Letter Six reasons to consider a change in your Medicare plan The time is almost here. Each year, the Medicare open enrollment period, just 54 days (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 this year,) gives all Medicare beneficiaries the opportunity to change their Medicare plans for the coming year to better match their needs and potentially save on health care costs. If your Medicare coverage has worked well during the current year, you probably don’t need to make any changes. But there are a few reasons why this annual enrollment season should be something you pay attention to. Primarily, you may find that your Medicare plan may have changed what they cover, or your own needs may have changed, or both. If you continue with the same plan next year, you could end up holding the proverbial bag. Here are six reasons why you should review your Medicare plans during the annual open enrollment season: 1. Your health situation has changed. Perhaps you have developed a health condition in the previous 12 months that requires a new prescription drug or ongoing visits to a specialist. 2. Your health care provider situation has changed. Physicians may retire or relocate, and medical facilities may change their terms. 3. Your coverage changes. Plans can alter the drugs, procedures and conditions they cover. For example, your prescription drug Part D plan may no longer cover the prescription drugs you need to purchase in the coming year, or put restrictions on them. 4. Your plan premiums, co-pays or deductibles often change year to year, so examine the prices you have been paying and what you can expect to pay in the coming year. 5. You have moved or are planning to move. It’s important to consider your
Medicare plans when moving because you may leave your plan’s service area. 6. Your current plan may no longer be available. In these instances, beneficiaries must select a new plan, or they may default to another plan. Look for your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) and Evidence of Coverage (EOC) from their current Medicare Advantage and Part D providers. Take time to review your current health care needs, and then compare this to the plan’s coverage for the coming year. Inside this issue of Forever Young you’ll find a feature with tips on shedding pounds after 50. I know it’s easier said than done, but there are some simple dietary changes and exercise commitments that can help take off those extra pounds and keep them off. Also, we’ve got some tips on how to keep your marriage
going strong. As always, we’ve got a great local recipe as well as a comprehensive calendar of events and listing of volunteer opportunities.

Sue Church Grant sees more than most people By Jenny White Carolina Charm editor
Sue Church Grant sees more than most people. She doesn’t just see a branch in a large tree, blowing in the breeze. She also sees the shadows the branch makes on the grass. The patterns the leaves make against the blue sky as they rustle. And the way the sun shines through the holes in the canopy. As an artist, her vision is razor sharp. The images Grant sees around her, make their way to her canvas, via her paintbrushes. This is quite remarkable, given she has about half the vision capacity of the average person. Diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease in her twenties, Grant, 57, has been dealing with her loss of vision for many years. As a busy medical research scientist, then local pediatrician, wife and mom, and now as an artist, Grant doesn’t spend much time dwelling on her vision issues. “I never let it define who I am,” said Grant of her health status. Grant took up painting with watercolors in her 20s. She has been picking up and putting down brushes in between work at her medical practice and being a wife and mom for more than 30 years. In 2011, knowing she had limited time with her vision, Grant decided to leave her practice and devote herself full-time to her painting. Today, Sue Church Grant is a painter. Painting after painting emerges in her studio, converted from a long-ago playroom
for her kids. A talented artist with signature status in the N.C. Watercolor Society, her work has been in juried art shows, as well as regularly featured in galleries regionally and nationally. Grant said her move from a medical career to a creative career, came a little sooner than some would consider “retirement” age, but like many who retire from one career to start a second, she is adamant she looks at it as a job. “A job I love – but a job. I am driven to succeed at it and learn and improve, just as I was as a doctor,” said Grant. Grant advises anyone looking to switch careers and focus on a creative passion to plan it out, just as if you were changing to a “regular” 9 to 5 job. “To be successful, you have to commit to painting, or whatever it is you want to do, eight hours a day. You have to be looking for classes and workshops to stretch your skills and learn new techniques. And how to make some money at it,” said Grant. Grant said she made the decision to move to full-time painting “at some point” when she was in her 40s. “I knew I was going to do it, eventually. I started upgrading all my equipment and starting getting serious about taking classes and workshops to improve my technique,” said Grant. She planned her jump from medicine to art over the course of about 10 years, and even then, she said it was somewhat scary. “You build up in your mind, what this new phase of your life is going to be, and of course it doesn’t go exactly as you plan. For me, being organized about it, and planning it out, helped make it

