Hello Georgia RCPs, Future RCPs, Family and Friends of the Respiratory Profession:
I am very excited and yet humbled by the opportunity to serve as the President of the GSRC. I have been involved with the Board of Directors for the past 5 years, and I have found this group of engaged Therapist to be a breath of fresh air to me. These are like-minded people with a common goal of making this Society the best it can be.
I started out in the medical field as a Medic/EMT in the United States Air Force stationed in Louisiana. There I figured out what Respiratory was all about and decided to pursue it as a career. The local community college had a CRTT program taught by the Louisiana State University Professors in an adjunct role. I completed the program and acquired my CRTT credential and through some general coaxing by the professors I applied and was accepted into the Bachelor of Cardiopulmonary Science program at LSU. I completed this degree and my RRT and worked mainly Critical Care and NICU at LSU Medical Center. In those days, there were not enough of us to go around so we worked in all areas of the Medical Center. As such, I learned how to take care of all patients. I eventually found my way to Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Georgia. They recruited me to help in the NICU they were taking from a Level I to a Level II. I fully intended to start traveling after a year at Floyd however; along came the love of my life and told me I was staying in Rome with her. Here I am 19 years later with two boys, Cade 15 and Cason 13. I decided that I wanted to attempt to run the RT department myself. I pursued a Master's in Business to learn how to manage a business because that is what a department is within an organization. In 2008, I completed my MBA from the University of Phoenix, and I became the Director of Respiratory Care at Floyd Medical Center.
Change is going to remain the theme of my Presidency as was Jan's because we have to change in order to survive. We have a membership rate in the 33% range and this cannot stand if we want to have a powerful voice moving forward. Apathy is a likely cause for the low membership rate. I know working RT's can afford the $7.42 a month to be a member of the AARC, which automatically makes you a member of the GSRC. We also need more people to get involved in what is going on. We have so many bright people in our field, and we need their thoughts and ideas to help us make this a great organization.
We have seen states attempt to remove the RT license from their state, and it takes all of us speaking out for the safety of our patients to stop these types of legislative activities from occurring. We need our many voices to say, "We are here and this is what we do". The AARC is currently lobbying hard in Hollywood to have an RT character on a show or for the drug companies to use an RT in their advertisements on COPD. People need to know us and understand what we do for them and their loved ones who need us.
For those of you who are members, we challenge you to find your non-member colleagues and encourage them to join the GSRC. If you are a manager, we hope you are already a GSRC member and are able to support your staff. If you are interested in helping our Membership Committee, please let us know. If every member could give just one hour of their time to assist in our society we would have 32 hours of labor a week being done in the great state of Georgia.
In closing, I want to thank you for this opportunity to serve as your President, and I, along with the newly elected Board of Directors, will work to promote the Respiratory Care Profession within our state as well as our country.
Remember our Mission Statement is to "Inspire, Educate, Support, and Advocate for Respiratory Health."

I am sorry that your father and family have to go through this. I lost my mother 11 years ago to breast cancer and my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but died from the flu before treatment (he was 81). My sister now has colon cancer metastasized to her liver and is on her third chemo treatment. I just listened to a podcast on Jimmy Moore's site of an interview with Dr. Thomas Sayfried who is doing some amazing work with carb/calorie restriction and brain tumors. He made a rather amazing statement on the podcast that if everyone went on a complete fast for one week per year, there would be no cancer. Cancer cells thrive on sugar - deprive them and they die faster than your other cells because their mitochondria do not work properly. Might be worth a listen. My sister listened with me and while she is not going for the complete fast, she has cut out all carbs while going through this latest therapy. She has also started taking 6000 IU of Vitamin D3. Amazingly, her doctor told her that he didn't like patients to take supplements during chemo, ignoring the boatloads of research articles I printed for her to take to him about low Vit. D levels and cancer. I think people need to take control of their own health because they are not going to get much more than standard care from the medical community. Get educated about the treatments and be an advocate for your dad. It tends to be easier for a patient to just go with the flow and it's hard for them to stand up for themselves. My thoughts are with you - hang in there!

