The Bailey FamilyKeith, Angela, Denise & Rodney
or�the�month�of�June,�we�are�proud�to�introduce�you�to�a�very�special� family�–�The�Bailey’s�-�Keith,�Angela,�Denise�and�Rodney.
Keith�and�Angela�Bailey�have� lived� in�Paulding� for� the�past�six�years.�Keith� is� from�Powder� Springs� and� Angela� is� originally� from� Dothan,� Alabama,� but� has� been� in�Georgia�for�the�past�15�years.�Both�Keith�and�Angela�have�lived�all�over�Atlanta,�until�settling�in�Paulding�when�they�married.
Keith�and�Angela�were�introduced�to�each�other�through�mutual�friends.�This�month�they�will�celebrate�their�sixth�wedding�anniversary.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KEITH AND ANGELA!!!!
When�the�Bailey’s�decided�to�start�a�family,�they�began�to�talk� about� adoption.�They� checked� into� adopting� a�baby�from�several�different�areas,�but�sadly�discovered�the�cost�was� way� beyond� their� budget.� One� evening� they� were�watching� Fox� 5� News� -� Wednesday’s� Child.� From� this�informative�segment,�they�got�the�idea�to�foster-to-adopt�a�child.�
In� the� Foster/Adopt� pro-gram,� Keith� and� Angela� first�had�to�see� if� they�qualified.�Of� course,� they� were� able�to� pass� all� the� necessary�qualifications.� After� only� a�couple�of�months,�they�received�a�call�that�they�had�a�match!�When�Keith�and�Angela�went�into�the�office,�the�agent�said,�“We�know�you�only�wanted�one�child,�but�would�you�be�willing�to�take�a�brother�and�sister?”��“Of�course!!!”�they�said�without�hesitation�and�before�they�knew� it,� they� were� welcoming� home� their� precious�children,�Denise�and�Rodney.��In� the� last� three� years,� the� Bailey’s� have� created�
a� beautiful� bond� as� a� family.� They� are� very� active� and� enjoy�spending� time�at� their� lake�house� riding� four�wheelers,�bikes�and� jumping�on� the�trampoline.�The� children�have�both�been� active� in� gymnastics.�Denise� is� currently�taking�electric�guitar�lessons�and�has�also�been�involved�in�cheerleading�and�softball.��Rodney�enjoys�playing�baseball�and�basketball.�
Angela�is�now�a�stay-at-home�mom�after�being�a�Veterinary�Technician�for�20�years.�Keith�has�been�a�lineman�for�Greystone�Power�for�13�years.�This� is�the�family�they�always�wanted.�Both�Keith�and�Angela�encourage�anyone�who�wants�to�have�children�to�consider�what�they�did�and�give�other�children�a�chance�to�have�a�family�of�their�own.
If�you�know�of�a�special�person,�family�or�group�in�Paulding,�we’d�like�you�to�nomi-nate�them�for�a�future�cover.�Send�an�email�to�[email protected].�Include�the�names,�ages,�why�you�think�they�should�be�on�the�cover,�and�contact� information.�(Please�don’t�submit�your�own.�It’s�quite�the�surprise�to�be�nominated.)�Our�selec-tion�committee�will�carefully�review�the�nominations.

t’s� that� time�of�year�again;� the� time�when�we�break� out� our� swimsuits� and� head� for� the�beach,�pool,�or� just� lay�out� to�get� a� tan.�This�
is� the� time� of� year� when� the� fruits� of� taking�care� of� our� bodies� are� put� on�display.�Working� out� and� eating�right� can� seem� like� an� endless�cycle,�and�it�can�be�quite�confus-ing� to� know� exactly� when� and�where� to� start� our� journey� of�getting�in�shape.
There� are� a� few� simple� rules�to� follow� that� can� make� reach-ing� your� goals� easier.�The�most�
important� thing� when� trying� to� get�into�great�physical� condition� is�eating�right.�So�much�advice� is�out� there.�But�one�basic�bit�of�advice�when�considering�what�to�stock�your�house�with�from� the� store� is� what� I� am� about� to� tell� you,� so� take�notes.
Stick� to� the�outside�of� the� isles�when�shopping.�Notice�that�most�of�the�foods�with�chemicals�and�extra�fats�are�located�on�in�the�isles.�Take�a�close�look�at�what�is�on�the�outside�of� the� isles� -� fruits,� veggies,�organic� foods,� and�lean� meats.�Try� to� avoid� the� insides� of� the� isles� where�sugars�and�starches�live.

