FOR SENIOR CITIZENS-TIPS TWENTY FOR HAPPINESS IN PLENTY.

Eyes dont see what the mind doesn't,is a dictum in medical world &is applicable to all walks of life.The following tips are given so that senior citizens can take adeqate precaution towards a peaceful,pleasurable,&painless longivity as they go nearer to the fag end of their life.
1)stair case steps:allways beware. you may fall down if you are careless.many people got their bones broken,or got a heart attack,on the stair case.
2)bath room:This is also a suitable place for fractures, dislocations, heart attaks.take care.
3)road crossing :.extreme caution required as you are old,weak physically,hypertensive diabetic,.transient ischaemic attacks(giddiness due to brain blood vessel blocks)cross road only at pedestrian/zebra crossing/ along with other people.
4)avoid travelling alone.
5)never take the risk of going out at night,specially alone.no help will reach you at night,
6)beware of saterday, sunday, holiday.-Availability of medical fecility is least on these days.Many heart attacks are said to occur on these days.
7)Avoide lifting young kids--you may drop them.
8)No alcohol except in your own room.Keep a calling bell in your room,to call others in the house when you are in need of medical help,like chest pain.
9)Amnesia:forgetfulness..you may repeatedly take same medicine due to forgetfulness.If you take anti diabetic drugs repeatedly your blood sugar can come down &you may become unconscious.your doctor can suggest a good solution.
10)Keep your identity allways in your pocket,including phone numbers.
11)Keep instructions in writing in case of eventuality for others to take appropriate action
12)Keep mouth dissolving monosorbitrates allways in pocket.ONE tablet to be kept under the tongue if you get chest pain,unexplainable sweatings ,sudden left shoulder left arm pain-lightning in nature.IF YOU CAN AFFORD KEEP A DOMESTIC DEFIBRILLATOR.Many rich people succumb to heart attacks within minutes.These people may be the bread winner or their serv ices are required at any cost.the concept of domestic defibrillators in well to do families are not yet in vogue, in India..I am sure many precious lives could be saved if only this machine is available within minutes.When a man gets heart attack ,there is no pulse,& no respiration cadio-pulmonary resucitation,(external cardiac massage will be 100% useless.It is a futile attempt &waste of time.D.C Shock(defibrillation)through defibrillator is one &only choice &many times it was found to be successful,in reviving the man or woman.consult your doctor who may appraise you in great detail.Rotary/Lion's clubs can organise this concept.I am willing to do the spade work,if requested.
13)Wheezing in a non asthmatic may be a sign of heart problem(All that glitters are not gold, all that wheezes are not asthma).call for the ambulance quick.
14)Black out experience,may be an indicator of heart attack,or brain blood vessel block,or low or high blood sugar or low or high blood pressure.Call ambulance.
15)Physical exercise is a must till the last day however less it could be.
16)Avoid self driving at nights,specially after alcohol,tranquillisers.
17)Better to have a dog companion depending on living conditions
18)Try to keep half stomach instead of full stomach at nights(heart attacks more in full stomach)
19)Never enter into emotional encounters.YOU CAN NOT CORRECT THE WORLD. DONT POINT OUT OTHERS MISTAKES.YOUR OWN KITH &KIN MAY BOYCOT YOU.
20)KEEP GOOD BANK BALANCE LEST YOU LOOSE RESPECT FROM OTHERS,,INCLUDING YOUR OWN CHILDREN .