2016 movie box office: Third wide-release weekend actuals
2016 Obama's America, Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan's critique of U.S. president Barack Obama based on D'Souza's book The Roots of Obama's Rage, was the no. 3 movie at the North American box office on both Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 10-11. The 2016 movie added an estimated $1.04 million at 2,017 locations since Sunday for an estimated cume of $27.16 million after 61 days – about 20 of those in wide release – according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. [Photo: George Obama, Barack Obama's half-brother, talks with Dinesh D'Souza in 2016 Obama's America.]
This past weekend, Sept. 7-9, despite a 15 percent increase in number of venues and last week's Democratic National Convention, 2016 Obama's America was down a relatively steep 41 percent. As a result, D'Souza and Sullivan's 2016 movie's per-theater average plummeted another 50 percent (after tumbling 46 percent the previous weekend), down to a paltry $1,641 on the documentary's third weekend in wide release. [See also: "Henry Cavill & Bradley Cooper Movies: One of Worst Box-Office Weekends in More Than Two Decades."]
On the positive side, on both Monday and Tuesday, 2016 Obama's America had the highest per-theater average among the top twelve movies on the North American box office chart. Having said that, when putting those figures in context one realizes that's no major feat: The U.S. and Canada box office continues to be suffering from one of the weakest-performing crop of late-summer movies in years – possibly in a couple of decades (in number of tickets sold).
For instance, on Tuesday, the 2016 movie was tops – but with a meager $260 per-venue average, compared to Shia LaBeouf / Tom Hardy's Lawless' $242 and Ole Bornedal / Jeffrey Dean Morgan's The Possession's $238. That's a tiny gap, especially considering that Lawless is playing at 3,138 venues and The Possession at 2,834 locations vs. 2016 Obama's America's 2,017 venues. All things being equal, the lower the number of the theaters, the higher the per-theater average should be.
2016 Movie: Wide release likely to be downsized in near future
In all likelihood, exhibitors will start replacing 2016 Obama's America with something potentially more profitable within the next two weekends. Barring a miracle, expect the 2016 movie's actual weekend grosses and per-theater averages to go down dramatically.
Even so, Dinesh D'Souza and John Sullivan's documentary will surely end its run north of $30m, possibly around $35-36 million. That depends on how the 2016 movie will fare this coming weekend and the next. Either way, by next Sunday 2016 Obama's America should have surpassed Chimpanzee to become 2012's top non-fiction film at the North American box office.

Was the best part of this game Brent Johnson dominating in hostile territory? Was it the Pens' PP finally coming alive? Was it Crosby sucking? No. It was Mike Richards' meltdown after the game: ***BONUS FOOTAGE*** This clip from the media scrum was posted on the Flyers' website but quickly taken down. We grabbed it before it disappeared. Thanks to @rjlancia for this Ryan W., Grant H., Travis B., Nothing going on early. Rupp and Jody Shelley dance. Shelley's little left jabs were annoying. Pens got their first PP of the game when Jeff Carter throws a puck over the glass. Tangradi went off for 4 minutes when he gave Zherdev a stick in the face. Briere puts lifts in his skates and scores some goal. 1-0. The game was total crap, but then the Flyers had a miscommunication. Crosby sucks and passes it to Kunitz. Kunitz walks in all alone and buries it. 1-1. Top PS of the year right here. Right after that, Kimmo Timonen goes off for hooking. Pens on the PP. Period recap: Mike Richards sucks. Pens had like 7 powerplays early in the second period. Let's see how that turned out: Crosby goes for some tripping call. Pens kill it. It felt like it gave the Pens a little boost. The rest of the period was mud. It was a boring-ass game up to this point. Then Briere hits the post. Carter goes off for high-sticking. Test Tube does the dirty work. 2-1. Game. No more talk about goalie controversies for now. Because there isn't one. Brent Johnson has seen to that. He is starting Monday, or we start stealing Bylsma's newspapers.

