Restless Leg Syndrome and Chronic Venous Disease Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that involves abnormal sensation and movement in the legs. People with RLS experience an unpleasant feeling or sensation in their legs when they lie down or when they are sitting still for an extended period of time. Most commonly this occurs when they are getting ready to go to sleep or when they are relaxing after a long day. Most people will feel a strong urge to move, and while moving sometimes makes the symptoms lessen, the need to constantly reposition and move makes rest and sleep challenging. Most people with RLS complain of not getting enough restful sleep. When you sleep poorly, your daily tasks become more difficult and work productivity is noticeably less efficient. Often times a clear cause for restless legs is not evident which is why it is important to see a doctor and get an accurate diagnosis and then help to manage your symptoms. While some people who seek treatment do not have any underlying problem, many patients who have varicose veins and RLS often describe improvement or resolution of RLS symptoms following treatment of their varicose veins. The main symptom of RLS is an irresistible urge to move because of uncomfortable and sometimes painful sensations deep within a part of your body. In the case of venous insufficiency, blood that has already delivered oxygen to the tissues of the legs is inefficiently removed from the legs and causes the muscles and nerves in the leg to begin to react to this. The body makes an effort to move the legs and make the muscles help pump blood back to the heart and lungs where it is meant to be. When the blood is pumped out of the legs the symptoms get better. Most patients will describe RLS symptoms that are worse after a physically active day.

I HAD NO IDEA I DIDN’T HAVE TO LIVE W

At first, symptoms may be mild and occur intermittently. However, symptoms often get worse with age. People over 50 often describe their symptoms related to this condition as occurring daily and can become a problem and cause a decline in quality of life. If you experience these symptoms, you need to be seen by a medical professional and have a comprehensive history and physical examination. If you have symptoms of restless legs, visible varicose veins, swollen legs or discolored skin on your lower legs, you should be evaluated for underlying chronic venous insufficiency. The professionals at Circulatory Centers are well equipped to evaluate you and determine if an underlying treatable cause for your symptoms exists.

Restore the Health and Beauty of Your Legs Vein TReATMenTS There are many minimally-invasive options to treat your venous conditions—with a short recovery and quick return to everyday activities. A personalized plan of care will be determined to meet your individualized needs.

PReVenTiVe Vein CARe

BEFORE Self-care—such as exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, eating well, elevating your legs, wearing compression stockings and controlling other health conditions—can help prevent varicose veins or keep them from getting worse. However, if you are concerned about how your veins look and feel, you should know there are virtually AFTER pain-free treatments available. Walk in, walk out.

if you experience tired, achy, painful legs, you are not alone. Varicose veins affect over 20% of the United States adult population. Although usually thought to be no more than a cosmetic nuisance, varicose veins can be the source of more serious complications.

• • • • • SPiDeR VeinS & OTHeR VASCULAR SKin COnDiTiOnS The Excel V™ laser system by Cutera® safely and effectively treats a broad range of vascular skin conditions, from superficial blemishes and skin discoloration to large lesions and deep vascular scars. It provides fast, immediate results without injections or long-term side effects on conditions such as rosacea, spider veins in the legs and face, telangiectasia, cherry angioma, sun spots and port wine stains.

• • • • • WHAT iS Vein DiSeASe? Healthy veins have valves which open and close to assist the return of blood to the heart. Venous disease occurs if these valves become damaged, allowing the backward flow of blood in the legs. When blood cannot be properly returned through the vein, it can pool in the legs, leading to a feeling of heaviness and fatigue—causing varicose veins and other skin changes. While usually not life-threatening, venous disorders still affect your circulatory system and can lead to more serious complications, such as ulcers, blood clots and/or stroke if left untreated. Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but are usually fine and superficial. Spider veins are found closer to the skin’s surface and are often red or blue.

WHAT CAUSeS Vein DiSeASe? Most vein disease has a strong genetic link, however, the more time we spend sedentary or standing on our feet, the more we increase the likelihood that our veins will have difficulty returning the blood.

AVC provides exceptional health care using the latest technological advancements in vein care. Dr. David C. Faber, board-certified surgeon, and his expertly-trained and caring team of health professionals understands your condition, concerns and hopes for restored health and wellness.

