Millions suddenly have high blood pressure SPOKANE — Tens of millions of Americans didn’t have high blood pressure when they went to bed on Nov. 12 — but they did on Nov. 13.

That’s when the nation’s leading heart health organizations issued new guidelines lowering the diagnostic threshold for determining high blood pressure. “It’s a dramatic shift for patients and physicians alike. What was considered ‘normal’ is no longer normal,� said internal medicine physician Dawn DeWitt, associate dean of clinical education at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.

46 percent have high blood pressure Under the new guidelines, 130/80 is the new high, compared to the previous measurement of 140/90.

This sharply increases the percentage of adults with high blood pressure from 32 percent to 46 percent, according to figures by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology, which spearheaded the revision based on recent studies. “The logic behind the new guidelines is that the sooner high blood pressure is diagnosed and treated, the greater the chance of preventing problems,� said DeWitt, adding that the condition increases the risk of life-threatening heart attacks, strokes and kidney damage.

Even so, among the 30 million Americans snared by the redefinition of high blood pressure, “I think M O N D A Y, J A N U A R Y 1 , 2 0 1 8

Dr. Dawn DeWitt the news will come as a big surprise to people who had previously been told that their blood pressure was fine. It’s bound to produce some confusion and anxiety,� she explained.

Diet and exercise vs. medication How to keep the new blood pressure guidelines from raising yours?

Keep in mind that the majority of those in the newly diagnosed range will be advised to make lifestyle changes, including a healthier diet, weight loss, exercise and limiting alcohol. Only a small fraction of those who fall into the Stage 1 category

should require medication, DeWitt said.

Also, try not to get too focused on numbers, she advised, because when it comes to assessing blood pressure, one size doesn’t fit all. For example, a patient with a reading of 150/90 in otherwise good health is not the same as a patient with the same reading who has diabetes or kidney disease.

Finally, work with your health care practitioner to come up with treatment options and goals based on your particular situation, said DeWitt. Even patients with complicating risk factors have individual differences that can effectively shape treatment plans. “My hope is that these new guidelines won’t simply result in a lot more people being labeled with a medical condition, but instead will provide them an opportunity to work with their doctors on how to be healthy in the long run.� ——— Weiford is senior news writer at WSU News.

As

I drive away, I need to look up the name of the next patient again. I guess that’s why I have begun calling everyone Sweet Pea, Cupcake, Brown Eyes and such. When one does hospice work, the turnover is so great it is hard remembering names. Then, too, one has to protect the privacy and confidential nature of the clients. It’s just as well to forget the names and addresses. It’s easy to remember cases though — at least for me.

The home health aide spends by far the most time of all the medical personnel with the patient, attending to their most basic and personal needs. They can feel when you love them, and they often open up their hearts, pouring out their most terrible fears and intimate details of their lives. This brings them relief, I think, but I find myself going home heavy-laden at times.

I begin driving up higher into the Sierra Mountains.

This will be only my second visit with Harry. The first was memorable though.

What can I say? I fell in love again. Some patients you just love to pieces, and Harry is one of those.

It was just two days ago that I made my first visit. My instructions were to give him a shower and take care of whatever else he might need.

“Do not ring the bell, as he’s alone during the day when his son works,” my supervision said. “Just walk in and follow a long hallway to the right.

He’ll be waiting with his door open. I know he’ll be glad to see you. He’ll love the company.” Then she added, “Oh, he’s end stages — cancer.”

I expected to see him in bed, but instead he was sitting in a plush, overstuffed chair. Wearing a beautiful robe and slippers, hair neatly combed, he was hardly the picture of a dying man. Directly above his left shoulder was a huge oil painting of himself, almost larger than

M O N D A Y, J A N U A R Y 1 , 2 0 1 8

eager for me to do.

I asked him to tell me about himself and what he had done for a living. This was something to talk about, and he was happy to comply. For the next 15 minutes, we chatted away.

As I sat next to him, I began to see he needed a haircut and that there was a huge amount of hair growing out of his ears. He could stand a shave, too. The room was somewhat dark, and I hadn’t noticed these things earlier.

The form I carry to each client is filled with things to do at each stop. I am supposed to chart every single JONUTZ worked for decades thing so Medicare or other as a certified nurse assistant and agencies will pick up the tab.

ear hair trimmed. As I had shortened the hair on his head, the ears began to look like two big tarantulas.

“Oh, would you,” he asked.

“I didn’t think anyone would do a dirty job like that.”

Having done the hair and ears, Harry let me give him a quick shave, and I brushed his teeth as well. All the work here had been from the neck up, but it was much needed and gratefully accepted. I felt good about it.

All this time, we had been having fun together.

I consider my day a bust if I haven’t had fun with my patients. I believe that hugs and kisses, laugh therapy, massage therapy and overall good patient care should be incorporated into the total health care plan.