No let up as rain soaks city; Man dies at Pallavaram
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 13th September 2013 07:34 AM
Last Updated: 13th September 2013 07:34 AM
While Chennaiites had a glimpse of sunshine on Thursday, the city received heavy showers after dusk, again throwing traffic out of gear in many areas.
Heavy rains, accompanied by lightning, lashed Ambattur, Anna Nagar and other western areas besides Nungambakkam and Choolaimedu, as well as the suburbs. Some parts of the city and the suburbs received rainfall till noon since Wednesday night.
According to the Meteorological Department, Chennai Airport and Tambaram received 3 cm rainfall. Chembarambakkam, Poonamallee, Poondi, Pallipattu, Ramakrishnarajupet, Red Hills, Thamaraipakkam, Tiruttani and Cholavaram in neighbouring Tiruvallur district and Sriperumpudur and Kancheepuram recorded 1 cm. The Regional Meteorological Centre forecast that it would be cloudy and rain or thundershowers would occur in some areas.
Meanwhile, a man was washed away in floods in the Adyar river, while he was making his way across a causeway at Gowl Bazaar near Pallavaram, which was inundated due to heavy rains on Wednesday.
The victim, Muthu (26), a truck driver, used the causeway to reach Gerugambakkam on the other side when he slipped and fell into the river, according to the police. A police officer said that due to strong currents, the body could have been washed away several kilometres.

I used to be mostly on time for things, but I found that people thought of me as always being late. My
friends and associates would joke mildly about this with me and I'd
get a little irked. I'd think to myself, "Do they have any idea
how busy I am? Do they know how much I fit into my day?"
Of course, I'd never say this. Everyone
knows it's poor form to claim to be busy, just as it's poor form to give excuses.
But I knew I was justified in being a little late once in a while. I mean, come on! Give me a break!
Then my viewpoint changed. Radically.
It was my friend Chris who changed my mind
by his example. He is chairman and CEO of a large public company. He
also does all kinds of other time-consuming, cool things, like flying his
own jet and piloting his boat to the Bahamas. And he is a member of a few civic organizations. I could
not suppose that I was busier than he, nor that I fit more things into my
life, yet I noticed over the years that he was always early for
I asked him about this and he said it was kind of a pilot thing. "Ask a pilot to be ready at 9:00 and he'll be
there at 7:30, checking on the plane and weather. It's just the way it's
done." And it's about respect, he said. "If you're late, you're saying
that your time is more important than mine."
This got me reflecting about my methods.
I saw that often when running late,
I would be reduced to fretting about traffic and driving aggressively
in order to shave a minute or two off the drive. Often I would be angry
with myself for being late and arrive harried. How much nicer it
was when I gave myself plenty of time. I'd be relaxed while
driving, thinking of other things or making phone calls. When I arrived early,
I would make good use of my time reading or just thinking in quiet
Being on time is "the courtesy of
winners," says the super-achieving editor and author Helen Gurley Brown.
There is almost no more important rule for professional success, she
advises in her book, I'm Wild Again. Unlike IQ, beauty or athletic skill,
being punctual is something you can control.
Nelson Mandela would be one of Helen�s
winners. In Long Walk to Freedom,
he writes: "I am a stickler about punctuality, not only because I

