After Surgery Caregivers Help Those Needing Care Post Surgery

With the average age of the population rising, it's not uncommon to hear reports of family members and friends scheduled for surgery. Treatment for pain after surgery depends on the type of pain you're experiencing. As people don't like to opt for medication based pain reliefs, it may be helpful to look into homeopathic or natural remedies. Some options are:

Nerve-related pain may be treated with over-the-counter or prescription pain medications, including painkillers or medications used to treat seizures. Local anesthetics may also help relieve pain due to nerve damage.

Inflammation of the skin may be treated with topical pain medications, such as capsaicin, which has been effective in treating jabbing pain.

Muscle spasms have been effectively treated with injections of Botox, the same substance used to reduce wrinkles.

Alternative therapies including acupuncture, acupressure, transcutaneous nerve stimulation, relaxation training, biofeedback, hypnosis and yoga also may be of benefit in reducing pain. Talk with your doctor about what may offer you the most relief.

Having fun at Two Palms Nursing Home in Pasadena

On Monday, a group of people from the A-1 Home Care/ A-1 Domestic Professional Services corporate family took a trip to Two Palms Nursing Center to have a day of activities and fun with the seniors for holiday crafts.

We made a lot of cool, new friends. Apparently, there was a lot of artistic talent in our midst, because we saw an amazing turnout, and lots of beautiful, glittery art pieces come from the minds of these elderly Michelangelos.

This is Verne, who was a talker. He told us stories about his exciting life as an airplane mechanic, and funny anecdotes about living on a farm with 10 brothers and sisters.

We were so happy to get the opportunity to interact and play with the people living at the center. After the hour was up, there were reluctant protests from seniors who wanted to continue decorating! We were super flattered, and had a hard time cleaning up to go.
