Writing a Sympathy Card

An authentic handwritten message can mean a lot to someone dealing with grief. It shows that you’ve sat down and thought about it as opposed to buying a pre-written card. Sharing fond memories and sincere feelings is a respectful way to remember the passing of a loved one and to offer condolences to their friends and family. If you’re able to offer support, then definitely mention this in your sympathy card. ose grieving will o en have lots to do and will appreciate any help you may be able to offer even if they don’t take you up on it.

STUDY TIP FOR A STRONG START IN SCHOOL

Avoid cram sessions. Devising a study plan is better than cramming the night before a test. The American Psychological Association says students may perform well on a test for which they’ve crammed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve truly learned the material. Studying with a goal of retaining the material long-term is important.

Two-Year-Old Incision Occasionally Secretes Fluid

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old, very active male. My left Achilles tendon severed two years ago, but it was surgically repaired. I had an 8-inch incision that has totally healed, with the exception of one small area about the size of the lead of a pencil. It’s 3 inches above my heel. This small area would close up for a few days, then reopen with small amounts of offwhite ﬂuid oozing from the little hole. Sometimes I apply Iodosorb, which keeps the area dry for a while. But, for whatever reason, showers seem to make the incision release ﬂuid. I apply a bandage over the wound for most sporting or exercise events, just so that it doesn’t get rubbed by the top of my shoe. Is there any solution to this, or do I just have to live with it? -R.M.

ANSWER: The Achilles tendon is a thick, tough piece of connective tissue between the calf muscles and the heel bone. It can rupture under extreme trauma (often sports injuries), in people who have weakness of the tendon, or due to treatment with antibiotics that are in the quinolone class, such as ciproﬂoxacin. When repairing the tendon, the surgeon uses sutures or wires to put it back together.

A residual wound defect is quite concerning to me. The foreign material in the tendon is at a high risk for infection. It’s possible that there is an infection, which led to a ﬁstula (an abnormal connection) between the tendon.

I deﬁnitely recommend going back to see the surgeon. They may want to do further testing (possibly imaging) to see if there is any evidence of an infection in the repaired tendon.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 63-year-old man in generally good health. Recently, we moved into a new home with a pool. When I ﬂoated on my back, I noticed a 6-by-2-inch bulge from my breastbone to my navel. I contacted my doctor, who said it was rectus diastasis.

I researched online, and there doesn’t appear to be anything that can be done to correct it. Apparently, it doesn’t pose a serious problem. Am I correct that I should just live with it? -- G.B.

ANSWER: Correct. The left and right halves of your abdominus rectus muscle (your “abs”) are normally connected in the middle by tough ﬁbrous tissue. Instead of them being held tightly together, they can be separated by a centimeter or so (called congenital rectus diastasis) in some people. Sometimes, the muscles can also separate during adulthood when people’s abdomens start to get larger, whether it’s through pregnancy, weight gain or other reasons. The area can bulge out with increased abdominal pressure. Nothing needs to be done, and although there are elective cosmetic surgeries to correct it, I’ve never had a patient want one. Most of the time, I make the diagnosis when I’m doing an abdominal exam, and the patient isn’t even aware that they have it. (Or they think that everyone has it.)

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

Why Is My Cat Scratching So Much?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: my long-haired cat, Charlie, is scratching many times per day. He also is shedding more than usual -- mostly undercoat, rather than hair. What’s going on? I can’t see any evidence of ﬂeas on his coat or skin. -- Dan in Colorado Springs

DEAR ZACK: thing we think ofwhen a cat starts scratching incessantly, but other conditions could be causing skin irritation. And it may be hard to see lesions or hot spots, especially in longhaired cats. Charlie’s undercoat is coming out because he’s really scratching those spots. e best thing to do is take Charlie to the veterinarian. Some itching issues have an external cause and can be eased pretty quickly. But some chronic conditions and diseases have itching as one symptom, and only your vet can diagnose these.

Make sure to tell the veterinarian where exactly Charlie is scratching the most. e vet, with an assistant holding Charlie still, will check these areas more closely for broken skin, lesions, rash and evidence of ﬂeas. ey’ll also take skin scrapings and fur samples to see if mites are to blame or if there’s a bacterial or yeast infection. Blood samples should be taken to test for underlying medical conditions and/or speciﬁc allergies. ey may send you home with specimen kits to collect urine and poop and bring them in for analysis, too.

e vet will advise you on whether to use a prescription or over-the-counter medication to ease Charlie’s itching. When the tests come back (some may be same-day, others may need to go to a lab), they’ll know the best treatment path to take.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEXT EYE EXAM

Pupildilation: The eye doctor will administer eye drops that dilate the pupils, which enables a better view of the retina, optic nerve, cornea, and surrounding blood vessels during an ophthalmoscopy.

