Dear Savvy Senior:
Do-It-Yourself
What kinds of legal documents are suggested for end-of-life plans? I would like to get my affairs in order before it’s too late. Getting Old Dear Getting, Every adult – especially seniors – should have at least three essential legal documents to protect them and their family. These documents will make sure your wishes regarding your estate are legal and clear, and will help minimize any conflicts and confusion with your family and your health care providers if you become seriously illness or when you die. Here are the key documents you need, along with some tips to help you create them
A will:
This document lets you spell out your wishes of how you’d like your property and assets distributed after you die, whether it’s to family, friends or a charity. It also allows you to designate an executor to ensure your wishes are carried out, and allows you to name guardians if you have minor or dependent children. In addition to a will, if you own real estate or have considerable assets, another option you may want to consider is a “revocable living trust.” This functions like a will but allows your estate to avoid the time and expense of probate (the public legal process that examines your estate after you die) and helps ensure your estate’s privacy.
Durable Power of Attorney: This
allows you to designate someone you trust to make financial, tax and legal decisions on your behalf if you lose your decision-making capacity.
Advanced Health Care Directive:
This includes two documents that spell out your wishes regarding your end-oflife medical treatment. The two documents are a “living will” which tells your doctor what kind of care you want to receive if you become incapacitated,

If you have a simple estate and an uncomplicated family situation, there are several good do-it-yourself guides that can help you create all these documents for very little money.
Reedsville Manor
For creating a will, a top resource is the Quicken WillMaker Plus 2015 software (available at nolo.com) that costs $50, works with Windows personal computers and is valid in every state except Louisiana. If you use a Mac, nolo.com offers an online will maker for $35. Or, if you only need to create an advance directive you can do it for free at caringinfo.org (or call 800-658-8898), where you can get state-specific forms with instructions. Or for only $5, an even better tool is the Five Wishes document (agingwithdignity.org, 888-594-7437), which is valid in 42 states and will help you create a customized advance directive.
Get Help
If, however, you want or need assistance or if you have a complicated financial situation, blended family or have considerable assets, you should hire an attorney. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases – especially when writing a will or living trust – which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. Costs will vary depending on where you reside, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 for a will, or $1,200 to $5,000 for a living trust. The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (actec.org) and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see findlegalhelp.org) to find low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-6771116 for a referral.

A visit to the pharmacy can be about more than just picking up prescriptions or supplies for the medicine cabinet. It can actually be an important, and convenient, time to ask your pharmacist key questions that could impact your health. Dr. Andria Fetterman, a faculty member in South University Savannah’s School of Pharmacy, encourages people to use their pharmacist as a resource for information about everything from
prescription medication to lifestyle changes. Fetterman says there are five key questions you should frequently ask your pharmacist. What can I expect from this medication? Fetterman says whether you’re picking up an over-the-counter remedy or a prescription, you should feel free to ask your pharmacist what to expect from the medication. “Many medications have potential side effects that you should be aware of before you take them,” advises Fetterman. “It may be something as mild as a little stomach discomfort EXERCISE continued on page 6

or drowsiness, but knowing what to expect will help you handle any potential side effects. Also, knowing what to expect could keep you from blaming any new, unrelated symptoms on your medication.” You should also ask how long it will take for your medication to make you feel better. Fetterman says most antibiotics should have you feeling better in three to five days, but an anti-depressant may need to be in your system for three weeks before you begin to feel its effects. If a prescription medicine doesn’t seem to be working in the proper time frame, you should let your doctor know. Remember that sudden discontinuation
of some medications, without proper professional advice, can be costly to your health. How long should I take an over the counter medication before I call my doctor? Over-the-counter medicines can provide relief for a number of ailments, but sometimes you need to see a doctor either for a prescription or a correct diagnosis of your symptoms. Fetterman says your pharmacist can help guide you when you’re not sure if it is time to see a doctor. “A pharmacist can give you advice on how quickly you should see symptom relief with an over-thecounter medication,” says Fetterman.
“Many times, people will treat themselves too long with over-thecounter medicine or will switch from one product to another looking for relief, and many times don’t go to a physician when they need to.” How do I manage my condition? “When someone leaves the doctor’s office after a diagnosis, they may be scared or shell-shocked,” Fetterman explains. “There may be questions about medication or daily management that they didn’t think to ask. That’s where a pharmacist can help.” Fetterman uses Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure as examples. “A pharmacist can counsel you about weight loss, healthy eating and ways
to promote cardiovascular activity. With proper disease management, some patients can actually reduce or eliminate their need for prescription medication altogether.” Do these medicines mix? Fetterman says it is important to ask a pharmacist about whether any new medication will mix well with other things you are already taking. “Dietary supplements, herbal supplements and over-the-counter medicines can interact or interfere with prescription medications. When you are having a prescription filled, your pharmacist should ask you about all other medications that you’re taking. If you’re on prescription medication, check with the pharmacist before beginning any new over-the-counter supplements or medication to make sure it is safe.”