Also,� use� portion� control.�You� can� eat� healthy,� but� if�you� are� going� back� for� seconds,� thirds� and� so� on,� you�are�doing�more�harm�than�good.�A�good�rule�of�thumb�is�using�your� fist� to�size�your�portions.�Each�helping�of�
meats,� veggies,� and� so� on� should� be� about� the� size� of�your� fist.�This�will�keep�you�from�overeating.�Try� to�eat�four� solid� meals� a� day� and� avoid� eating� after� eight� at�night,�if�you�can.
Working� out� regularly� is� the� next� component� to� this�puzzle.�Just� as� with� eating,� there� are� tons� of� different�approaches� to� working� out.� If� you� have� never� worked�out�before,�it�would�be�very�helpful�to�consult�a�personal�trainer�to�get�you�on�the�right�path.�No�one�workout�is�right�for�everyone.�Everyone�is�different;�therefore�every�
workout�must�be� tailored�to� the� individual.�The� trainer�will�find�out�about�your�background�as�far�as�any�injuries�you�may�have,�medical�restraints,�and�past�workout�his-
tory.� Given� this� information,� the� trainer� can�better�assess�you�and�develop�a�workout�
plan� that�will�give�you� the�results�you�desire.� A� trainer� will� make� working�
out�fun�and�enjoyable.
Being� active� in� general� is� the� key�element� to� shaping� up.� When�you� have� a� choice� between� tak-ing� the� elevator� and� the� stairs,�
choose�the�stairs�to�burn�a�few�extra�calories.�When�you�drive�to�the�store,�
instead�of�parking�as�close�as�you�can�to�the�store,�park�a�little�way�out�so�you�
can�get�a�few�more�steps�in�your�day.�Incor-porating� these� little� choices� into� your� day� will� greatly�improve� your�health.�It’s� your�decision,� and�your�body�will�thank�you�for�every�effort�you�make.

ife� is� complicated� and� anxiety� is� a� normal�reaction�to�stress.�Some�experiences�of�anxi-ety� are� an� expected� part� of� life.� However,�
when�anxiety�becomes�extreme�it�develops�into�a�disabling�disorder.�Anxiety�disorders�are�mental�health�conditions�that�include�excessive�amounts�of�nervousness,�fear,�worry,�or�dread.�Anxiety�dis-orders� are� the� most� common� psychological� dif-ficulty�and�one�that�affects�over�40�million�adults�in�the�United�States.
Anxiety�disorders�may�be�caused�by�life�changes,�stress� and� tension;� medical� factors;� genetics;�brain�chemistry;�substance�abuse;�or�a�combina-
tion�of� these� issues.�Whatever� the� cause,� anxiety�disor-ders�are�serious�and�painful.
There�are�different� types�of� anxiety�disorders,�with�dif-ferent�symptoms:
Generalized anxiety disorders (GAD)� involves� ongo-ing� excessive� worry� about� nonspecific� issues.� GAD� suf-ferers�often�feel�afraid�and�worry�about�health,�finances,�family,�work�or�potential�misfortunes.�The�fears�are�typi-cally�unrealistic�and�there�is�a�sense�that�the�worst�will�happen.
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)� is� an� anxiety�disorder� characterized� by� thoughts� or� actions� that� are�repetitive,�distressing,�and�intrusive.�OCD�suffers�usually�know�that�their�compulsions�are�unreasonable�or�irratio-nal,�but�because�they�alleviate�anxiety,�are�very�difficult�

to�control�or� stop.�Other�disorders� that�are� thought� to�be�related�to�OCD�include�trichotillomania�(compulsive�hair�pulling),�and�compulsive�shoplifting.
Panic Disorder�involves�intense�and�sudden�periods�of�fear�or�even�terror.�There�is�typically�an�abrupt�onset�that�involves� physical� symptoms� such� as� racing� heart� rate,�difficulty� breathing,� shaking,� chest� pain,� hot� flashes� or�chilling�and�an�intense�sense�of�fear.�Panic�attacks�are�not�medically�dangerous,�but�they�are�terrifying.��
Phobias� are� intense� fears� and� avoidance� of� situations�(flying�in�a�plane,�driving�on�the�interstate)�or�of�things�(bugs,�heights).�Phobias�typically�cause�people�to�avoid�the�things�that�are�feared.
Social anxiety or phobias�are�where�there�are�extreme�levels� of� discomfort� in� social� interactions.� The� fear� is�typically� about� being� negatively� judged� by� others� or� a�fear�of�public�embarrassment�or�humiliations.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)� is� an� anxiety�disorder� resulting� from� a� past� trauma� (such� as� mili-tary� combat,� rape,� a� serious� accident�or�other� extreme�encounter).� Symptoms� include� flashbacks,� hypervigi-lance,�nightmares,�or�extreme�fear.
Avoiding� circumstances� that� make� you� anxious� might�help�you�feel�better�in�the�short�term.�However�the�relief�is�only�temporary�and�every�time�something�is�avoided,�it� becomes� harder� to� face.� Typically� concerns� that� the�anxiety�will�return�becomes�problematic�and�most�often�
leads� to� a� gradual� progression� where� more� and� more�situations�are�avoided.�Therefore,�avoiding�anxiety�pro-voking�situations�actually�results�in�the�further�develop-ment�of�an�anxiety�disorder.
When�an�anxiety�disorder�is�significantly�interfering�with�life,� professional� assistance� is� important� and� should�be� explored.� Medications� can� be� very� helpful� in� the�treatment� of� anxiety� disorders.� These� medications� are�commonly�prescribed�by�physicians�(family�practice,�OB-GYNs,�or�psychiatrists).� Psychotherapy�or� counseling� is�helpful�by�exploring�the�root�causes�of�the�anxiety�and�to�teach�the�behavioral� interventions�that�are�helpful�with�anxiety.� Training� in� relaxation� techniques,� meditation,�and�breathing�exercises�really�can�help�with�the�intense�discomfort�of�anxiety.�Learning�how�to�manage�stress�in�life�and�not�over�committing�is�important.�Looking�after�physical� health� is� helpful.� This� includes� eating� healthy�meals,� getting� regular� exercise,� and� getting� enough�sleep.�Additionally,�a�trained�therapist�can�develop�a�sys-tematic�treatment�plan�to�challenge�the�irrational�belief�systems�that�develop�with�anxiety.
Anxiety� disorders� are� highly� treatable,� yet� only� about�one-third� of� those� suffering� receive� treatment.� While�reaching� out� for� professional� help� is� never� easy,� most�people� who� seek� treatment� for� anxiety� experience� sig-nificant�relief�and�an�improved�quality�of�life.

