Elders' fear of falling may not be just a fear during the winter months.

As elders prepare for the winter months, sometimes the cold weather can be enough to slow  anyone down. Generally, if someone has fallen or injured themselves, they develop a fear of doing it  again. While it is okay to fear injury and make yourself aware of your surroundings, what most people  don’t realize is they will limit their physical activity more than just increasing their awareness. This in  turn can cause you to actually lose your muscles because “If you don’t use them you lose them!” Your  risk of falling is increased as your balance and mobility decrease. Some ways to stay active when it’s  cold outside is to exercise in your favorite chair at home or exercise at your kitchen counter. 

Some Tips for at home exercise: 
1.) Tai Chi videos  
2.) Use Strength Bands  
3.) Chair exercise videos (All available through the Injury Prevention Program) 
4.) Practice NOT holding on to furniture and the wall while walking through your house

 Many people are diagnosed with diabetes everyday. When first diagnosed some go through a  range of emotions.  Some experience anger, denial, or depression, while others refuse to let diabetes define them.  

Like everything we set our minds to and try to overcome, diabetes requires hard work and patience.  Just ask Cynthia White , Absentee Shawnee Tribal Member, about the changes she has made to help her control diabetes.  Here is her story...

This past month has been a very great month for all the health programs. We have be reorganizing some of the programs and adding a few more benefits for the tribal members. In the Shawnee Clinic, Dr. Walsh is a part time internal medicine physician who is slowly building up her practice. Because of this, there are many patients still waiting to get appointments and because of the need for another provider, we are going to add a full time physician in Shawnee. We are currently advertising for medical providers and hope to have someone hired by the end of the year. This will help to add more patients to the Shawnee location and have a full time medical provider in the Shawnee Clinic that help with the patient load currently being carried by Stacy Curtis, PA. Once we get a physician hired, we will make sure to announce this in the tribal newsletter.