The most common factors are: • genetics

• body weight

• age

• gender

• sedentary lifestyle

Women are about two times more likely to suffer from varicose veins than men. Pregnancy and hormonal changes can increase susceptibility to varicose veins. July August 2015

Long Term Care Insurance - The Basics By Jody M. Sharer, Investment Advisor and CCO of Nestlerode & Loy, Inc., an investment firm located in Centre County and serving the world

This is a joint federal-state initiative used to encourage more people to purchase LTC policies which in turn helps to keep the government coffers full. These are sometimes called “spend down” plans. They work like this: for each dollar you purchase in LTC coverage, there is an equal “asset disregard” for Medicaid eligibility. For example, if you purchase $150,000 of LTC coverage under the partnership program, you will be allowed to keep that $150,000 plus the allowable Medicaid assets. This may help to keep a spouse in your home should you need a skilled nursing facility. A benefit of this program is that those assets are protected at your death from Medicaid estate recovery.

What is Long Term Care insurance? Long Term Care insurance (LTC) assists you or your loved ones with the costs associated with Activities of Daily Living. ADLs are defined as those functions you perform in your daily life such as eating, bathing, and dressing. Some policies will cover costs associated with other everyday tasks such as taking medication, shopping and light housework. These services may be provided in your home or another facility. It is important to note that these are non-medical in nature.

Choosing a Long Term Care policy does not have to be a daunting experience. While setting other goals for your future, take the time to talk with your financial advisor. These professionals can guide you through the myriad of options for coverage. This additional step in planning for your golden years will help put your mind at ease.

According to longtermcare.gov, 70% of people 65 or older will use some form of LTC during their lifetime. Because women tend to outlive their spouses, we may have a period of time where we live alone in our later years. We may need someone to help with our care. By the age of 90, 69% of us will have some sort of disability requiring assistance with the Activities of Daily Living.

Nestlerode & Loy Investment Advisors offer brokerage and investment Women’stoJournal Julybusinesses Aug 2015and non-profits.

I am often asked, “What about Medicare?” Medicare covers only the medically necessary costs such as doctor visits, medication and hospital stays. You must also meet eligibility requirements to receive Medicare. Although Medicare will help cover some costs associated with home health care, skilled nursing or hospice care, it does not cover the costs of custodial care.

Will you be able to enjoy your retirement?

The costs associated with LTC can be staggering. In Pennsylvania in 2012 the average annual cost of a semi-private room in a nursing home was $94,619. It is projected that this cost could be as much as $264,650 in 2037. Make that a private room and the cost soars to $336,244. LTC is not a one-size-fits-all insurance policy. Long Term Care policies can cover a range of options from in-home care to adult day facilities to skilled nursing. The cost of a policy can vary greatly as well. By purchasing a policy as a younger, healthy individual we would expect to see lower premiums than if we were to wait an additional 10 years. I recommend clients look into the purchase of their LTC policy between the ages of 54-65. Another option is to plan to use other assets first to shorten your coverage period; 70% of new policies cover 3-5 years of care. Couples can purchase shared policies that allow a piggy back of care from one spouse to the other. Other types of policies include hybrid plans that combine life insurance with Long Term Care.

Q& A

What do I need to know about genetics and breast cancer? Should I get genetic testing? mutation. WHO in your family had breast or ovarian cancer and their AGE at diagnosis are important. Try to get histories for three generations before you. Having ovarian cancer, at any age, raises the question of a genetic mutation. Other conditions possibly linked with genetic mutations include cancers of the pancreas, thyroid, colon, bones and soft tissue as well as melanoma. The BRCA gene mutations are also more prevalent in people with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry

Is genetic testing for you? If you could find out your risk for breast or ovarian cancer by testing your genetic makeup, would you do it? Is genetic testing something every woman should have? Dr. Renee Quarterman of Susquehanna Health’s Breast Health Center answers common questions about genetic testing.

What role do genes play in breast cancer?

Knowing your family history helps you understand your risk for breast cancer. Every living being has a genetic code, a combination of their parents’ genes, which makes them unique. Mutations (changes) in certain genes can make it more likely for cells to become cancerous. Specific mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are linked to breast, ovarian and other types of cancer.

Should everyone be tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes?

No, not everyone needs to be tested. Your family medical history is a good indicator of whether you have the gene

At what age should a woman think about her genetic risk for breast cancer?

At age 18, when a person becomes a legal adult, is the earliest age to consider breast cancer risk. See your doctor to discuss your details including your ethnicity, whether you’ve had any cancers and your family history. If your doctor believes it’s indicated, the next step is to talk to a genetic counselor about testing—a simple mouth swab or blood test. Older women, who have survived ovarian or breast cancer, may consider having genetic testing to make other relatives and younger generations aware of whether or not a genetic mutation exists.