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie isn't letting pressure from critics influence how he picks his squad for the 2013 season.
It would have been easy to sign one of them for a small salary to appease the critics who say the Whitecaps don't care about fielding Canadian players, but Rennie has opted to send the trio of trialists packing after feeling they wouldn't help the club on the field.
Vancouver native Lensky has been training with the club for about six months after "retiring" twice from European clubs in recent years due to personal issues. As a left footed 24-year-old with experience in the Dutch Eredivisie, he looked like a player who would make a natural fit if both sides could agree to financial terms, but despite his extended time with the club, he didn't make the grade.
"We have helped him in terms of getting his fitness back and I think he has made quite a lot of progress," head coach Martin Rennie said of Lensky on Vancouver radio station TEAM 1410. "But we haven't seen that progress develop to the point where we really think he's going to make an impact on our roster."
The decision to boot Peters was perhaps less of a surprise – the former Canadian international and Ipswich Town winger showed up for camp looking a few pounds overweight.
That's never ideal for a professional athlete, especially one trying out for Rennie, who expects attitude and a professional approach to personal fitness from each of his players.
"He came in a little bit unfit and he has developed in that regard, but we didn't see him quite getting back to the level that we know he was at before," Rennie said. "That made it difficult for him."
Fresenga is perhaps the player fans will be most disappointed to see go – he looked a star against Brek Shea during Canada's ultimately unsuccessful London 2012 Olympic qualifying campaign, but carried an injury in preseason which never allowed him to show off his full capabilities.
"Difficult one because he was injured for part of the preseason camp," Rennie said of the decision to take a pass on Fresenga. "But we have seen him play and we have been able to evaluate him based on the opinions of people at the Canadian national team and other things like that and obviously our own decisions."
Ultimately, Rennie felt the trio wouldn't make the team better – so their place of birth wasn't relevant.
"That's the thing that makes it even more difficult," Rennie said of making the cuts. "This offseason has seen so much time and energy spent trying to add Canadians to the roster, from all different levels – from younger players to veteran players.
"So far we've not managed to do as well as we would like there, but we are pleased with the progress we're seeing from some of the Canadian players within our system, so that's encouraging. But at the same time we have to build the strongest team that we can, and we have to do that regardless of where the players come from."
Victoria native Simon Thomas, who came up through the Whitecaps residency program before playing in England for a season, remains on trial, as does 22-year-old Mississauga native Evan James, who played with the Montreal Impact in 2012.
The pair recently received their first two senior caps for Canada against Denmark and the United States, with Thomas keeping a clean sheet against the U.S. in a 0-0 draw.
So, there's still hope for some more Canadian flavour on this Whitecaps squad – and if either of those two make it, we know it will be because they're good enough to make a difference.

March 11, 2011 (Coal Geology) Following are experts who can discuss various aspects of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck Japan and consequent tsunami preparation, expectations and impact for Hawaii, the U.S. West Coast and 19 other countries. We will be updating this list on our social networking site, ProfNet Connect: http://prn.to/quakeexperts
**1. George Bradt, managing director of PrimeGenesis, the leading executive onboarding and transition acceleration consulting firm, can discuss how to prepare a disaster response plan, the steps to effectively react to a crisis, and how to improve capabilities to respond to future crises. His analysis can be broken down into three steps: 1) Prepare in advance: There is a finite set of the most likely, most devastating types of crises and disasters that are worth preparing for. Think them through. Run the drills. Capture the general lessons so people can apply them flexibly to the specific situations they encounter. 2) React to events: The reason you prepared is so that you all can react quickly and flexibly to the situation you face. Don't over-think this. Do what you prepared to do. 3) Bridge the gaps: In a crisis, there is inevitably a gap between the desired and current state of affairs. Rectify that by bridging those gaps in the: a) situation — implementing a response to the current crisis; b) response — improving capabilities to respond to future crises; and c) prevention — reducing the risk of future crises happening in the first place. News Contact: Ryan Bartholomew, email@example.com Phone: +1-908-276-4344, ext. 221
**2. Brady Cox, assistant professor of civil engineering at the University of Arkansas, can discuss damage to buildings and infrastructure due to the earthquake in Japan. A geotechnical engineer, Cox specializes in issues related to earthquake loading, soil dynamics and material characterization, and response to stress waves. Cox documented construction failures and collected additional data on the devastating effects of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. He traveled to that country as a member of Geo-Engineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER), a national organization that partners with the National Science Foundation to conduct reconnaissance efforts of extreme events such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides. Cox is familiar with earthquake activity and impact in Japan, as he participated in a GEER deployment immediately following the 2008 earthquake in Iwate-Miyagi. Cox's research has focused on the development of a new test method for directly measuring the dynamic-pressure response and behavior of liquefiable soil deposits. He currently operates a Vibroseis shaker truck as part of his earthquake and dynamic material characterization research. He is a member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Arkansas Governor's Earthquake Advisory Council.