Glaucoma, a common but treatable disease any people expect some M moderate loss of visual acuity as they age. Though a
people can go a lifetime with 20/20 vision, many do need to get prescription eyeglasses as they age or get stronger prescriptions if they already wear glasses. Glaucoma is one of the more common vision issues everyone faces as they age. Though anyone, including newborn babies, can get glaucoma, older people are at a greater risk. That’s important for men and women to know, as the Glaucoma Research Foundation notes that glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. Because it is so prevalent, glaucoma is something men and women should familiarize themselves with so they’re more equipped to recognize its symptoms and seek treatment, which is highly effective, as soon as possible. What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is not a single disease but the name used to refer to a group of eye diseases
that damage the optic nerve. Located in the back of the eye, the optic nerve is responsible for carrying information from the eye to the brain. How does it develop? One of the first things to happen when a person gets glaucoma is the loss of peripheral vision. This is enough to motivate many people to visit their eye doctor, who will then develop a course of treatment to restore vision. Those who experience a loss of peripheral vision but do not seek treatment may notice their overall vision is worsening. Are they all the same? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases, and not all glaucomas are the same. There are three types of glaucomas, and each has its own set of symptoms. ■ Open-angle glaucoma: The most common form of glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma occurs when the optic nerve is gradually damaged. Eyesight will be slowly lost, and one eye may be more affected.
■ Closed-angle glaucoma: When a person has closedangle glaucoma, which is somewhat rare, the iris and the lens block the movement of fluid between the chambers of the eye, causing pressure to build up as the iris presses on the eye’s drainage system. ■ Congenital glaucoma: Congenital glaucoma is rare and most often affects infants at birth. Children and young adults can also get congenital glaucoma, though such instances are also rare. What are the symptoms of glaucoma? The symptoms of glaucoma vary depending on the type. Vision loss is the only noticeable symptom of open-angle glaucoma, and that vision loss is likely to affect peripheral vision, which may not be noticeable until it’s severe because the healthy eye will make up for the loss. Closed-angle glaucoma may cause mild symptoms or no symptoms. When symptoms
do appear, they tend to do so in short periods that occur in the evening and disappear by morning. In some instances, symptoms will require immediate medical attention. These symptoms include sudden and severe blurring; severe pain, either in the eye itself or the surrounding areas; redness of the eye; nausea and vomiting; and possibly colored halos around lights. Symptoms of congenital glaucoma may be present at birth or develop as a child becomes a toddler. These symptoms may include watery eyes, sensitivity to light, an eye or eyes that appear cloudy and eyes that appear larger than normal because the eyeballs have enlarged due to pressure. A child may also be experiencing congenital glaucoma if he or she is frequently rubbing his or her eyes or squinting or keeping his or her eyes closed much of the time.

Shedding pounds after 50 Losing some weight is a goal for many people regardless of age. While youngsters and young adults might be able to get away with a few extra pounds without suffering any significant consequences, older adults carrying some extra weight might be putting their overall health at considerable risk. Shedding weight after the age of 50 is not always easy. As a person ages, muscle mass tends to dwindle while body fat has a tendency to increase. Since fat burns fewer calories than muscle, weight gain as a person ages is bound to happen. But that doesn’t mean such weight gain is inevitable. In fact, men and women willing to make certain changes with regard to diet and exercise can shed pounds after 50 while preventing future weight gain. The Right Diet Men and women need fewer calories as they age. For example, men and women in their 40s may need as many as 200 calories more per day than they will when they reach their 50s.
Counting calories might seem difficult, so men and women in their 50s and older who don’t think they can count calories can try to eat more low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Consuming fewer calories often requires changing dietary habits, not only with regard to what you’re eating but also how you’re eating and even how you shop for food. Men and women used Muscle-strengthening activities, including yoga, can help men and to dining out for lunch every women over 50 lose weight and keep the weight off. day can start bringing their own lunches so they can gain begin a new exercise regileast 2 hours and 30 minutes greater control of their daily men.