What if I have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation?

Finding the genetic mutation is very rare, but if it is present, there are ways to reduce your cancer risks. The priority is eliminating the risk for ovarian cancer because it doesn’t produce symptoms until it is very advanced. For women who are through childbearing, removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes is very effective—reducing your risks for ovarian cancer by 90 percent and for breast cancer by 50 percent. To reduce the risk of breast cancer, closely managed screenings, every six months, are very effective as is the use of certain medications. Preventive mastectomy reduces the risk by 95 percent.

If I test negative for the genes, or there’s no family history, do I even have to think about breast cancer?

Genetic mutations are responsible for just five percent of all breast cancer cases. There are other risk factors that can lead to the condition—age at menses, age at first childbirth, weight, and lifestyle are all factors. The majority of doctors in our nation agree that the best way for women, who do not have a family history, to detect breast cancer at its earliest stage is through annual mammograms beginning at age 40.

Someone recently was talking to Dr. Altmanshofer about TWJ and was saying that the magazine is very appealing and calming. He replied, “It is just a class act!” Colleen Small from the UPS store says she sees The Women’s Journal everywhere!

Children Need Your Help! Did you know that there is help for hungry kids in elementary schools in Altoona. The Mountain Lion BackPack Program is here to help those elementary kids who qualify for food subsidy programs, but on weekends, many kids go hungry because there are no programs to help.

So, St. James Lutheran Church is organizing a music camp for kids in 4th â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8th grades on Aug. 4, 5, and 6th from 6 to 8:30 at the church on 8th Avenue in Altoona. There will be a 7:30 pm Celebration Concert on Thursday, Aug. 6th to celebrate. Several community groups are also helping with the

concert. The proceeds from the concert will go to help The Mountain Lion BackPack program and is open to the public. Call 814 944-6835 for more details. Details on Mountain Lion BackPack Program from Organizer Heather Little: "We are an agency of Central PA Community Foundation. The program has no paid staff and has been working with the cooperation of the Altoona Area School District since 2011. They are a non-profit, 501(c) (3) corporation. Donate through the Central PA Community Foundation website at centralpagives.org. (Mtn. Lion BackPacks in drop down list). OR mail to CPCF at 1330 11th Avenue Altoona, PA 16601." Surveys from teachers and parents of the children in the program are reflecting positive changes in attendance in school, behavior and focus. Mountain Lion BackPacks has become the standard for development of programs in surrounding communities and has been directly involved in the establishment or development of several neighboring program. There are nearly 2,000 elementary students with this need in the Altoona area, and the goal is to eventually expand to all eight elementary schools in the district in order to reach the need.

Health & Wellness

Golfing Made Easier with Chiropractic!

It’s that time of year again! The sun is shining and everyone wants to be outside. Doesn’t it feel so good to be out in the fresh air again? Now that the weather is heating up, many people cannot wait to get outside and play some golf. It’s a sport that people of all ages enjoy, and you never know from one day to the next how you will make out. Although golfing is a fun game, many times players suffer from common injuries. The repetitive torque from swinging the clubs often causes a variety of pain. Listed below are four common golf injuries and how chiropractic can help get you back in the game. 1. Back Pain- This is the most common golfing injury. Swinging clubs in the same direction over and over again causes a lot of torque on the spine especially in the low back area. The repetitive motion can lead to disc injuries, muscle strains, and stress fractures. In our office, Drs. Kevin, Kelli, and Kerri can perform spinal manipulations to relieve pain and pressure from disc injuries. The doctors are also highly trained in whole food nutrition, which can help with ligament support and bone building processes needed after a stress fracture. 2. Golfer’s Elbow- This injury refers to medial or inside elbow pain. Pain in this area is often aggravated with gripping the clubs or during impact of hitting the ball. The doctors in our office are highly trained in applied kinesiology. This technique can help to reset muscles that have been injured around the joint. By fixing the muscles, pain and inflammation can be reduced. 3. Knee Pain- Knees are often affected with golfing due to the rotational forces. Keeping feet planted while swinging the clubs can irritate ligaments and muscles. Constant bending and squatting to gage the green or pick up golf balls can also affect golfers’ knees. Regular chiropractic care can help stabilize the muscles around the knee and ensure proper adjusting occurs to create proper