The pupil can only educate himself. Teachers are the custodians of apparatus upon which he himself must turn and twist to acquire the excellencies that distinguish the better from the poorer of God’svessels.

Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)

DID YOU KNOW?

A cataract is a clouding of the naturally transparent lens of the eye that can occur as one ages. Natural proteins in the lens clump together and can cloud the eye. The National Eye Institute says most cataracts develop with age, as more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to remove them. But cataracts can occur for other reasons, such as after an eye injury or after surgery for another vision problem.The American Academy of Opthalmology says cataracts can make it seem like a person is looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield. Everything is hazy, blurry or less colorful. Additional vision changes associated with cataracts include extra light sensitivity; seeing bright colors as faded or yellowed; seeing double or a ghosted image; and difﬁculty seeing at night. Using brighter lights at home or getting a new eyeglasses prescription can help manage cataracts in their early stages. An eye doctor may suggest surgery if cataracts are getting in the way of daily activities. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a new, artiﬁcial lens.

TIPS TO DINING OUT AS A FAMILY

Bring cash along: If one person in the family is covering the tab, then payment method may not matter. However, if a few different people are contributing to the bill, it may be easiest to have everyone bring cash so that the money can be divided easily.However, money sharing apps like Zelle, Paypal or Venmo may enable those who do not want to use cash to simply send funds to another person so that this individual will pay the bill.

Here’s A Tip

By JoAnn Derson

* Medication labels can fade, so when you get yours, put a piece of clear tape over the instructions. is way, you’ll always be able to read the instructions.

* “During the holidays (the height of baking season for me), I keep a large plastic saltshaker filled with flour and a bit of dry rice. e rice helps the flour to shake out without getting clumped up, and I use it to dust cake pans, rolling pins, kneading boards, etc.” -- W.F. in Canada

NOTABLE ZOO IN NORTH AMERICA

Smithsonian National Zoo - Parents will love Smithsonian National Zoo for any number of reasons, perhaps none more than the free admission. More than 400 species of animals are represented at the Smithsonian National Zoo, which is located in the heart of the Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. Families who want to get a glimpse of what they’ll get to see before visiting the zoo can access its animal webcams, which are live 24/7, at nationalzoo.si.edu.

* “One of the household cleaners I prefer comes in a spray bottle, and it’s on the expensive side. I make sure to get all of the liquid out by adding some regular glass marbles to the bottle. It displaces the liquid up, ensuring it ﬁnds the bottom of the sprayer’s suction tube.” -- T.H. in Mississippi

BRIGHTER

[Local Road]

Fall in Upstate New York

We just moved to [local town] and live on [local road]. At one end of the road the speed limit is 45 and at the other end it is 30. No other speed limit is posted. Cars go by our house 55 +++. We have farm tractors/joggers/bikers/horses going by all day. It should be 45 all the way til the village line. I emailed the town highway about speed limits about 3 months ago. Maybe they are way to busy to read it. Also there are many deer in the area

There is nothing quite like fall in upstate New York. We recently had visitors from out of state and they could not get over the beautiful foliage all around the area. Whether it’s the Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park or just 75 degree sunny days in mid October, sometimes we take our surroundings for granted and it takes visitors to remind us just how lucky we are.

Freedom on display

Driving down local streets and seeing neighbors displaying their choice of political sign demonstrates what a great country we live in. We can voice our opinions and coexist with a neighbor who may have differing views. I’m thankful for a democracy that encourages open dialogue, mutual respect, and allows diversity of opinions.

machines

I recently spent a couple of days at [local casino] and was shocked and appalled that almost all the slot machines had racist imagery, speciﬁcally seeming to be aimed at Asian cultures. They feature caricatures of Japanese women and other offensive stereotypes like dragons. I was wondering if there would be interest locally in helping eradicate these awful slot machines. I love to gamble and this just puts a damper on the whole thing.

THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE Inspires exercise: People may be more inclined to be physically active while outdoors. Hiking, cycling, swimming, and even strolls in the park all make the outdoors more fun. Exercise promotes heart health and helps people maintain a healthy weight.