**5. John Lyons, a Ph.D. student in geophysics at Michigan Technological University whose research focuses on earthquakes, can offer scientific context for earthquake/tsunami stories: "The strong tsunami and damaging shaking are due to the shallow depth of the earthquake and the earthquake's mechanism, which is classified as a thrust-type earthquake due to the Pacific plate subducting beneath the Eurasian plate. Japan is one of the world leaders in earthquake science and engineering and one of the most earthquake-resistant countries in the world, due to strong scientific and governmental efforts. However, despite these efforts, it is still impossible to predict where and when powerful earthquakes will strike, which is why education and earthquake disaster prevention research is so important. The earthquake location reported by the USGS places the depth at 15 miles (24 km) below the surface, which is very shallow and caused a large, damaging tsunami. The tsunami swept miles inland and reached 33 feet (10 m) high in some of the most affected areas. A tsunami warning has been issued for the entire Pacific basin by the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, including the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada. The waves recently passed through the Hawaiian Islands, with the largest waves reported along the coast of Maui over five feet. Waves over six feet (2 m) have been predicted for areas of Oregon and Washington and evacuations in low-lying coastal areas are under way." News Contact: Jennifer B. Donovan, firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: +1-906-487-4521 Website: http://www.mtu.edu/news

**11. Ken Davey, senior vice president for the Asia-Pacific market for FM Global, one of the world's largest global commercial property insurers with significant presence in Asia, is available for stories focused on business continuity, impact on supply chain and natural disaster preparedness. He and other FM Global experts can also offer insights on the financial implications of such a large disaster for the global insurance industry. Eight of the world's 10 largest cities are prone to earthquakes and the chance one will occur and cause significant damage somewhere along any global company's supply chain is considerably high. For 175 years, many of the world's largest organizations have turned to FM Global for insurance and engineering solutions derived from FM Global's scientific research on protecting business operations from fire, natural disasters and other types of property risk. Today, this includes recreating earthquakes and other natural disasters in its state-of-the-art, 72,000-square-foot natural disaster laboratory. The research leads to engineering solutions that help reduce damage from natural disasters and, in many cases, stop damage from happening in the first place.

|The Information Security Office published Guidelines for Data Protection in support of the University's Information Security Policy to set baseline requirements for the protection of institutional data based on its classification.
During 2015 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), ISO is publishing four articles to raise awareness of:
Data Classification
Data classification organizes institutional data into categories based on level of sensitivity, value and criticality to the University if the data be disclosed, altered or destroyed without authorization.
Carnegie Mellon classifies institutional data into three categories: public, private and restricted. It is the responsibility of Data Stewards to classify their data. It is important to know the type of data you interact with to understand your role in the protection of this data.
Information on Guidelines for Data Classification is published at http://www.cmu.edu/iso/governance/guidelines/data-classification.html.
A list of Data Stewards for critical data types can be found at http://www.cmu.edu/iso/governance/roles/data-steward-matrix.html .
Identity Finder
Right now, social security numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, passwords, and other highly sensitive personal information may be sitting idly on your computer leaving you and your family exposed to identity theft. You may not be able to find all the places it's hidden, but hackers and thieves know where to look.They have developed viruses, spyware, back doors and other malicious code to steal this information.
Anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam don't offer in-depth searching to protect you and your family. Identity Finder goes deep, searching the computer to locate and secure sensitive data - even when you don't know it exists.
More information:http://www.cmu.edu/computing/security/idfinder/index.html
EDUCAUSE Video "Data Privacy"
EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology, and SANS have developed a Data Privacy awareness for colleges and universities to raise awareness about the protection of sensitive data.
EDUCAUSE Webinar "Creating a CyberAware Culture"
|EDUCAUSE Live! Webinar on "Creating a CyberAware Culture"
EDUCAUSE Live! is a series of free, hour-long interactive webinars on critical information technology topics in higher education. In observance of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, EDUCAUSE offered a free Webinar on October 7, by Michael Kaiser from National Cyber Security Alliance, and Allison Oslund from Texas A&M University, on Creating a CyberAware Culture at 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET. Registration was open to all university faculty, staff and students.

