Conversations With Aunt Emmy by Patricia Edwards

As you know Conversations With Aunt Emmy by Patricia Edwards is all about asking the right questions and providing information which will help to engage you in a powerful partnership with your treating medical provider.  This Sunday our nuggets which we re-visited were about dental health and the importance of asking questions about your breath, the condition of your oral cavity and whether the examination they do on your neck was normal.  Flossing twice per day and brushing twice per day  contributes to  your overall good health.

 

Taking vacation is an action which is very important to your health.  It helps to replenish you creativity, you general outlook on life and your job.  Why not take a vacation?  Why save vacation days?

Aunt Emmy briefly introduced a topic which most people do not wish to talk about and that is your end of life needs. As part of living we need to plan for not living and here again there are questions you need to ask yourself  so that you can ask about them while you are still around.  Aunt Emmy will do a specific show on planning for the end of life  next year.

 

The Little Pink Purse of Courage: When Breast Cancer Is The Diagnosis and Chemotherapy Is The Treatment Option is in a second edition.  The two new sections of the book address resources that one needs and then how to ask for help.  Asking for help is not easy for people. Aunt Emmy suggested having a friend  compose a list of chores which you might need help with and share the list  when others ask how they can help.

 

On a personal note Aunt Emmy made a plea to the listeners to help find a nephew by affection who is missing from his home as of  the early afternoon on December 3, 2010.  He was to pick up his mother from work in her silver grey Nissan Sentra 2009 , W827 GD and never showed up.  Very unlike this 21 year old Nova college student.

Hopefully there will be good news to report next Sunday. They live in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