itamin�D� is� a� fat� soluble� vitamin� that� is� essential� for�proper� calcium�absorption.�New�evidence�shows�that�low�vitamin�D�levels�are�associ-ated�with�serious�health�problems.�Therefore,�the�American�Academy�
of� Pediatrics� (AAP)� has� recently� recommended� that� all� children� including�newborns�receive�at�least�400�international�units�(IU)�of�vitamin�D�each�day.�Recent� medical� journals� claim� that� children� may� need� as� much� as� 1000� IU�per�day.�This�article�will�review�the�importance�of�vitamin�D,�give�sources�of�
vitamin�D,�explain�reasons�for�low�vitamin�D�and�list�health�problems�that�can�result�from�a�vitamin�D�deficiency.
Doctors�have�known�for�years�that�vitamin�D�is�essential�for�strong�bones�and�teeth.�However,�low�vitamin�D�is�linked�to�an�increased�incidence�of�upper�respiratory�tract�infections,� asthma� and� eczema.� Studies�have� concluded� that� inadequate� vita-min� D� in� infancy� increases� the�risk� for� Type� I� Diabetes.� Recent�scientific� research� shows� that�vitamin�D�may�play�an�impor-tant� role� in� preventing� and�treating�the�following�health�problems:� multiple� sclero-sis,� thyroid� disease,� insulin�resistance,� cardiovascular�disease,� cancer� and� cogni-tive� impairment� in� adults.�The�bottom�line�is�vitamin�D�is�vital�for�good�health.
Vitamin�D�is�most�efficiently�obtained�from�direct�sunlight�upon�skin.�Therefore,�vitamin�D�deficiency�is�more�prevalent�in�those�parts�of�the�world�where�it�is�too�cold�or�culturally�inappropriate�to�expose�skin�to�sunlight.�Darker�skin�tones,�obesity�and�sunscreen�impair�the�skin’s�ability�to�absorb�vitamin�D�from�the�UVB�rays�of�the�sun.�Health�guidelines�to�protect�our�bodies�from�harmful�rays�may�also�deprive�our�bodies�of�this�important�nutrient.�Playing�outside�is�a�great�way�for�children�to�burn�energy,�get�fresh�air�and�soak�up�some�vitamin�D.
Natural�dietary�sources�of�vitamin�D�include�eggs,�liver�and�some�types�of�fish.�It�is�also� added� to� many� dairy� products.� Milk,� yogurt,� soy� milk,� tuna� fish� and� eggs� are�good�sources�of�vitamin�D�for�growing�children.�However,�it�takes�32�ounces�of�milk�a�day�to�reach�the�recommended�daily�allowance.�This�much�milk�can�be�constipat-ing�for�some�children.�Breast�milk�is�generally�better�for�babies�than�formula�but�it�is�lower�in�vitamin�D.�Babies�who�are�exclusively�breast�fed�should�receive�a�vitamin�D�supplement.�A�multi-vitamin�is�recommended�for�all�children�who�do�not�get�at�least�400�IU�of�vitamin�D�per�day.�
Some�people�have�difficulty�obtaining�vitamin�D�from�their�diet�because�of�their�food�choices�or�impaired�fat�absorption.�The�following�is�a�list�of�conditions�that�may�result�in�inadequate�dietary�vitamin�D:�cystic�fibrosis,�short�gut�syndrome,�Crohn’s�disease,�milk�allergy,� lactose�intolerance,�strict�vegetarian�diet,�celiac�disease�and�pancreatic�insufficiency.�The�liver�and�kidney�play�an�important�role�in�converting�Vitamin�D�to�its�active�form.�Because�of�this,�patients�with�impaired�kidney�and�liver�function�can�develop�a�vitamin�D�deficiency�even�if�they�receive�the�recommended�amount.
Symptoms�of�vitamin�D�deficiency�are�subtle�and�often�missed.�Bone�pain,�muscle�weakness,�leg�bowing,�and�easy�fractures�are�well�known�symptoms�but�most�patients�with� low�vitamin�D�have�no�symptoms.�If�your�child� is�at�risk� for�a�vitamin�D�defi-ciency,�talk�to�your�pediatrician.�A�blood�test�for�25-hydroxy�vitamin�D�will�help�your�doctor�determine�if�vitamin�D�levels�are�within�the�normal�range�(30�to�74�ng/ml).�To�keep�your�children�healthy,�encourage�them�to�drink�their�milk,�take�a�vitamin�and�play�outside�everyday.

