DAILY HABIT THAT CAN HELP MEN IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH
Drink more water. Get up and walk around throughout the workday. Men who work in office settings or other environments that require them to sit for long periods of time should make a concerted effort to get up and move around during the workday. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that workers who avoided sitting for six uninterrupted hours reported feeling more energetic throughout the day than those who were not active. In addition, the study found that those who rose for hourly five-minute walks reported greater happiness, less fatigue and smaller cravings for food than on days when they took a single 30-minute walk.

What to know about hospice at home e philosophy behind hospice is that people should be able to live as fully and as comfortably as possible through the last days of their lives, surrounded by loved ones and friends. Hospice treats the symptoms of illness rather than trying to be curative. Hospice also does not try to postpone nor accelerate death.

e American Cancer Society says hospice care is offered by a team of professionals who work together to manage distress, symptoms and spiritual issues. Services also are offered to family members, including access to counselors and bereavement experts. Hospice workers help family members make decisions and plan care. Hospice is a form of care, rather than a place. Saying a person is going into hospice means he or she will begin to receive this type of palliative care. While hospice can take place in a center that only offers this type of service, a hospice team can work in a variety of settings, including one’s home.
Many people receive hospice care at home. VNS Health provides care in spaces patients call home and says that hospice care can include administration of medications, arrangement of equipment (like beds and oxygen) and visits from a hospice care team. A hospice team may include nurses, social workers, physicians, therapists, and even clergy who come to the home to offer support and care.
Home hospice care begins with a team member visiting with a terminally ill person and his or her family. During a visit, needs will be addressed and the hospice team can arrange for desired services.
Members of the hospice staff will visit regularly to check up and make sure that any symptoms are under control.
Families are urged to do their homework to find the best program for their needs.

RAISE THE STAKE OF FAMILY GAME NIGHT
STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne
In the 1950s, Quaker Oats devised a clever marketing scheme in which the company bought 19.11 acres in the Yukon, divided them into 21 million parcels of just a square inch apiece, and included deeds to the tiny plots in boxes of Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice.

You can customize the winning categories depending on the game played so everyone gets a fighting chance at a prize. Keep awards simple, like candy bars or other appealing treats.

How To HELP Pets In The Aftermath Of Hurricane Helene
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m heartbroken seeing the destruction in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina a er Hurricane Helene. ere must be a lot of lost, hungry and suffering pets. I want to fill my truck and trailer with pet food and drive it to where it’s most needed, but I’m not sure where to go. Do you have any advice? -Maggie in upstate New York
DEAR ZACK: It is heartwarming knowing that you and other pet owners want to do something positive for people and their pets in these areas that have been so hard hit. As I write this, organizations from across the country are getting in place, setting up in strategic locations so that they can distribute aid, assist with rescues and help recover those lost to this storm. With many major highways cut, travel is nearly impossible in North Carolina, and very difficult elsewhere.
e best thing that you can do right now is to stay put. Instead of driving supplies to disaster areas, start a fundraising drive and donate cash to an organization that is actively helping pets and their owners.
For example, the ASPCA is working with the Humane Society in Charlotte, North Carolina, to evacuate rescue and foster dogs from Asheville and surrounding areas. e Humane Society of the United States is doing likewise. Both organizations are helping owners with pet food and medical care, and providing shelter to animals without families. Donating to these major organizations, or selecting a local shelter or rescue group in these areas to support now and in the months to come, will help immensely.

Here’s A Tip
By JoAnn Derson
* Sometimes dry erase markers and permanent markers look the same in a hurry. Ever grabbed a marker to write a note on a dry erase white board and found that it wouldn’t wipe off? To remove permanent marker from a white board, try using a pencil eraser. Rub lightly on the marker areas only, working from the outside in. It should come off.
* Rusty bicycle handles can be unsightly and a pain. Make a paste of salt and lemon juice (three parts salt, one part lemon juice), and use it to rub the rust away with a dry cloth.
* “If you have magazines or books that you are finished reading, perhaps you’d consider donating them to local seniors centers. You can look in the yellow pages to see if there are any near you. O en, the seniors are grateful to have new reading material.” -- T.C. in Florida

Familiarize yourself with the rules when planning your tailgate.

