"Blessing Box Cottage," is a community of families, people. Health is a major concern for everyone. It is our hope that this page will be of assistance. Over the years, after working in health care for more than 30 years, it has come to my attention that people have questions, so.....hopefully we can find what you are seeking answers to and share it, if you know of any good excellent medical sites with info, please e-mail them to us. SpiritWalker@blessingboxcottage.org
We will do our best to provide what is out there, and some of the newest equipment for ADL's(activites of daily living). God Bless.
Sometimes the fear of the unknown causes fear......information helps.....than the battle begins.......meet it head on, and fight hard, but remember to just live one day at a time...........

Ok, Ladies......you know how to take charge of your health care....when we are sick we go to the doctor. Guess we need to kick start all the rest of the human species.......
1. good diets(real food;veggies,fruit,meat)
2. exercise (even if a slow walk)
3. sleep
All of this is basically common sense, but ask your doctor for info and recommendations.
FYI.......expired, outdated meds are dangerous and can change the chemistry of the med, pitch it......ask your pharmacy and doctors recommendations
You must follow the label on all meds, if the script says finish the bottle, than do it. Super bugs are invading us, some of it is caused from not finishing that antibotic taking all of it, than the bugs come back and sometimes they may be resistant to the med.
Ok Guys.....consider this to be your official" kick start".....
Your body is a machine, just like your car, motorcycle....it has to be maintained, just like your car.......get brakes fixed, routine oil changes........etc. So getting a physical is like getting your oil changed, spark plugs changed, etc. It also has to be exercised, cruising, even if just a stroll, I am sure after awhile your, "speed" will pick up, after all you are the experts putting the pedal to the metal. Your body (car) also needs quality fuel (food) and just as you would not put faulty parts or bad oil in the car, you cannot your body either. Also the spare car (wife) is not responsible for what you put in the gas tank, you are, you are accountable for it and you will be the one whom suffers the consequences. The Spare Car fixes balanced meals, but she cannot eat it for you. So be accountable for your maintence. It takes more strength, to take care of your health, than not doing it, takes alot of strength there is nothing,"sis" about it. Listen to your body if it is not performing right get it taken care of, doctors will discuss anything with you, just as a mechanic would, but both don't know if you do not tell them. Now have a good life cruise.