Keeping marriage going strong into your golden years The trend of long-married couples calling it quits has been growing. However, there are some steps couples can take to keep their relationships going strong. According to the AARP, divorces among people over the age of 50 have doubled since 1990. According to Susan Brown, codirector of the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University, one out of three Boomers will face their golden years unmarried. There are a number of reasons why divorce rates have skyrocketed among the over-50 set. Understanding just why these divorces are taking place and taking proactive steps to alleviate some of the divorce triggers can be a recipe for a happy marriage that continues throughout a couple’s golden years. Increase accountability Ours is a transient society where families no longer bat
an eyelash over moving great distances away from other family members. As a result, Boomers may feel like they are not connected to children or grandchildren. Keeping families close and remaining in frequent contact can increase accountability and reduce the propensity for divorce. Get things out in the open A major reason for a failed marriage is years of avoiding significant issues rather than addressing problems. Couples should make time to talk to each other about anything that might be bothering them rather than letting too many things slide. If these conversations turn into shouting matches, there is always the option of bringing in a third party to serve as a mediator. Spend time apart After retirement, couples may find themselves spending hours upon hours in each other’s company. While togetherness can be beneficial, too
much time spent together may lead to feelings of suffocation. Individuals can remedy this by doing more things on their own, whether spending time apart with friends or engaging in hobby time without your spouse. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Brief periods of separation can make the time married couples do spend together feel more meaningful. Recommit to your vows After 30 or more years, the vows you shared on your wedding may be a distant memory. Some people may have different views on the permanence of vows, putting personal happiness ahead of the happiness of the couple. Take stock of what you promised one another on your wedding day and stick to those words. Become a comedian Laughter has a way of dissolving a tenuous situation. Focus energy on laughing at mistakes instead of pointing
blame. Couples can make fun of themselves and resolve to not take things too seriously. Act like you’re dating Couples often become complacent after many years of marriage. They may forget about the little details that made the relationship fun in the early years. The personal notes and cards and other surprises may fall by the wayside after being together for some time. Make an effort to go on dates, write love notes and think of what was appreciated by your partners when you were in the dating stage. Practice selflessness Sometimes all that is needed to rekindle a relationship is a selfless act that shows how much you care for your partner. Couples who are on the fence with regard to divorce can make an effort to improve the relationship rather than simply see divorce as the best option. -Metro

Get to know cataract risk factors A
s men and women age, they can experience certain physical changes and health challenges. Vision impairment is one condition that many associate with aging, and cataracts are a primary concern for those of middle-age and older. Today, more than 22 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts. According to the National Eye Institute, by age 80, more than half of all Americans will either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. Cataract is clouding of the eye’s lens that blocks or changes the passage of light into the eye. Normally the lens is clear, which allows light to pass through to the back of the eye, so that a person can see well-defined images. If a cataract forms and the lens becomes covered in an opaque film, light cannot pass through easily. The result will be fuzzy vision, almost like looking through a fogged-up window. If cataracts are not treated, an individual may eventually lose most of his or her vision. One or both eyes can be affected by cataracts. In the case of both eyes being compromised, one eye is usually worse than the other. The primary risk factor for developing cataracts is age. The older a person is, the greater their risk. However, there are several other risk factors as well.
O Intense heat or longterm exposure to UV rays from the sun O Certain diseases, such as diabetes O Obesity O High blood pressure O Inflammation in the eye O Hereditary influences O Long-term steroid use O Eye injuries O Other eye diseases O Smoking Prevent Blindness America provides free information to the public on everything from cataract basics to tips on what to expect from cataract surgery.

In the United States, cataract surgery has a 95 percent success rate, and patients often have 20/20 or 20/40 vision postsurgery.

Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Cake By Linda Lyter ContriButing Writer
The change in seasons means different things to each of us. When I was growing up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, October meant that vacation was over and school was in full swing, the leaves were changing from deep green to a gorgeous display of colors and that it was time to go to one
of the many apple orchards which dotted the countryside. We carried the apples home in peck-sized wooden baskets and we knew that we would soon have homemade applesauce, apple butter and a variety of other delicious goodies. Of course, the trip wasn’t complete without bringing home a couple gallons of fresh-pressed apple cider.
This recipe was one of mom’s favorites. She used a combination of Granny Smith and MacIntosh apples for their tart flavor and firm texture, and I do the same. Of course you can substitute your favorite baking apple. I can still see her mixing the cake batter with an old-fashioned hand – crank mixer.