motion within the joint. At Hands in Health, the doctors may also use cold laser therapy, which can help decrease inflammation within the joint. 4. Shoulder Pain- Shoulder injuries are caused from repetitive swinging motions during golf. Drs. Kevin, Kelli, and Kerri can all adjust the shoulder joints to decrease pain. Kinesiotape can also be used to help rehab the shoulder while it heals. Kinesiotape is the colorful tape that many athletes use that acts as ice on the joint, but does not restrict motion. Since 21 muscles attach to the shoulder, many times muscles can become imbalanced. Proper strengthening and stretching exercises can be incorporated during proper rehabilitation. Golfing is an enjoyable sport. The game is growing in popularity among both men and women. Help your body to prevent injury and recover quickly with chiropractic care. At Hands in Health, our doctors work thoroughly to ensure proper healing. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment in one of our office locations, please call us. We are excited to help you feel well and get back in the game. The Greatest Wealth is Your Health!

Dr. Kelli Datres, Dr. Kerri Datres & Dr. Kevin McCarthy We are now in two locations to serve you better! 1050-5 Benner Pike 1017 Washington Blvd. Ste A State College, PA 16801 Williamsport, PA 17701

YOU DESERVE A SUMMER MAKEOVER!!!

A fast, simple natural way to improve your WEIGHT, MOOD, SLEEP & VITAILITY in ONLY 30 days! Have you given up on trying to look and feel your best after 40? Is your doctor telling you, "That is just how it is. You are getting older"? Is your nutritionist or personal trainer saying that you have to eat less and exercise more? (... but it's not working) Do your husband and friends just think you are a little "fanatical" because you're constantly trying new supplements to lose your belly fat and just get a good night's sleep? Do you know something is off in your body but no one is pinpointing it?

Advantages of balancing your hormones WHILE losing Weight:

• BURN UP fat cells. Don’t just shrink them. • Average weight loss for a woman is 20 pounds of FAT in a month! • This PLAN takes hormones into account and corrects the imbalance for good.

GET HELP WITH YOUR

Headaches…Irritability…Hot Flashes…Cramps… “Heavy” Periods…Depression…Low Libido…Anxiety…Night Sweats…Bloating…Insomnia…Mood Swings… I have never felt better since beginning the Becoming Balanced Program. For years I not only struggled with my weight but also with chronic back pain. Getting my hormones balanced not only helped me lose over 100 pounds, but also decreased my cortisol level and eliminated my inflammation. I've kept the weight off for over two years now and at age fifty have never felt better. ~ Dawn Sholly

Get Organized! With the change of seasons this fall, you’re probably craving some new outfits right about now. But before you cram one more piece of clothing in your closet, think about cleaning it up a bit. Here are a few tips to help:

USE IT OR LOSE IT

You know it’s true: there are some things in your closet that you’ll never wear again. This is Jeff Ulmer, Owner the perfect time to ditch those wastes of valuable space. Try using these guidelines... • Anything with a stain that won’t ever come up, regardless of what detergent you try • Anything with a hole that can’t be hidden or mended • Anything that makes you think, “Ugh, I hate how this looks on me,” when you actually wear it • Anything that has purely “sentimental” value (it’s just a piece of clothing. You’ll live without it) • Anything that will fit you just as soon as you start up that diet again

some ideas. Make this the season you get organized. Call Closets Plus Today For a free Design Consultation 888 649 2969 or Visit us online at www.closetspluspa.com We know you will be glad you did. You can also “like” us on Facebook to keep up to date on new offerings

PUT IT AWAY (THE RIGHT WAY)

There are lots of ways to stash your clothing, but you want to do it the right way. Even if you’re working with very limited space, try to follow the following: • Store seasonal items away – give the primo space to things you actually wear • Try to maintain a balance of items - when you add something, see if there’s something worn or old that you can take away • Don’t hang your sweaters or knits; instead, fold them to help them retain their shape • Group similar items together (pants, jackets, etc.) to help you assemble outfits quickly

“55 minutes The amount of time an average American spends each day looking for things he/she has but can’t find.” – Good Housekeeping

Built In Closets • Walk In Closets Closet Accesories • Reach In Closets Pantry Spaces • Difficult Spaces Garage Organizers

Call CLOSETS PLUS Today

DON’T FORCE IT!

Unless your closet has been “maximized” (something we do at Closet Plus) no amount of massaging can fit 25 feet of clothing into a 15-foot closet. If you have too many “must keep” clothes for your closet’s space, stuffing everything in is not helpful - you’ll only create a headache for yourself later. Instead, consider a closet organization system.