2.�Dads�may�not�be� sentimental� around� the�house�but�they� love� to� display� their� Father’s� Day� cards� at� work�with�pride.�Give�your�dad�a�card.� If�you�have�the�time,�make�your�own�card,� letting�dad�know�how�much�you�love�him.�3.�Treat�your�dad�to�dinner�at�a�local�restaurant.�Better�still;� surprise� him� by� cooking� up� his� favorite� dish� at�home.� (If� you� don’t� cook,� order� out� from� his� favorite�restaurant�and�have�a�quiet�intimate�evening�with�dad.)�
4.� Get� your� dad� a� Father’s� Day� gift� that� is�personal� and� expresses� the� measure� of�
your� love� for� him.� Give� something�you�know�your�dad�will� love�and�
use� often.� This� way,� your� dad�will�remember�you�every�time�
he� uses� the� gift.� Above� all,�remember,� it’s� not� the� gift,�as� much� as� the� thought�behind� it� that� counts—especially,�with�dads.
5.�Spend�some�quality�time�with� your� dad.� You� could�stay� home� and� make� the�
day�a�special�family�occasion�by�watching�a�movie�together,�
playing� a� game� or� listening� to�some� of� his� favorite� music.� Or,�
treat� your� dad� to� a� popular� “dad”�type�destination:
�Historical�museum:� If�dad’s� a�history�buff� and� loves� to�talk� and� point� at� the� same� time,� then� let� him� lecture�and� explore� to� his� heart’s� content� at� a� local� historical�museum.�Don’t�forget�the�souvenirs�and�photographs�on�your�way�back�home.�Ballgame:�There’s�nothing�that�dad�loves�better�than�to�root�for�his�favorite�team�with�rousing�support�from�the�family.�Golfing:�If�you�are�getting�dad�some�top�quality�golfing�equipment�this�Father’s�Day,�then�you�might�as�well�pack�up�a�picnic�and�caddy�for�dear�dad�out�on�the�greens.�Jazz� and� Blues� Festival:� Live� classic� performances� are�great� for� dads� and� will� make� the� night� one� to� cherish�and�remember.��Rent-a-fantasy-car:�Check�for�this�service�in�your�area�to�rent�your�dad�a�Porche�(or�any�other�fantasy�car)�for�the�day.� Let� him� take� his� very� own� speed� trip� (with� insur-ance,�of�course!)�Rollercoaster:� If� fancy� cars� are� not� his� style,� then� dad�will� love�a�good�old� fashioned�rollercoaster� ride.�Make�sure�it’s�a�big�scary�one�that�takes�him�to�the�moon�and�back.
No,�matter�what�you�do,�don’t�let�the�day�pass�without�letting� your� Dad� know� that� you� love� and� appreciate�him.

a�preferred�choice�for�some�of�the�finest�home.�The�trend�of�having�stained�concrete�in�homes�started�with�its�appearance�in�cool�retail�locations.�At�some�point�homeowners�realized�this�same�eye�catching�floor�could�be�a�hit�in�their�own�homes.�Today�there�are�many�companies�who�have�the�expertise�to�turn�your�ordinary�concrete�foundation�into�something�really�special.�Let’s�start�by�looking�at�the�advantages�that�stained�concrete�floors�bring�to�your�home.�Easy�to�maintain�–�Nothing�is�easier.�Just�a�quick�sweep�and�a�damp�mop�is�all�it�takes�with�a�good�waxing�once�a�year�to�maintain�the�shine.�Health�benefits�–�One�of�the�best�things�about�stained�concrete�flooring�is�it�does�not�hold�dust�and�allergens.�It�is�the�best�choice�for�people�with�aller-gies.�Green�friendly�–�Since�the�floor�is�basically�using�the�foundation�that�is�already�there,�there�is�no�wood�to�cut�or�carpet�to�produce.�Energy�efficient�–�Concrete� floors�can�actually�reduce�utility�bills�since� they�stay�cool�in�the�summer�and�a�few�throw�rugs�can�bring�out�their�warmth�in�
the�winter.
Concrete� floors� are� not� painted�with� a� stain� the� way� furniture�might� be,� instead� the� concrete� is�treated�with�a�mixture�of�acids�and�salts�that�actually�create�a�chemical�reaction� that�changes� the�color�of�the�floor.
How will I know what color my floors will be?Testing,� testing,� testing� is� the�answer.�Since�we�are�dealing�with�a�chemical�reaction�there�is�no�way�to� know� before� hand� how� your�existing� concrete� floor� will� react�to� the� acid� mixture� about� to� be�applied.�So,�the�best�way�is�to�test�an�area�that�is�not�easily�seen�like�a�closet.�This�way�you�can�make�sure�the� color� you� are� getting� works�with� what� you’re� trying� to� do.� If�it’s� not,� there� are� different� acid�mixtures� that� will� give� you� differ-ent�results�allowing�you�to�get�very�close�to�the�color�you�like.����
What colors are available?Since�we�are�talking�about�a�chemical�reaction�you�won’t�get�an�exact�color�but�there�are�8�colors�that�your�floor�will�come�close�to�matching.�Those�colors�are�tan,�brown,�black,�blue,�red,�gold,�green�and�finally�what�many�call�umber�or�earth�tone.�How much will stained concrete cost for my home?There� is� an� option� for� doing� it� yourself� and� it� is� very� inexpensive� and� not� as� dif-ficult�as�you�might� imagine.�Doing� it�yourself�can�be�done�for�about��50�cents�per�square� foot�and�unlike�many�projects,� small�mistakes� in�staining�concrete� flooring�can�actually�add�to�the�overall�look�of�the�floor.�But�if�you�are�looking�to�hire�a�pro-fessional,�expect�to�pay�anywhere�from�$2.50�to�$5.00�per�square�foot.�Companies�should�have�a�photo�album� to� show�you�other� jobs� they�have�done� to�give� you�a�good�idea�of�the�quality�of�their�work�and�how�each�stain�might�look�in�your�home.���Some�of�the�most�beautiful�homes�feature�beautiful�stained�concrete�floors.�Not�only�do� they�provide�an�upscale� look�but�clean�ups�are�easy�and� they�can�even�reduce�allergies.�With�this�popular�option,�your�home�will�have�a�unique�floor�with�a�color�and� pattern� all� its� own,� just� one� more� way� to� make� your� house� reflect� your� own�family’s�individual�style.