FALL ADVENTURE GUIDE
Travel ideas for active seniors
Those who have said goodbye to the work-a-day grind now have many hours to settle down and relax. People who have continually put off vacations in lieu of work responsibilities may now have all the time they need to explore the world. Traveling for seniors can be rewarding and relaxing. Those with a substantial retirement nest egg have numerous destinations at their disposal. Mature vacationers travel more frequently and stay longer than any other age group. Travel ranks among the top leisure activities for men and women over 50, according to the Web site Suddenly Senior. Seniors can find several travel advantages at their disposal. Also, thanks to special senior discounts, travel may be even more affordable than first expected. While certain destinations are not always practical for certain age brackets, there are many places to which seniors can visit comfortably and enjoy a wealth of memories. * Theme parks: Although theme parks may seem carved out entirely for the adventureseekers, there are many other more placid activities that would appeal to those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground rather than looping through the air on a rocket-propelled coaster. With animal preserves, water parks, fine dining, and a bevy of hotels either in the park or directly on the outskirts, theme parks provide many activities for older travelers. Although theme parks require a lot of walking, many provide wheelchairs or motorized scooters for those who need to get off of their feet. They also make a great option for seniors who will be traveling with the entire family, including children. * Beach resorts: Provided flying is medically safe, a beachside vacation can be the ideal trip for seniors looking for the utmost in relaxation. For those who have passports, the possibilities are endless. Those who prefer to remain on relatively domestic soil can retreat to Puerto Rico, south Florida, the California coast, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. * Cruising: Cruising is a preferred vacation choice for the 50+ set because it offers the convenience of an all-inclusive package and transportation all in one. With the myriad activities offered on board, cruises are a versatile vacation option for seniors. Also, there is no need to worry about traveling far for meals and other entertainment options, as everything is self-contained on the cruise ship. For more active seniors who enjoy the daily getaway, excursions in ports of call can provide the variety desired. * Guided tours: Seniors who want to experience a piece of history can sign up for tour packages backed by reputable companies. The tours may involve train or bus travel, and various attractions will be visited. At the end of the tour, individuals can choose to extend the vacation by checking into a hotel nearby. * RV trips: Another self-contained vacation that is entirely up to the people traveling is vacationing by recreational vehicle. Seniors can customize their routes depending on which areas they want to see. Companies like Cruise America RV enable people to rent an RV so they needn’t worry about the expense of buying one outright. However, should RV traveling become addictive, there always is the option of buying a camper later on. Setting an itinerary and then establishing the pace enables travelers to tour the country or cross the border as desired. From beaches to national parks, many areas offer RV hook-up areas and amenities. * Exotic tour: Seniors who were never able to afford or spare the time for an extensive vacation may now want to visit those exotic locations that have beckoned for years. Now could be the time to book a ticket for Europe and visit all of the cities that have made the history books. Those looking for even more adventure can travel to the South Pacific and explore tropical islands. Others may want to go “down under” and experience the rugged Outback or the culture of Australian city centers. With a bevy of free time and fewer restrictions holding them back, seniors could be ready for the next great travel adventure. LP133934

Physical therapy a vital part of treatment and recovery Illnesses of the musculoskeletal system can result in temporary loss of mobility. But physical therapy can help to prevent those temporary problems from becoming permanent. The American Physical Therapy Association says physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have conditions that limit their abilities to perform functional activities. Limitations in mobility may result from injury or illness or be present at birth. Many physical therapists develop a plan to reduce pain and restore function through various treatment techniques with the ultimate goal of restoring a patient’s functional independence. Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who must receive a degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking national licensure exams that enable them to open a practice or work in a facility. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 30 percent growth in physical therapy careers through 2018. Unemployment rates for physical therapists are very low, and they are in high demand. Physical therapists employ various physical modalities to help with certain conditions. For example, a patient may be asked to perform various range-of-motion exercises to restore function to an injured
part of the body. Physical therapists also may use heat, cold and electrical impulses to reduce pain and stimulate muscle function. While athletes frequently rely on physical therapy as they recover from injuries, others can benefit from physical therapy as well. For example, physical therapy may work in conjunction with other treatments for cardiopulmonary disease. The cardiopulmonary system delivers oxygen to active tissues, which plays an important part in movement. When the cardiopulmonary system is compromised, muscles and other tissues may not function as they should, and certain exercises and mobility therapies may be needed. Physical therapists also aid in improving physical ailments related to neurological diseases, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Children who have learning disabilities related to a neurological or physical condition may benefit from certain forms of physical therapy. For example, vision problems can compromise academic performance, so physical therapy that aims to enhance visual tracking skills and strengthen the eyes in conjunction with corrective lenses may help youngsters, or even adult
students, perform better in the classroom. Very often physical therapy will be recommended by a general doctor or an orthopedic surgeon as part of recovery from a surgery or a condition. The therapist may work in conjunction with another doctor to provide a program that helps foster a faster and safe recovery. Physical therapy tends to begin gradually and resistance is slowly built up as the body strengthens. The length of physical therapy will depend on the condition and the recommendation of the therapist and doctors overseeing the treatments.- Metro
