We are joined this week by Connie Page, Certified Trust and Probate Specialist, and Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist! "Though I do traditional real estate transactions—my personal focus is on Seniors, Trust and Probate real estate matters. Creating a plan for the family, and being part of the process, instead of the last call to sell property is what I excel at—the network of service providers I have makes me the first stop to find the right resource for the families needs. With 35 years of experience, I bring an unusual depth of knowledge of both lending and real estate to my client's side of the transaction. Being an avid advocate, counselor and masterful negotiator with a dash of pit bull is what makes me love what I do, all with a servant leader's heart. My goal is to change people's perspective of my industry one person at a time by providing 'Client-centric' service, putting the needs of the clients and their families first. Sometimes therapist, sometimes friend, but always professional, thorough and compassionate." Join us as we explore how Connie is providing much-needed services to the Flathead Valley and beyond, helping her clients navigate the trust and probate administration process.

"The receptionist at the doctor's office gives you a sheaf of papers to fill out. As the air-conditioning repairman leaves, he hands you a contract. In a spa's waiting room, you're asked to sign an agreement before your Swedish massage. All this may be presented as routine paperwork — no big deal. But the consequences of filling out forms and signing your name could be very big indeed. You might be weakening your privacy, giving up legal rights or agreeing to prices and charges you never dreamed you'd have to pay. So what should you do before taking pen in hand?

"If the dog's mere presence provides comfort, it is not a service animal under the ADA. But if the dog is trained to perform a task related to a person's disability, it is a service animal under the ADA. For example, if the dog has been trained to sense that an anxiety attack is about to happen and take a specific action to help avoid the attack or lessen its impact, the dog is a service animal" (ADA.gov).

"Sandra was distraught. In addition to experiencing grief following her father's death, she was haunted by fears that she had 'killed him' by agreeing to use morphine to control his pain near the end of his life. “He never woke up after we started the morphine. It was only a couple days until he died” (Today's Geriatric Medicine). The gut-reaction to the suggestion of morphine (in a controlled medical setting) is oftentimes negative. However, "Morphine is a standard, and often the best, medication for keeping terminally ill patients comfortable [. . .] Having a drug available to treat those symptoms is critical in keeping individuals comfortable” (Today's Geriatric Medicine).

"To have a migraine brain is to have a highly reactive brain that does not respond well to changes in light, temperature, sound or even smell. Anything that triggers this increased sensitivity can cause your brain to start zipping off pain signals. The headache can last up to 72 hours, but the full duration of an attack may be a week. For some, there is no headache at all, but other symptoms — flashes of light or bright spots, loss of sight, nausea, numbness or tingling — can mimic alarming, ER-worthy conditions" (AARP). We don't know about you, but ^that^ sounds pretty awful! This week is all all about the dreaded migraine! Join us as we discuss causes, symptoms, and available treatments to help you or your aging loved one cope with these massive headaches.

"The spinal cord sends and receives signals between the brain and the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury often causes permanent changes in strength, feeling and other body functions below the site of the injury. People who have had a spinal cord injury also may experience mental, emotional and social side effects. Many scientists are optimistic that advances in research will someday make repair of spinal cord injuries possible. Research studies are ongoing around the world.