What should I do about my persistent, minor symptoms? Fetterman says you should never hesitate to ask a pharmacist about a persistent, minor symptom that might be bothering you. “If you’re having a non-specific or persistent symptom that you think is minor, you should still ask your pharmacist about it,” says Fetterman. “A pharmacist can recommend an overthe-counter medicine that may relieve symptoms, but can also advise you to see a doctor about your symptom rather than ignoring it. “A pharmacist can be a great source of health information. All you have to do is ask.”
CLEAR VISION Local potter continues to follow his dream By Joni Shavlik 50 Plus correspondent
During an artisan residency in Beaver Dam, potter and artisan David Martin found himself addressing some 400 sixth graders about his love of “throwing” clay. Throwing clay means to spin it on a potter’s wheel, taking a lump of uninteresting clay and turning it into something beautiful and useful. He gave the youth good instruction in the art of making pots, but more importantly he told them to, “follow that voice in your head. If you like to study bugs, then go study bugs! If you like trees, then learn all you can about them!” Martin, 56, has always had a clear vision of what he loves to do since he first used a potter’s kick wheel in eighth grade. It was in an eighth-grade art class at Badger Middle School in West Bend where Martin literally “threw clay!” “You really have to throw it hard to make it stick, and it has to have just the right amount of moisture,” Martin jested. Yes, they did throw clay in that class, but they also learned the proper way! And somewhere in the fun and the instruction something “stuck” with Martin, because he’s been seeking opportunities to foster his passion for throwing clay ever since. As a freshman in high school he was able to use an electric wheel instead of the kick wheel and fell in love with clay. “I remember clearly thinking in high school, ‘I will be a pottery studio owner in my 50s,’” he said.
While a college student at UW Stevens Point, Martin started teaching pottery classes at the student union while earning his degree in psychology and art. Following college he worked in sales and marketing. While enjoying success in the corporate world, he never lost sight of his goal to own a pottery studio. He likens his craft to playing an instrument. “There are certain things that have to be done to make it work: practice, experimentation, and having just the right touch,” he said. There were certain things he needed to do to keep his high school dream alive, and besides working full time, he audited classes in pottery at a local university in Illinois. Martin works an agate piece on the pottery wheel inside his studio at Martin Pottery Years later in Milwaukee, he rented space David Studio & Gallery in Manitowoc.

and continued experimenting with clay. Then in 1988, he and his wife bought an old schoolhouse in Horicon. They lived in half of the building and Martin had his pottery studio in the other half. Six years later, the first of two sons were born. His setup made it possible for him to be a potter and at-home dad. He made pots and traveled to art shows. The tourist traffic in Horicon is good during the bird migration in the spring and fall. Birders came to town to visit the marsh and many of those same folks also came to his studio. Martin’s inspiration from the Horicon Marsh inspired his painting of cattails and marsh grasses on many pieces. Now near the shores of Lake Michigan, his painted glazed patterns have evolved to include shoreline grasses. Just a familiar glide of the paint brush up the side of a lamp base depicts the flowing grasses found on the shores, but Mar-

USA Today The slower lifestyle people associate
with the south may be a draw, as well as the unique cuisine and beautiful architecture. Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is best known as the home to Dollywood, yet offers so much more. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, the mountain resort has a local population of just over 5,000, yet offers live music, comedy and dinner shows. Among larger cities, Bing predicts that Nashville and New Orleans will increase in popularity, as well.

The day you plan your stay at Rehab at Shady Lane is the day we begin preparing for you to leave us. Your team – including your surgeon, your medical facility, and our staff – optimizes resources and plans the best way for you to recover. Because our rehab unit is separate from other units, you are surrounded by people who share your objective of going home. Add to this a healing diet, a cuisine of “power foods” designed to encourage healing.
Designed for Living
It’s a little like living at a resort . . . no shopping, no cooking, no cleaning! Bring your own furnishings and make yourself at home. You’ll find the security of having the help you need when you need it and the privacy you want. Offering accommodations from a single bedroom to a 2-bedroom apartment.
Short Term Stays Available!
Planning surgery but feeling uncomfortable going home? We can help. Come and stay for a few days until you’re comfortable on your own.
You Deserve A Place Of Your Own When you’ve worked your entire life, you deserve a place to call your own. All of our rooms are private rooms with bathrooms and we offer some suites which include a living room, bedroom and private bath. Our attentive nursing staff is dedicated to compassionate and loving care. • Private Rooms & Suites • Hospice Care • Medicare & Medicaid Certified
