Happy Thanksgiving!
We are publishing a day early this week with Thanksgiving being Thursday, our usual day. We will be back on the regular Thursday schedule next week. A healthy, safe holiday for all!
Balance Exercises
Some helpful, safe exercises to improve our balance from Bob and Brad, two popular Physical Therapists. If you have any pre-existing conditions or issues you are concerned about, please consult your physician before performing these exercises. There are some ads in the video. SHSH has no affiliation with these advertisers and receives no income for publishing this video.
Buying a Home Blood Pressure Monitor
Following up on Dr. Leslie Kernisans’ information on home blood pressure monitors the last two weeks, here are two articles to help you purchase the correct BPM for you. The Cleveland Clinic cites the specifications you should address in making your selection and Consumer Reports lists information about the most popular BPM’s for 2023.
Hospital At Home
We have addressed this before and it is appearing more and more in health care publications along with articles about the growth of home health care. This seems to be the trend, performing more procedures in the home, rather than in the hospital, with recovery in the home as well. There is a lot here in this article from the Commonwealth Fund but if you have some time this holiday weekend, it is interesting reading that will help prepare us for the future.
And One More Thing
WTTW provides us with an extensive list of Holiday events here in the Chicago area this season. As the season progresses, we will update you with any new information about other events that is provided.