High Performance Housing For more information please visit www.envinity.com/tour2015/.

In the past I have written about High Performance Housing in this column, specifically a tour of homes in the area that focused on properties that were designed to be energy efficient and provide a healthier living environment. These type of homes are typically built to meet or exceed Energy Star standards. The tour was intended to give the public a chance to see firsthand what makes these homes different, as well as listen to educational presentations and talk with professionals in the housing industry. If you missed the event last year, you will get a second chance. This year will also include some properties that have been renovated to increase energy efficiency but do not have the Energy Star certification. On Saturday, August 1th, from 10 AM to 7 PM, the tour will take place in and around State College at a variety of sites. It will start with the opening event at the community center for Springfield Commons in Boalsburg, with educational talks and tours of some of the homes. From 11:00 to 3:00 other properties in and around State College will be available for tours and conversations with the builders and owners. The day will end at the Happy Valley Vineyard and Winery where tours of the winery and informational presentations will be offered. There will be opportunities to talk with various professionals about your interests as well as a panel discussion to wrap up the evening. Food and beverages will be available for purchase at the final event.

MARKET UPDATE: Based on data from the Centre County Association of Realtors MLS system, the housing market in central PA is doing well. Overall there have been increases in the sales prices and number of sales, and a decrease Days on the Market. These figures may have changed more drastically for the better except for an imbalance in the demand and supply. Buyers are having trouble finding the right listings as the good ones disappear quickly. If the inventory was stronger I believe we would see more sales and price increases. As always, check with your local Realtor for conditions in your area. I hope to see you on Saturday, August 1, at the High Performance Housing Tour. Call me at 814-574-9267 today to get started!

Through her careful and compassionate accounting of all my symptoms, and especially through the Triad testing, we were able to uncover the physiological causes of my “brain sickness.” A program of targeted supplements corrected these issues. As a result, I feel better than I have in many years! Retesting was also useful, and reassuring, in that it showed normalization in most areas, but also a few areas that still need stronger intervention. — C.R., State College, PA

After seeing hundreds of her short stories published, Marta started work on her first novel. Fifty-some published novels later, she shares her creativity and a lifetime of experience in rural PA. Her Pennsylvania Dutch roots led Marta to write about the Amish. The Pleasant Valley Amish series from Berkley Books are complex emotional stories with Amish main characters, while the Amish Suspense series from HQN Books are adventure-filled books set in Pennsylvania Amish country. She also continues to write for Love Inspired Books. Marta lives with her husband in a century-old central PA farmhouse.

MONTOURSVILLE - Beth Fantaskey is the author of the young adult novels Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, Jessica Rules the Dark Side, Jekel Loves Hyde, and, most recently, a funny, romantic teen murder mystery, Buzz Kill. Her next book - tentatively titled “ISHBEL FEENEY – STAR GIRL REPORTER” - is her first middle-grade novel. It’s a fun mystery about a 1920s Chicago newsgirl who stumbles across – and decides to solve – a murder. Married and from Montoursville, Beth graduated from Montoursville High and studied journalism at Temple.

Hair

Lifting YOUR Spirits

The Women’s Journal Reader

Last issue we asked The Women’s Journal readers to send me an email for a chance to win a FREE spring hair make-over! Well, the entries are in and fate has guided the draw. We had a great response so one model didn’t seem like enough. Our lucky ladies are Denise with short, flat, uneventful hair in her “before,” and Colette with a long, heavy, “I’ve been growing this forever” look.

SPRING HAIR MAKE-OVER

Colette

These ladies were really fun to work with and both told me to do what I would like. However, as a designer, I learned a long time ago that I don’t have to live with what I do. So we sat down and discussed what would be the best within the frame of their daily lives.

CONEST!

Denise is a wife, mother, professional dress maker and owner of “Restitch Studio” here in State College. This is one talented and busy lady. The last thing she needs in the morning is another project. Also, little children (and sometimes Dads) don’t often like Mommy coming home looking markedly different. So for Denise, a simple three-dimensional precision cut introduced the actual shape of her head into the style line she already had. It’s a simple formula: if the cut is sculpted to the shape of the skull, it has to fit the face. Next I established volume and freedom of movement with point and texture techniques. Then for added dimension, I applied color two levels darker then her natural shade to the temporal area, dovetailing a nice blend towards the nape of her neck. Foiled highlights two levels lighter added lift throughout the top and bang areas. The process is simple, but the difference is pronounced. Colette is a wife and the mother of identical twin girls (who look remarkably not identical!) She sells jewelry and prepares lunches for a school full of children—and usually does all of this in a single day’s work! Again, a lady who doesn’t need more to do in the morning. My considerations for Dad and the girls were the same as for Denise’s family; we want Mom to look like Mom.