Canucks 4, Blue Jackets 1
Bruins 2, Flyers 1
Predictions record: 2-2
My 3 stars of the night:
1. Chris Higgins, VAN (2 Goals, 1 Assist)… Higgins had his best game yet with Vancouver when he picked up three points in Columbus.
2. Marc-Andre Fleury, PIT (37 Saves, 1 GA)
3. Tim Thomas, BOS (27 Saves, 1 GA)
Tonight's Slate:
Blackhawks @ Red Wings, 7:30 ET
Avalanche @ Ducks, 10:00
Game of the Night:
Chicago Blackhawks @ Detroit Red Wings
Overall: Blackhawks (40-26-8) … Red Wings (44-22-9)
Last Ten: Blackhawks (5-3-2) … Red Wings (5-3-2)
Away/Home: Blackhawks (17-11-8) … Red Wings (20-12-5)
Season Series: 2-1 Blackhawks
Players to watch:
CHI- Marian Hossa
With Sharp out, Chicago needs Hossa to be on his A-game down the stretch.
DET- Henrik Zetterberg
Zetterberg has been a point-per-game player in his career vs. Chicago.
Projected Goaltenders:
CHI- Corey Crawford (2010/11 stats: 29-15-5, 2.27 GAA)
DET- Joey MacDonald (2010/11 stats: 5-4-2, 2.05 GAA)
Injury Report:
CHI- Jimmy Howard (upper body, doubtful), Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen (lower body, questionable), Chris Osgood (groin, out)
DET- Patrick Sharp and Jordan Hendry (knee, out), Dave Bolland (concussion, out)
Game Thoughts:
Original Six rivals, Chicago and Detroit, meet for the fourth time this season. Their final two games will be a home-and-home on the last weekend of the season. The banged-up Red Wings welcome in the Blackhawks, who are suddenly fighting for their playoff lives. Chicago has the last two meetings and will be playing desperate hockey. If MacDonald is net for Detroit, I think the 'Hawks will be able to grab two huge points.
Prediction: Blackhawks 3, Red Wings 2
The rest of tonight's predictions:
Ducks over Avalanche

Onondaga-Cortland-Madison Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) kept approximately $1 million of surplus money without clearly disclosing this information to member school districts, according to a state audit released Thursday.
"By doing this, OCM BOCES didn't give the districts a say in how the reserve money was spent, according to the audit, conducted by state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli's office.
"Transparency is the hallmark of good government," DiNapoli said. "In tough fiscal times, when every dime counts, school districts and taxpayers are entitled to a say in how their money is spent. A million dollars could provide significant tax relief. This BOCES needs to be more open about its finances."
Jessica Cohen, OCM BOCES superintendent, said BOCES officials disagree with the finding that they didn't properly inform districts about the surplus.
"The audit gives the impression that BOCES hid information from its member districts when nothing could be further from the truth," she said. BOCES routinely informed superintendent and business officials about the reserves at monthly meetings with its member districts.
However, Cohen said BOCES will follow the audit's recommendations and will now ensure written records are provided of these discussions. BOCES also will make sure any action relating to reserves is reviewed by legal counsel.
In addition, the audit found BOCES overfunded its employee benefit and accrued liability reserve fund by $2.3 million and established a workers compensation reserve without legal authority.
While municipal law allows for workers' compensation reserve funds to be set up for school district, the law is silent when it comes to BOCES. BOCES officials believe this may be a legislative oversight, and plan to seek legislative action to allow BOCES to establish a legal workers' compensation reserve.
The audit also recommended BOCES stop using its reserve fund to pay post-employment health insurance premiums. BOCES said in also will seek legislation action to permit this use, and if it's not permitted will stop the practice.

Pantry Organizing
I wish I had a pantry. Apparently they weren't very popular until the 90s when people started cooking again…thanks Wikipedia. Anyway, I love this organization, and even though all my food is in cupboards, I could stand to be a little more organized. If you're not in love with your food organization system, check out this cool pantry from Domestic Imperfection and create some kitchen bliss of your own.

