County residents. Some may benefit from a more expensive plan that covers a larger percentage of drug costs, while another would not benefit from the same plan. Likewise, Medicare Advantage Plans vary significantly in cost and coverage, and many people benefit from personalized advice.

> Free Medicare open enrollment help The yearly Medicare open enrollment season opened Oct. 15 and continues through Dec. 7. Free help in understanding plan options and changes, signing up for an appropriate plan or altering existing plans is available to Idaho and Washington seniors.

l The flu can kill people, including healthy adults. l Getting a flu shot will not give you the flu. The vaccine is made from an inactivated virus that cannot transmit infection. l The current vaccine provides protection against multiple strains of the virus, including H3N2. l Even though the vaccine is not 100 percent effective in preventing flu, it can reduce the severity of flu symptoms. l People age 65 and older are at high risk according to the Center for Disease Control. l It takes two weeks for the vaccine to take effect. Medical professionals advise getting the shot before influenza starts spreading widely. ——— Weiford is the senior news writer for WSU News.

Fincham said. “Every year the World Health Organization looks to outbreaks in the Southern Hemisphere to gauge which strains are circulating and how virulent they are,” she said. The influenza virus circulates most heavily during their winter — which is our summer — and then migrates to the northern hemisphere as autumn arrives. Ever punctual, the germ is popping up around the country, including here in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, Fincham, who treats patients in addition to teaching, has seen influenza clobber young, otherwise healthy patients. “They seem surprised that they actually got the flu,” she said. Because common misconceptions can cloud people’s views about getting a shot, Fincham offers this evidence-based advice in favor of getting vaccinated:

he flu season has arrived, with eight flu-related hospitalizations in Spokane in September. What’s more, a northern Idaho man died of the virus in late September, according to health officials. Though an early arrival of the virus is no indicator that the entire season will be bad, health officials are urging residents to get flu shots. “Now is the best time — while the number of flu cases is still low — to get vaccinated. We can protect ourselves and also our family, friends and the community,” said family nurse practitioner Sarah Fincham, assistant clinical professor at Washington State University’s college of nursing in Spokane. Those hospitalized were sickened by influenza Type A (H3N2), a strain typically associated with more severe symptoms, said Malia Nogle of the Spokane Regional Health District. It is also the predominant strain circulating in Australia, which is wrapping up one of its worst flu seasons on record, according to health officials there. Patterns in the southern hemisphere help lay the groundwork for predicting what could happen when the virus establishes itself in North America,

From the moment we stepped onto the golden stones of the street, I was impressed by the sounds. Thick rock walls effectively shut out the rest of the world’s noise. I could only hear the sounds within the .35-square-mile city. It was a step back in time. Shopkeepers in the six-footwide booths enticed buyers with their fine descriptions of their wares. It was difficult to concentrate on the products while trying to navigate the constantly ascending or descending streets.

The Muslim call to prayer, a Jewish family below our balcony sang, and the church tower’s bell rang. When they stopped, I could hear the quiet twitter and cooing of birds going to sleep. I enjoyed the sounds of nightingales singing, the prayers at the wall, the celebration song and dance of a family giving their 3-year-old his first haircut, the circle of girls singing in the garden, the three women who sang for us and the silent reverence in the holy places. The greatest sound of all was the jubilant singing and dancing of the young Jewish men as they celebrated the last Shabbat of the year. Rosh Hashanah was coming in four days. — Sharon Chase Hoseley GOLDEN TIMES

Leslie Stromberg of Grangeville was born in 1927, the oldest of three sons born to Charles and Linda Stromberg in Iron River, Mich. He graduated from Stambaugh High School in 1945 and worked as a logger until called to military service, where he served for 16 months, most of that time in occupied Japan. Leslie met and married Julia Pottala in February 1950. Both were working in logging camps in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she as a camp cook and he as a logger. Following their marriage, Leslie also spent time there working at underground iron ore mines of that area. The couple and their young family moved in 1953 to Grangeville, where he became a successful logging contractor, retiring from that profession in 1990. Julia died in January 2010 after nearly 59 years of marriage. Always an avid hunter and fisherman, Leslie stayed active in those hobbies until recent years. He still lives in his rural Mount Idaho home, where cooking and baking help fill his days, along with caring for his best canine friend, Jake. A family celebration is planned with his daughter, son and son-in-law of Grangeville, and Leslieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. golden times

Something to smile about Quad Cities mobile dentist on a mission to improve oral care for older adults teams up with Moscow care facility By MICHELLE SCHMIDT

Dr. Rich Bailey of Onsite Dental Services prepares to work on Goldie Osborn during an appointment last summer at Brookdale Senior Living in Lewiston.

GOLDEN TIMES

ori Abendroth knocked on the door and walked into the room. Five evenings a week, she visits around 40 residents at Good Samaritan Society in Moscow to clean their teeth. “No one wants to talk to you anymore when you’re old,” a woman called out from a wheelchair, her back to the door. At the age of 95, she doesn’t hesitate to say what’s on her mind. “Oh, that’s not true,” Abendroth replied, facing her patient and wheeling her to the center of the room. After more words of assurance, Abendroth gets down to business, asking if she can clean the woman’s dentures. Her spirits lifted, the woman obliged and the two chatted while Abendroth scrubbed and placed them in a cup for overnight soaking. As she worked, the conversation turned to a collection of apples on the woman’s bedside table, then to events of the past. Within 10 minutes, the woman’s dentures were clean, and her mouth had been treated with an antibacterial rinse. Smiles and small talk had been exchanged; concerns and preferences were acknowledged; comfort was offered and received. Who knew that cleaning someone’s teeth could be so beautiful?