irtually� as� all-American� as� apple� pie� is� the�recliner�chair.�It�is�a�staple�in�any�man’s�den�and�it�invites�it’s�users�to�snuggle�in�for�a�sleep,�
watch�a�DVD�or�simply�grab�some�much�needed�rest.���A�very�early�version�of�the�recliner�chair�goes�back�to�the�19th�century,�but�the�chair�we�know�and�love�was�first�invented�by�two�cousins�Edward�Knabusch�and�Edwin�Shoemaker.�The� two� took� this� concept�from� a� back-porch� chair� and� went� on� to� make�a� comfortably� upholstered� version.� The� original�incarnation�of�their�company�was�called�Floral�Town�Furniture,�but�after�they�were�granted�their�patent�in�1931,�they�modified�the�business�name�to�La-Z-Boy.���The� first� recliner� chairs� did� not� have� a� foot-
rest.� The� Barcalounger� manufacturer� added� it� in� 1947�and� shortly� after,� La-Z-Boy� added� it� as� well.� � It� soon�became� a� regular� feature� right� through� the� indus-try.� The� TV� series� ‘Friends’� revitalized� the� entire� mar-ket� for� motion� chairs� as� Chandler� and� Joey� enthused�about� the� later,� sleeker� types� of� the� timeless� classics.���Nowadays,� recliner� chairs� are� built� to� fit� and� comple-ment� any� style� of� decor.� There� are� recliner� chairs� that�are� built� to� go� in� home� theaters� and� can� skim� the�wall,� but� still� able� to� recline.� This� saves� room� in� lit-tle� theaters� and� supply� total� comfort� when� watching�a� flick.� There� are� also� recliners� that� don’t� appear� to�be� a� recliner� but� seem� more� like� a� wing� back� chair� or�
something� similar.� This� draws� buyers� who� need� the� recliner� to� fit�in� with� their� design� scheme� and� not� appear� like� the� typical� frumpy�recliner.�You�may�look�at�this�type�of�chair�and�never�guess�it�reclined.��Today,� the� Study� is� not� the� only� room� to� be� home�to� a� recliner.� They� are� now� discovered� in�hospital� rooms;� reclining� all� the� way�back� into� a� bed.� Additionally,� they� are�frequently� found� in� big� business�offices� and� bedroom� sitting� areas.�They� are� also� manufactured� to�lift� to� assist� an� elderly� person�to� get� out� of� the� chair� nicely.���Some� recliner� chairs� are� pre-scribed� by� doctors� for� their�healing� properties� of� massage�that� are� incorporated� inside.�So,�with�Father’s�Day�coming�up�fast,� and� if� you’re� unsure� what�to�buy�that�special�person�in�your�life,� take� a� look� at� the� furniture�store� in� the� chair� department� for� a�complete�selection�to�select�from�or�go�online� and� be� amazed� at� the� deals� to� be�found.� Keep� in� mind,� though� these� comfort�magnets�are�not�only�for�males�anymore,�and�you�might�decide�to�buy�two,�right�ladies?