Lately I have been reading a book by a Harvard researcher, CounterClockwise: Mindful health and the Power of Possibility. Dr. Ellen Langer studies aging, and how our beliefs about aging contribute to the physical experiences we attribute to aging – vision loss, stiffness, memory fuzziness among others.
One aspect of her work has caught my attention as I think of my patients and the CreakyJoints community – the effect of variability. Dr. Langer contrasts the tension between stability and variability. She notes that as humans we crave things being stable and unchanging. Once we get to a certain state we don't want it to be different. This is as true with our health as with our finances. We don't like or welcome constant change. Another consequence of this preference for stable states is that we tend to judge ourselves and others by stable categories. You are either sick or well. You are young or old. Rich or poor. You have RA or you don't. These categories work for research studies, but they don't translate as well in real life.
Dr. Langer demonstrates in her studies that thinking of one's self in categories has a detrimental effect on overall health.
She writes, "Consider what life would be like if we gave up the idea of healthy or sick – zero minus one – and replaced it with the idea of multiple continua. One minute, for example, we might score 60% on one health dimension, 30 % on another and perhaps 85% on yet a third. How would that change our lived experience? First, we could still feel empowered because we would recognize that much of our body is still working just fine. Second, it is easier to try to "fix" a smaller problem (60 percent healthy) than a big one ( 100 percent sick). Third we would have many more people to whom we might compare ourselves and thereby potentially find more solutions to our health. If you have only 30 percent of the problem and have found a solution, maybe it could work for me at 60 percent. That's a lot easier to imagine than in the all-or-none world in which we currently find ourselves." ( p.79-80).
A continuum of health dimensions instead of all-or-none. What would you like to pay attention to in your own health evaluation?
Dr. Langer stresses a mindful attention to our own bodies and their particular symptoms, strengths and reactions. She advocates paying mindful attention to how we feel – and trusting our own feelings, noticing our well-functioning body parts as well as the more problematic ones, and factoring that into an ongoing assessment.
Then your experience of your illness won't look like mine – and may not look like anyone else's. My description of my body won't look like another's – and in that variability is our strength and potential.
In the next weeks I will write more about how she suggests we practice this mindful attention, and how we might apply it to the life of living with chronic illness. If you run across her book, take a look and let me know what you think and how it applies to your life.

Baggage that Lingers On
By Heather Millar
Most cancer patients I know have an all-too-detailed sense of the toll that their disease and treatment takes on those who love and care for them. For most of us, asking for help is one of the most difficult things to do.
And we cancer patients need so much help: help with the household to keep the groceries and laundry and bills from veering out of control, help keeping our spirits up when things are scary or we're miserable from treatment, help getting to appointments, help remembering things, help with finances if lost income is a problem, help with some of the simplest tasks.
I'll never forget how solicitous my daughter Erin was when I spiked a fever during chemo and we thought I might have to go to the emergency room. She was not quite 10, but she suddenly became the mother, taking my temperature, getting me water, cuddling in bed with me.
During those same days, my husband Pete never complained when I asked him to do something I could have done for myself. By bedtime during chemo, I was usually so tired that I just couldn't face getting out of bed to count out the zillion pills that I had to take. I don't know why I never put them in a pill organizer. I just didn't, and my husband good-naturedly counted them out each night.
I had, I have, so many people to thank: Friends who set up a collection so that we could afford some take-out and housecleaning. A friend who drove me to early-morning radiation treatments. Friends who flew from New York to take care of me. I could go on and on.
Then, eventually, the cycle of treatment ends. Many things remind us patients that we've just been to hell and back: Perhaps it's the peach fuzz on a head as hair regrows, or fingernails that are still weak and cracking a year after treatment, the lingering fatigue that may take years to resolve, the moods that may not be as even as they were before cancer intruded.
As we try to weather treatment and then rebuild our lives, it's easy to forget that our caregivers also have to work at recovering. A couple of things have recently reminded me that my family still struggles to make sense of the cancer experience.
Last week, I had a 6-month oncology check-up. My nurse practitioner says she's concerned about a small lesion on my left breast, not far from the lumpectomy scar. She refers me to a dermatologist. It's probably nothing, I told my husband that night.
But he asks me again and again that night, "Are you OK? Are you really OK? You'd tell me if you weren't OK, right?"
He is asking himself as much as he is asking me.
A couple of nights before that, I picked up my daughter from her girls' chorus rehearsal. We were joking around and I said flippantly, "Well, it's not like I'm going to DIE or anything."
My 10-year-old suddenly looked very, very serious. "I don't want to talk about that," she said gravely.
Later that night, I found her glued to YouTube, tears streaming, as she watched, again and again, a video about a Japanese Akita who waited for his master at the train station every day, even after the master died suddenly.
Note to self: No more death jokes. And don't forget that you're not the only one that carrying that cancer baggage. The caregivers' load is heavy, too.