A 3-D precision cut for Colette with point and texture techniques (to add body and break up her natural wave pattern) did the trick and her hair did the rest of the work itself. Colette already has a warm medium to dark brown tint on her hair. So we didn’t tamper with an already nice finish. Again, the process is simple, the difference extraordinary. Whatever the time of year, a seasonal makeover does not have to change your life in order to lift your spirits. An understanding of your life style combined with well executed design work can give you a little something to look forward to during Pennsylvania’s cycle of seasons. July August 2015

Facts on Hearing Loss • Almost 50 million Americans have hearing loss in at least one ear, including 1 in 5 teenagers. • Those with a mild hearing loss are twice as likely to develop dementia, and this risk increases with the severity of the hearing loss. • The cognitive abilities of older adults (ages 75 to 84) with hearing loss declined 30% to 40% faster than in older adults whose hearing was normal. • 60% of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan come home with hearing loss and tinnitus. • Depression and isolation are common among those with hearing loss. • Men are more likely than women to experience hearing loss. • In the United States, three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. • Hearing loss becomes more prevalent with age; hearing loss occurs in about 18% of American adults between ages 45 and 54, 30% of adults between ages 65 and 74, and 47% of adults ages 75 and older. • About 26 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises at work or in leisure activities. • Exposure to tobacco smoke and second-hand smoke has been directly linked to higher risks of some types of hearing loss.

You Think You Are Divorced (but you really are not) One of the most challenging and frustrating aspects of being a divorced parent may be getting along with your former spouse. I tell people, “when you are parents, you two will always be married to each other, no matter what the courts say.” In all likelihood, you will be in your ex-husband’s life for a longer period of time than his “new girlfriend.” The better you get along with your ex, the easier you make life for you and your children.. Somehow, you must learn the art of being angry and frustrated with your ex (something that is very easy to do) with honestly and effectively communicating to your spouse in a non-hostile fashion (something very hard to do). One of the other things I tell people is that for every action you do, you can expect a reaction from him. Similarly, for every action he does, he should expect a reaction from you. I am sure you have heard of the “Compliment Sandwich” technique. Here’s how it works: “The meat of the sandwich (your complaint, criticism, or concern) is surrounded by two pieces of bread (compliments or positive feedback). In order to minimize defensiveness, you would begin with a compliment (the first piece of bread), then present the main message that you are trying to communicate (the meat), and then finish with another compliment (the second piece of bread). Here’s an illustration: You have always been a great parent, and Tom really loves you (first compliment/ positive feedback). So when I heard you promise Tom that you’d be there for the big game on Saturday, I was very surprised and disappointed when you didn’t show up. What I need is for you to call me

and let me know if you can’t honor a promise you make to Tom.(critical feedback). Tom has always been able to count on you in the past and I know you’ll be careful about not making commitments to him unless you’re sure you can follow through for now on. (second compliment/positive feedback). The alternative to this conversation is “where the hell were you!?” One method will minimize anger, while the other method augments anger. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Keep Your Pet COOL When it's HOT Outside One of the easiest sun related health hazards to prevent is dehydration. Make sure your

pet ALWAYS has fresh clean water available. Try

to limit play time and walks to before 9am and after 5pm during the summer months. When you are playing outside with your pet make sure to give him water breaks at least every 20-30 minutes.

Complete Medical, Dental & Surgical Care Office Hours by Appointment SERVING ANIMAL HEALTH SINCE 1952 24 Hour Emergency Services Small and Large Animal Veterinarians Boarding and Grooming

Dogs don’t sweat to cool down like we do, they have to pant. Signs of dehydration include, excessive panting, slowing down during play, and reluctance to walk. If symptoms become worse your pet may be going into heat exhaustion. If you think your pet is suffering from heat exhaustion, call your vet immediately; as heat exhaustion can be fatal. DO NOT try to rapidly cool your pet down with ice or cold water, this will constrict blood vessels and cause heart complications. Put a fan on your pet, offer water, and get to your veterinarian immediately. July August 2015