he constant hum of machines surround the doctors, but it would take the strongest ear to hear the exchange between the two surgeons at work. The procedure? A Whipple – a surgery involving the removal of portions of the
pancreas and the most common operation performed for pancreatic cancer. The complexity comes in the reconstruction necessary after portions of the pancreas, duodenum (a part of the small intestine), bile duct and sometimes a portion of the stomach are removed. For the surgeon, David R. Elwood, M.D., with WellStar Surgical Associates of Marietta, this complex cancer surgery is a specialty.
Just down the hall in WellStar Kennestone Hospital’s Surgery Center, you could also find Douglas Lundy, M.D., of Resurgens Orthopaedics or William Terrell, M.D., of Pinnacle Orthopaedics attending to the latest “cold trauma” case. Trauma can mean a variety of things to people, but many will associate the word with the need for fast and immediate care. For clinicians, “hot traumas” describe patients who have an increased ability to survive the injury if they can be cared for within an hour after the trauma.
Once those life-threatening issues have been addressed, their medical team looks to the specific injuries and what treatments are needed. These “warm or cold” trauma patients come to specialists like Drs. Lundy and Terrell. Multiple studies have shown that many musculoskeletal injuries are better treated on a time-delayed basis, leaving time for soft tissue to recover. Many of the injuries affect upper or lower extremities and may also involve the bones of the pelvis itself.
These two examples are a small part of WellStar Surgical Services, which encompasses seven surgical practices and 23 surgeons, quality inpatient and outpatient surgical programs at all five WellStar hospitals and the expertise of the clinical teams. These teams are leading the way with the latest advances in laparoscopic, minimally inva-sive procedures, as well as image-guided techniques. Additions such as the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System continue to change the way surgery is defined. The da Vinci system provides not only the benefits of traditional laparoscopic surgery — smaller incisions, less bleeding and shorter recovery times — but it also provides a greater range of motion and a digitally clear surgical field for the surgeon. Currently avail-able at WellStar Kennestone, da Vinci is used in gynecological, urological and cardiac surgeries.
Other advances include single-incision laparoscopic surgeries, video-assisted thoracic surgeries, gastric bypass — WellStar Kennestone is a Bariatric Center of Excellence and joint replacement. WellStar Cobb, Douglas and Kennestone hospitals have Joint Commission Gold Seal certifications for their Joint Replacement programs.

f�you’ve�ever�had�a�sports�injury,�or�any�form�of�debilitating�orthopaedic�condi-tion,�you�know�that�physical� therapy�can�be�a�very� important�part�of�the�treat-ment�process.
Physical�therapy�is�considered�a�conservative�treatment�method�and�is�often�one�of�the� first� measures� an� orthopaedic� surgeon� will� prescribe� when� treating� a� patient.�Physical�therapy�focuses�on�pain�relief,�promoting�healing�and�restoring�function�and�movement�associated�with�an�injury.�Although�many�patients�may�think�they�know�how� to� exercise� properly� and� manage� their� own� pain� and� rehabilitation,� physical�therapists� are� specialists� skilled� and� educated� specifically� in� proper� rehabilitation�methods.�They�work�closely�with�the�patient’s�referring�physician�in�order�to�develop�a�rehab�program�designed�specifically�to�each�individual�patient.
Physical�therapy�can�encompass�everything�from�pain�relief,�increased�strength�and�flexibility,� proper� postural� alignment,� regaining� movement� or� range� of� motion,�endurance�training,�relaxation�and�stress�relieving�techniques,� to�more�simple�bal-ance� and� coordination� training,� proper� walking,� education,� safety� awareness� and�development/implementation�of�a�home�exercise�program.
Treatment�in�physical�therapy�can�involve�more�traditional�techniques�such�as�stretch-ing,�massage�and�basic�exercises,�or�the�use�of�highly�sophisticated�equipment�such�as� ultrasound� machines� for� muscle� stimulation.� Hydrotherapy� is� another� form� of�physical�therapy�that�makes�use�of�water�as�a�means�of�reducing�the�strain�and�stress�on�the�body�that�can�be�caused�by�exercises�that�are�typically�performed�on�land.
Physical�therapy�can�be�effective�in�treating�arthritis,�general�stiffness�or�joint�pain,�and� is�extremely�helpful� in� improving�post-surgical�outcomes.� In�general,�physical�therapy�also�has�a�beneficial�effect�on�your�overall�health�and�fitness.
One�important�thing�to�keep�in�mind�is�that�each�individual�is�different�and�therefore�has� different� bodies,� patterns� or� movement,� habits� and� limitations.� Because� each�person�is�different,�rates�of�healing�are�different�as�well�as�experiences�with�physi-cal� therapy.�The�therapy�that�worked�for�your�neighbor�may�not�work�for�you�and�therefore�it’s�important�to�remember�to�be�patient,�diligent,�and�compliant�with�the�specific�rehab�program�that�your�physician�and�your�therapist�build�for�you.�It�may�be�tough�at�first,�but�you’ll�soon�see�all�your�hard�work�paying�off!