The effect of aging on oral health When it comes to health and hygiene, aging brings a host of challenges, including potential changes in one’s ability to care for their own oral health. The oncesimple of task of daily brushing can be forgotten or become difficult, taking a backseat to more pressing needs or discomforts. Dr. Rich Bailey of Pullman practiced dentistry in the Lewiston-Clarkston valley from 200815. During that time, he observed many older patients experience a sudden decline in oral health. “They would be doing great the whole time, and then all of the sudden they’d show up for one appointment and have a dozen deep cavities,” Bailey said. “It was a sharp drop-off.” The trend generally was connected to a shift in health or living situation, often as a person was sliding into dementia. People who had been fastidious about brushing and flossing were no longer able to provide thorough, consistent care for themselves. Older adults have a number of added risk factors that contribute to a decline in oral health. Those with M O N D A Y, N O V E M B E R 6 , 2 0 1 7

“They would be doing great the whole time, and then all of the sudden they’d show up for one appointment and have a dozen deep cavities. It was a sharp drop-off.” Dr. Rich Bailey, describing the swift decline of older patients’ oral health dementia don’t always remember to remember to brush their teeth daily, Bailey said, and may resist help for this very personal task. Finger and hand dexterity can be limited by arthritis or other conditions, Bailey said, so that even if individuals are willing to brush, they’re not able to perform the task as effectively. And declining mobility can hamper a person’s ability to get to a dentist for a regular cleaning and examination. A dry mouth also contributes to oral health problems. Salivary glands don’t work as well when a person ages, Bailey explained, and the condition can be compounded with certain types of medication. High-sugar foods also can be a factor for some older people who lose interest in maintaining a nutritious diet. This can be especially true in a home or care facility where sweets are a constant option. “There are a dozen variables that

add to (a decline in oral health), and you only need two or three to cause a lot of trouble,” Bailey said.

A declining number of care options At a certain point, Bailey said, dental care becomes less about preserving teeth and more about supporting overall health and keeping patients’ mouths clean and comfortable. Teeth that are missing or in poor condition make it hard to enjoy certain foods and can cause embarrassment. But dentures aren’t always a solution. “Learning to use dentures is like learning to ride a bicycle, you have to be up for it,” Bailey said. “I’ve had some patients tell me, ‘I feel like I’m wearing a shoe in my mouth.’ ” Usually by the time someone is no longer able to care for their oral health, the vitality in their teeth is

g o l den t i me s

gone, so decay doesn’t cause pain. But as brittle teeth break, sharp edges develop. Since most patients at that stage prefer non-invasive solutions, Bailey said, filling a cavity or extracting a tooth isn’t worth the discomfort and hassle for them. Instead these rough spots are typically filed down. “The thing that bothers them the most is the rough edges,” Bailey said. Beyond basic comfort and aesthetics, poor oral health can lead to serious health complications. Infections and inflammation burden the immune system and can lead to an overall deterioration of health. Bailey said, and studies show a connection between oral health and heart health. “The mouth is the gateway to the body,” Bailey said.

The search for practical solutions While it’s easy to identify risk factors and obstacles to optimal oral health, it’s tougher to come up with working solutions. Many older adults live alone. Among those who receive care at home

checked for sore spots that might indicate the denture is no longer fitting properly. The dental assistant can choose to do additional cleaning if it seems beneficial. The time required to clean the mouth varies from person to person, though it generally takes one staff member about four hours to get to everyone. Before starting, Abendroth meets with the nursing staff to discuss any changes or specific needs of residents for that day. By now, Abendroth knows the general evening routine for the residents she cares for, so she goes from room to room in order of who might prefer to be seen earlier in the evening and ending with those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settle into their rooms until later on. Abendroth shares the cleaning tasks with one other staff member; she works five days a week, and the other covers the remaining two. She feels this consistency is especially valuable for the demographic they are serving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They start to trust you after a while, and I feel like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. It

can be an invasive thing, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to develop trust,â&#x20AC;? Abendroth said. The consistency also allows her to learn patient preferences, meet specific needs and figure out solutions. For example, she normally asks residents for permission right before providing care, but one couple always declined when she asked. Eventually she discovered they happily complied if she just announced that she was going to provide care. Learning these â&#x20AC;&#x153;tricksâ&#x20AC;? and resident preferences makes it easier on everyone, she said. The regular checks also allow her to catch any problems that begin to develop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look in their mouths five times a week, I can see changes,â&#x20AC;? Abendroth said. Abendroth recently noticed an ulceration that was developing in one resident. She let Bailey know, and the change was documented and checked. Having a trained professional knowing what to look for makes a difference, she said. Sometimes residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice changes themselves, and sometimes they lack the

S u d o ko

ability to say they have a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime you let a dental problem go, it gets worse,â&#x20AC;? Abendroth said.

The care factor The visible improvement in oral health is the primary reason that Good Samaritan continues to use this high-quality oral health preventative program, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger than that,â&#x20AC;? Berg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called us to take care of these people.â&#x20AC;? And sometimes care means taking the extra moment to share a smile, or listen to someone or ask about their day. Abendroth gets paid only to clean teeth. But in the course of doing her job, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes called upon to lend a hand with other caregiving tasks, and she sees great value in the relational care she inadvertently provides along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are people,â&#x20AC;? Berg said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have someone pay attention to you.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Schmidt can be reached at (208) 305-4578 or mschmidt@ lmtribune.com.