Four years later, someone invented what he called “touch therapy” and would open a hospital with one whole floor dedicated to the principle that human touch and massage would speed up recover. It has been an overwhelming success.

As I was leaving, Harry said, “Next time you could give me a shower.”

Now, as I drive up the foothills for my second visit, my beeper sounds.

This always causes a sort of sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, as it usually means someone on my route has died. My instructions are to get to a phone right away and call the office.

Just as I feared, I had lost someone. Dear, sweet, handsome Harry will not be needing any more visits.

I find myself crying quite unexpectedly as I turn my car around and head for my next visit.

“Why do I care so much?” I ask myself. Then I remember, “Whom we serve, we love.”

To be continued in the March edition of Golden Times …

Good luck keeping up with these Joneses T he two 20-yearolds had met on a blind date set up by mutual friends.

It warm that day, and they’d gone swimming at Spalding. Now it was winter, and the two were exchanging solemn vows at her parents’ home in Portland, Ore. Many more seasons — in every sense of the word — have come and gone since that day, when they promised to stick together for better or worse ’til death does them part. Through it all, Ronald and Mildred “Millie” Jones remained devoted. Next week, the two, now 95, will mark 75 years since that Jan. 10, 1943, ceremony.

The newlyweds honeymooned in Headquarters in Clearwater County, where Ronald worked for the Camas Prairie Railroad Company.

“There was 6 feet, 1 inches of snow, and it was 16 below at Headquarters when we got married,” he said.

Nine months later, with war on the horizon, Ronald enlisted in the military.

“I went with him most of the time because I had a railroad pass,” Millie said. “I just got on the train. He was in Kentucky, and I was with him all the time.

Then, he went overseas.”

He served in the 4th Armored Division in Europe during World War II, traveling to Czechoslovakia, Austria and Rome.

After the war, the couple lived in Grangeville for a few years, then moved to Lewiston, where they still live.

“I worked all my life on the railroad and ended up as the agent here,” Ronald said, retiring in 1981.

Ronald served as mayor of Lewis-

Clesta “Dede” Miller, 87

Sing often

Continued from Page 11 cafeteria to cover expenses. He was waiting tables when a â&#x20AC;&#x153;charming red-headed girlâ&#x20AC;? came in with her parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just fell for her instantly,â&#x20AC;? Cox said.

After that first encounter, Cox noticed her come in regularly to enjoy a sweet roll and a cup of coffee with a friend. Cox hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dated before then â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen too many boys his age get into trouble with girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let this one go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day I got up enough nerve to ask her for a date,â&#x20AC;? Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, praise the Lord, she accepted.â&#x20AC;?

She showed up for that first date in a kneelength chartreuse slim-line dress, and Cox â&#x20AC;&#x153;fell head over heels.â&#x20AC;? They dated, and she soon agreed to marry him. But Cox couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK until he had found a job and could support her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jobs were scarce as henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth those days,â&#x20AC;? Cox said.

It took 72 inquiry letters and 3,000 miles to find his job. With love pushing him ahead, he drove day and night to find work, pulling over any place he could find to sleep for the night. One morning he woke up to find he had camped out by a garbage dump.

Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s persistence paid off. He started work in the spring of 1940, and the couple married that August. They married without a ring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cox was still paying it off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife as their only witness. It was a humble beginning to a union that lasted 68 years and â&#x20AC;&#x153;produced a wonderful, loving familyâ&#x20AC;? of three children.

Every morning, rain or shine, Cox greets the new day with a song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh what a beautiful morning / Oh what a beautiful day.â&#x20AC;?

The same song that opens the musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oklahoma!â&#x20AC;? opens his day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a slight alteration that includes his faith in God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a wonderful feeling / Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings are flowing my way.â&#x20AC;?

Singing was something he developed during his years as a forest manager.

Cox would often drive to Headquarters, Pierce, Bovill or wherever logging crews were working that day. He left early in hopes he would catch them at breakfast before they headed into the forest. After an early morning and full day of work, Cox would still have to drive home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sing to myself to stay awake,â&#x20AC;? Cox explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I developed a habit of singing.â&#x20AC;?

At first, he would sing whatever he could think of; but over time singing became an instinct. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look for a Silver Liningâ&#x20AC;? is what he sings when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing problems or feeling sorry for himself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look for the silver lining / Whenever a cloud appears in the blue / â&#x20AC;Ś / A heart full of joy and gladness / Will always banish sadness and strife / So always look for the silver lining / And try to find the sunny side of life.â&#x20AC;?

Cox belts out melodies with strength and familiarity, whether popular songs or hymns, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond the Sunset,â&#x20AC;? which help him keep a â&#x20AC;&#x153;proper attitude towards spirituality.â&#x20AC;?

Royce Cox started his career with Potlatch in Headquarters.

Tribune/Steve Hanks

Persist through challenges

Problems are a given in life.

Pushing through can be rewarding.

During Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career as forest manager, a bark beetle infestation decimated the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees, threatening forest viability and Potlatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic future. The state of Idaho, National Forest Service and private land owners worked together to find a solution. Finally, someone introduced them to an attractant that had helped control beetles in Europe.

An artificial pheromone was developed, and a project was launched to figure out the best method of application in order to draw beetles to one area of the forest, leaving remaining trees undisturbed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fascinating study,â&#x20AC;?

Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked on that for 10 years.â&#x20AC;?

The effort was worthwhile. Prior to using attractants, more than 80

percent of the trees were being lost to bark beetles, he said. By the end of the decade, losses were cut to just 4 percent, saving millions of board feet of lumber and many jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was valuable work,â&#x20AC;? Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It resulted in good things happening.â&#x20AC;?

Maintain an â&#x20AC;&#x153;attitude of gratitudeâ&#x20AC;?

Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversation oozes humor and positivity. And why not? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most fortunate people in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a slogan: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maintain an attitude of gratitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to practice that.â&#x20AC;?

Not only have myriad good things happened to him, Cox says, but to listen to him, you would think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been surrounded by the most helpful, kind, hard-working individuals. There was David Weyerhaeuser who directed him back

to Potlatch, where he landed his dream job, and the Weyerhaeuser family in general, which pioneered responsible forest management. A Swedish co-worker is remembered less for his a rough manner and an accent that made communication difficult than for his great skill as a woodsman. Cox heaps praise on his Royal Plaza friends and the staff, specifically mentioning the activity director, caregivers, his physical therapist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all kind and loving,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They take care of my every need.â&#x20AC;?

He also has many friends at the Orchards United Methodist Church, which he helped build soon after moving down to Lewiston from Headquarters. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in spiritual fellowship there for 65 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a good social life,â&#x20AC;?

Cox said.

Socialize

In Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings about his life, he shared that he has asked God to keep him alive until he â&#x20AC;&#x153;finishes his projects.â&#x20AC;?

Woodsman

Keep healthy habits Cox has done his part to keep his body working well. Much of his childhood was spent outside moving, whether working or playing. After his career took him to a desk job, Cox still maintained â&#x20AC;&#x153;top physical conditionâ&#x20AC;? by spending time in the woods. Now that his forays into the forest are kept to a minimum and his knees no longer allow him to walk easily, he does physical therapy and daily calisthenics.

A healthy diet also is a priority. He eats plenty of vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and proteins.

He avoids processed meat and keeps salt and sugar to a minimum. He enjoys a good doughnut, but he scrapes the frosting off.

Cox also avoided smoking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he got enough of that during his time fighting fires â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and drinks only moderately in social settings.

Remain Young at Heart Cox doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act old. His body feels the effects of age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his knee has worn out, his hearing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good and and his back is no longer straight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the rest of him doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to know any better. He lives like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got plenty more life to live.

A friend of his, Peggy Wunderlich, described him years ago as â&#x20AC;&#x153;young at heart.â&#x20AC;? They became words to embody and continue to live by. When he searched the phrase on the Internet, Cox discovered a song and added it to those he sings regularly.

Physical Therapy vs Opioids: When to choose Physical Therapy for Pain Management According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sales of prescription opioids have quadrupled in the United States, Larry Ohman, even though “there has not been an overall change in the amount of pain that Americans report.”

PT, OCS In response to a growing opioid epidemic, the CDC released opioid prescription guidelines that prescription opioids are appropriate in certain cases, including cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-the-line care, and also in certain acute care situation, if properly dosed.

But for other pain management, the CDC recommends nonopioid approaches including Physical Therapy.

Patients should choose physical therapy when… …The risk of opioid use outweigh the rewards. Potential side effects of opioids include depression, overdose, and addiction, plus withdrawl symptoms when stopping opioid use. Because of these risks, “experts agreed that opioids should not be considered firstline or routine therapy for chronic pain,” the CDC guidelines state. Even in cases when evidence on the long-term benefits of non-opioid therapies is limited, “risks are much lower” with non-opioid treatment plans. …Patients want to do more than mask the pain. Opioids reduce the sensation of pain by interrupting pain signals to the brain. Physical therapists treat pain through movement while partnering with patients to improve or maintain their mobility and quality of life. ...Opioids are prescribed for pain. Even in situations when opioids are prescribed, the CDC recommends that patients should receive “the lowest effective dosage,” and opioids “should be combined” with nonopioid therapies, such as physical therapy. ...Pain lasts 90 days. At this point, the pain is considered “chronic,” and the risks for continued opioid use increase. An estimated 116 million Americans have chronic pain each year. The CDC guidelines note that nonopioid therapies are “preferred” for chronic pain and that “clinicians should consider opioid therapy only if expected benefits for both pain and function are anticipated to outweigh risks to the patient.”

Before you agree to a prescription for opioids, consult with a physical therapist to discuss options for nonopioid treatment. Physical therapists can play a valuable role in the patient education process, including setting expectations for recovery with or without opioids.