believe�that�only�healthy�and�rich�citizens�can�benefit�from�such�plans.�Before�answering�these�questions�it�is�better�to�learn�what�HSAs�are�and�how�they�work.�What is a HSA?�A�typical�health�savings�account�is�comprised�of�two�elements:��) Savings account with inter-est bearing:Yearly� deposits� of� up� to�$2,900� ($5,800� in� case�of�a�family)�introduced�to� the� savings� account�are� to� be� taxed.� The�money� deposited� will�usually� roll� over� on� a�yearly� basis.� However,�the� money� you� with-draw�from�the�account�for� healthcare� purpos-es�is�tax-free,�as�are�any�withdrawals�after�you�officially�retire.�2) Healthcare coverage plan with a high deductible�The�minimum�deductible�amount�should�not�be�less�than�$1,100�($2,200�in�case�of�a� family).�That� is� the�amount�of�money�to�be�paid�out-of-pocket�before�getting�the�actual�benefits.�When�the�annual�deductible�is�paid,�the�actual�coverage�kicks�in.�You�will�have�to�pay�all�the�specified�co-insurance�and�the�plan�will�cover�all�that�remains.�The�overall�amount�of�money�to�be�paid�out-of-pocket�is�limited�to�$5,600�($11,200�in�case�of�a�family).�In�other�words,�after�you�have�spent�$5,600�on�healthiness�ser-vices�your�insurance�company�will�pay�for�all�health�costs�exceeding�that�amount.�What are the pros of health savings accounts?Because�any�money�withdrawn�for�healthcare�use�is�not�taxed,�HSAs�are�a�good�way�of�saving�more�money�in�your�pocket.-�In�case�you�keep�the�funds�without�withdrawing�them�from�the�account,�you�will�have� more� money� after� you� retire.� And� since� you� can� freely� withdraw� the� money�for�any�reason�after�you�turn�65�it�is�a�good�additional�source�of�retirement�money.�-���Health�Insurance�Plans�with�higher�deductibles�have�lower�premiums�than�typical�plans.��-�HSAs�don’t�depend�on�your�working�place�and�you�will�keep�it�the�same�no�matter�what.
What are the cons of health savings accounts?�Those�who�have�substantial�needs�in�healthcare�services�will�find�little�use�in�HSAs�since�they�provide�main�benefits�when�the�money�is�kept�in�the�account�for�an�extended�period�of�time.��-� People� with� serious� health� issues� will� find� it� hard� to� get� high-deductible�insurance� plans,� especially� if� they� were� already� denied� of� typical� plans.�-�Some�HSAs�have�additional�fees�that�in�sum�can�make�the�plan�quite�costly�for�the�customer.�-�Because�of�high�out-of-pocket�expenses�people�tend�to�go�without�care,�which�usu-ally�results�in�complications�and�more�serious�and�expensive�health�concerns.�Will a HSA be useful for me?In�case�you�have�no�serious�health�problems�and�are�able�to�pay�the�required�out-of-pocket�expenses�then�HSAs�will�definitely�be�a�good�option�for�you.�However,�you�must�understand� that�HSAs� require�you� to�be�more�conscious�about�your�medical�costs�and�the�coverage�provided�by�these�accounts�is�much�less�comprehensive�and�diverse�than�with�typical�health�insurance�plans.�Having�an�active�position�in�manag-ing�your�own�healthcare�is�a�must�with�HSAs,�so�if�you’re�not�ready�for�that�then�it�will�be�not�of�a�much�use�to�you.

he writer spider (Argiope aurantia) goes by several names: garden spider, writing spider, black and yellow garden spi-der, among others. Whatever you call them, they are both
creepy and pretty at the same time. This spider can be quite large and is usually found hanging in the center of her web, upside down, with legs together in pairs so it appears that there are only
four. The spider that you see in the center of the web is the female; the male is much smaller and he often hangs out near, or even in, her web once he finds her.
A particularly interesting unique thing to this genus of spiders is how they construct their web. They create a zigzag-looking design right in the middle where they hang out. This structure is called a ‘stabilimentum’ and its purpose is not certain. Some think it is to camouflage the spider from prey, and others think it is to make the web more visible from larger animals like birds and moths that could fly into the web and destroy it.
In the fall they lay eggs in one or more sacks that look like an onion bulb. She then dies with the first frost and the babies emerge in the spring and disperse to make their own webs. Now, you may be thinking that this is triggering something from your childhood. It should be! Charlotte from ‘Charlotte’s Web’ was a writer spider. Do you remember how her babies left when the wind caught a small bit of web that acted like a parachute? Well that’s really how they do it! Another piece of trivia about this spider is an old wives’ tale that I heard growing up. If you come across a writer spider’s web and see your name spelled in it... you’re doomed!
Well, ‘how are they beneficial?’ you ask. They eat bugs. They are fairly indiscriminate eaters, but do eat mosquitoes, flies and such. While they don’t dine specifically on problem insects like the aphid does, they are without doubt a great addition to your garden.
Their bite, by the way, is similar to a fire ant sting and they have to be severely harassed to actually bite you- they usually just drop out of their web to the ground.

