The Colorado Avalanche set the tone early, and while Montreal got a couple goals back late in the 3rd period, this one was well in hand as the Avs got game one of their road trip under their belt with a 8-4 win over the Canadiens. There wasn't much negative you could take away from the game, except another Avalanche injury. Artuuri Lehkonen, in his first game back in Montreal after being traded to the Avs, had two goals and an assist in less than 10 minutes of ice time. Why did he have less than 10 minutes of ice time you ask? Because his second goal he deflected off his hand which resulted in him breaking his finger. He is headed back home to Denver for surgery and will hopefully be ready for the playoffs. Now the Avs have to take all the good from this one and bring as much as they can with them for their next matchup with the Toronto Maple Leafs. We break it all down! So subscribe and enjoy!

Hey Medicare Nation! Millions of people are diagnosed with "Foot Drop." Some people also call it......"Drop Foot." Help A Child or Adult Walk Again! Either way, Foot Drop is a serious matter! Foot Drop is a weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot, necessary for walking. Foot Drop causes a person to drag the foot and toes, or engage in a high-stepping walk called a steppage gait. Foot Drop Increases the risk of falling.   Who Can Be Diagnosed With Foot Drop? Men or Women, at any age. What are some causes of Foot Drop? Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Paulsy, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injurey, Spinal Cord Injuries, and other injuries to the Peroneal Nerve in the leg.  Viruses can cause Foot Drop as well as other infections. Injuries to the leg and/or the lower back can also cause Foot Drop. What is a WalkAide? A WalkAide is a Functional Electrical Stimulation Device, when wore on the calf, sends electric impulses to the affected foot causing the foot and leg to lift.  Where Can I get information on WalkAides? Go to the Hanger Clinic website: https://goo.gl/9UuX7Y Are Other Types of FES Devices Available? Yes. The Bioness L300 is also available. Go to the Bioness Website for more information. https://goo.gl/FMXr5i Who are the Freedom to Walk Foundation? The Freedom to Walk Foundation is a 5019c)3 non-profit, dedicated to assisting with funds for the purchases of WalkAides for children AND Adults diagnosed with Foot Drop due to: * Multiple Sclerosis *Cerebral Palsy * Stroke * Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury * Traumatic Brain Injury If you want more information about the Freedom to Walk Foundation, go to their website: FreedomToWalkFoundation.org Go To 6th Annual Freedom to Walk Foundation GALA

Hey Medicare Nation! Do you know what "Drop Foot" is? Foot Drop is a weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot necessary for walking. It causes a person to drag the foot and toes, or engage in a high-stepping walk called a "steppage gait." This increases the risk of falling for individuals.  There are about 70,000 people diagnosed with Food Drop in the State of Florida alone! I have teamed up with the Freedom to Walk Foundation, to assist them in raising funds for the purchase of WalkAides. WalkAides are electronic stimulating devices when worn on the calf, sends electric impulses to the affected foot, causing the muscles to contract and lift the foot and leg. Children and adults are WALKING agian with the help of WalkAides! The one major problem, is that most medical insurance companies don't cover WalkAides. Medicare will only cover WalkAides for those diagnosed with "Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury." Those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebal Palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injuries and complete spinal cord injuries, are not covered by most insurance companies. How can you help? A WalkAide costs $5,000 to purchase. A $5.00 or more donation to the Freedom to Walk Foundation will help children and adults purchase WalkAides. Please be considerate and donate with your heart! www.FreedomtoWalkFoundation.org/donate Thank You! NEW MEDICARE CARDS are being mailed now.

HANG UP THE PHONE ON THEM!             If someone calls and says they are from your Medicare Advantage Plan…. Ask them a few questions to make sure they are legit. Ask them these questions:   How much is my current premium for my Medicare Plan? If they are from your Medicare Insurance Plan….they should know the answer!   Ask them who your Primary Doctor is. Again……they should have that information documented.   Finally……if you are still unsure of who you are talking to…..HANG UP! Call the customer service number on the back of your Medicare Insurance Plan card and when a representative answers……ask them if they just contacted you.