Hometown People
I love reading the Hometown Stories column each week. Learning about local people and organizations doing amazing things makes me thankful to live in such a great community. In an age of increasing technology and weaker personal connections, it's great to know our communities still thrive and bring people together. Thank you to everyone who has been featured on that page and I look forward to learning more about other great folks around town!
I called [national fix it company] to repair a washing machine. First they had a tech come out that said we needed to order a part but that we could get it cheaper online. So we ordered it online and called the company to come back. They replaced the part and the machine was working for a short time and then stopped again. They came back again and said the same part was broken but that it wasn’t covered under warranty since we bought it online. So now we have to buy the same part again and it will take 3 weeks for it to arrive. UGH.
Dockworkers Strike
Greed has already begun. If there’s a shortage of items due to the strike, why do businesses get away with raising prices of items already in stock? Businesses already paid for the items that are staged in their stockrooms. A shortage is one thing, but price increases is price gouging.
Being part of small communities here in Steuben County, means we usually know our local police, fire and ems as our friends, neighbors and family.

We appreciate the time and effort you put into protecting us while putting yourselves at risk and taking time from your own families to do what you do.

DEAR DR. ROACH: About 3 months ago, I bled a bit while urinating. This was the first (and only) time in over 30 years that this happened since I went through menopause. An ultrasound was performed, and they found a mildly thickened endometrium (6.1 mm) with scattered cystic change and without focal lesion. My gynecologist is suggesting an endometrial biopsy. I am concerned because I have no symptoms other than kidney stones. I’m due to see a urologist, but even with my kidney stones, I have no symptoms. I am 80 and concerned about anesthesia. Should I go ahead with the biopsy? -- L.O.
ANSWER: A thickened endometrium is concerning for uterine cancer. The most common symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal uterine bleeding. This usually takes the form of red, pink or brown spotting. However, it sounds like you had blood in your urine, which is more concerning for kidney stones than uterine bleeding.
Your ultrasound is abnormal; 5 mm is the maximum thickness for a normal endometrium. Getting a biopsy is clearly the recommended procedure, as it gives guidance on the next steps. Still, your risk of uterine cancer is small. You do not have to proceed with the biopsy if you do not want to.
An endometrial biopsy is an in-office procedure with minimal risk. My textbooks say there is minimal pain, but my patients tell me this isn’t always the case. You don’t have to receive anesthesia; you can take pain medication (such as naproxen), get a local anesthetic, or do both. I’ve had several patients who’ve requested a nerve block and were happy with their decision. If the biopsy shows cancer of the endometrium, surgery is the preferred treatment, but radiation is also a possibility for some people.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have always been a runner, but foot pain has kept me from running in the past few years. Now I have severe pain, even when walking. An MRI showed nothing wrong. The foot and ankle specialist I saw did X-rays and found a large bone spur. He said that surgery to remove the bone spur could get me to walk and run again. I’m 70 and unanxious to have surgery, and the surgeon says he does many of these surgeries with a good outcome. What do you think? -- E.W.
ANSWER: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a cause of foot pain where the Achilles tendon is inserted into the calcaneus, the heel bone. This problem frequently occurs with runners, especially those with tight calf muscles. The damage done to the tendon sometimes causes a reaction in the bone, causing an osteophyte (a bone spur).
Conservative management includes rest, ice and physical therapy to help with strength and flexibility. Anti-inflammatory medicines may be helpful. Splinting at nighttime, orthotics, or special shoes are also helpful for some people. Prior to considering surgery, experts will consider shockwave treatment, although it’s not clear how effective this is.
If surgery is considered, there are several different techniques, and your surgeon will pick what they think is best for you and what they have the most expertise in. Patient satisfaction rates are to be between 86%-95% with surgery. Given the fact that your life has already been affected, and the likelihood that your pain and decreased ability to exercise is likely to worsen, you should seek more aggressive treatment. If physical therapy and other nonoperative treatments have failed, I recommend you strongly consider surgery.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.