uch�of�our�immediate�American�History�is�defined�by�the�evolution�of�the�automobile.�To�be�fair,�men�love�cars�and�trucks.�My�father�is�no�exception.
So�many�of�my�childhood�memories�involve�a�vehicle.�I�watched�my�dad�leave�in�them�for�work�and�return�at�the�day’s�end.�We�piled�in�for�fun�family�out-ings�and�he�spent�countless�hours,�it�seemed,�working�under�their�hoods.
My� father� had� a� ‘55� two-toned� green� Oldsmobile� when� he� and� my� mother�met�and�fell�in�love.�I�have�slivers�of��memories�of�his�‘63�blue�Chevy�that�got�stolen.�My� favorite�was�“Moon�Mullins,”�a� ‘63�red�stepside�Chevy� truck.�My�parents,�sister,�brother�and�I�squeezed�into� it� for�trips�to�our�“farm.”�Those�were�great�times�and�I�wish�he�still�owned�that�truck.�(Bella�Swan�would�have�loved�it.)
He�added�a�second�truck,�a�‘64�Chevy�he�called�the�“Green�Weenie.”�My�grand-est�memory�of�that�one�was�the�day�the�engine�stalled,�flooded�by�the�heavy�rains.�My�father�had�to�walk�back�home�in�his�business�suit,�carrying�his�brief-case.�Drenched,�approaching�the�front�door,�my�very�young�brother�greeted�him,�quoting�Bob�Dylan,�“Come�in,�I’ll�give�you�shelter�from�the�storm.”
As�kids,�we�loved�our�white�station�wagon�with�the�rear-facing�back�seat.�I�wonder,�though,�if�it�depressed�Dad�to�succumb�to�the�mini-van�of�the�1970’s?�
There�were�many�other�cars�through�the�years,�and,�yet,�there�were�several�I�thought�he’d�drive� into� the�ground�and�never�part�with.� In�high� school,�he� “let”�me�drive�his�‘72�Oldsmobile�Regency�98.�My�friend’s�dubbed�it�“The�Tank,”....and�that�it�was.�Perhaps� that� is� why� I� am� still� quite� comfortable� in� massive,� gas-guzzling� vehicles.�Having�kids�of�driving�age,�though,�I�can�appreciate�his�desire�to�put�my�sister�and�I�in�a�tank,�surrounded�by�heavy�steel.
Happy�Father’s�Day,�Dad.�Thanks�for�getting�me�here�and�there,�and�for�the�little�sil-ver�Mazda�truck�you�bought�me�out�of�college�that�is�long�gone�now.�Mostly,�though,�thanks�for�the�love�and�the�memories.�It’s�been�a�great�ride.�I�Love�you.

y�dad�has�owned�several�cars�in�his�life.�When�he�met�my�mom,�he�drove�a�shiny�black�’57�Ford;�a�very�impressive�car�to�a�young�lady�from�a�small�town��in�Alabama.�But�the�first�car�I�remember�our�family�owning�was�a�burgundy�
1966�Chrysler�Newport.�This�car�was�a�boat!�In�fact�when�I�drove�it�in�high�school,�it�was�lovingly�referred�to�as�the�S.S.�Haygood.
As�a�family,�we�went�everywhere�in�the�Chrysler�–�Six�Flags,�Stone�Mountain,�Disney�World,�Myrtle�Beach…�you�name�anywhere�in�the�south,�and�it�was�there.�For�me,�it�was�like�a�hotel�on�wheels.�Remember�in�those�old�cars�you�could�lay�in�the�back�window?�In�the�daytime�you�could�get�a�tan,�then�while�traveling�at�night�you�could�gaze�up�at�the�stars.�This�of�course�was�BEFORE�the�seat�belt�law.
My�dad�still�has� the�Chrysler� sitting� in�his�carport.� It�doesn’t� run,�but� the�exterior�paint�and�interior�are�in�good�condition.�In�fact,�it�looks�nearly�new�again�when�he�pushes�it�out�and�washes�it�off.�It�was�a�great�car�and�I�have�many�wonderful�memo-ries�from�it.
Happy�Father’s�Day�Dad�and�thank�you�for�filling�my�life�with�love,�happiness,�excit-ing�places�and�fun�memories.

ou�know�that�summer�is�hot.�You�also�know�when� you� need� to� get� out� of� the� sun� and�cool�down.� Listening� to� your�own�body� is�
easy,�but�your�four-legged�friends�can’t�talk�to�you.�It’s�your�job�to�protect�them�from�the�heat,�and�all�
of�the�consequences�of�summer,�by�providing�everything�that�they�need�to�stay�cool.
When�temperatures�climb�and�your�pets�are�panting�the�afternoons�away,�follow�these�tips�to�keep�them�safe�and�happy�even�on�the�hottest�of�days.
l� If� possible,� let� your� animals� come� inside� during� the�worst�heat�every�day.�Early�afternoon�is�the�hottest�time�of�day�for�any�living�thing:�letting�your�cats�or�dogs�soak�up�some�air�conditioning�for�a�few�hours�every�day�will�keep�them�cool�and�stop�your�worrying.
l�Make�sure�that�your�pets�have�access�to�shady�spots�at�all�times.�Trees�are�the�best�sources�of�protection�from�the�sun.�If�that�isn’t�possible,�make�sure�that�your�pet�can�get�under�a�covered�area,�such�as�a�patio�or�porch.
l�Keep�the�pet’s�water�supply�cool�and�fresh.�The�water�will�heat�up�as�the�day�passes,�so�either�change�the�dish�often�or�invest�in�an�auto-watering�system.�Many�models�attach�to�your�outdoor�water�faucet:�as�your�pet�depletes�the�water�supply,�the�system�adds�more�without�overflow-ing�or�making�a�mess.
