While we enjoy the last of winter's chilly days and nights, this is a good time for a good readÉand this issue of Senior Living has it all. We've gathered a kaleidoscope of stories about amazing seniors, fun things to do, health, romance and foodÑin short, something for everyone!
Learn about serious issues like high and low blood pressure, its causes, its treatment and how to prevent it. Also we tackle the subject of long-term care insurance, the best way to protect your assets from what can burgeon into huge medical bills from a nursing home stay. Medicare might not cover you, and long-term care insurance premiums can often be tax deductible. Read Phyllis Johnson's article on the benefits of heart surgery that's minimally invasive, where a heart surgeon works miracles "through seemingly impossible small incisions and achieves the same results without all the trauma of conventional surgery."
Whoever said "It's never too late to have a happy childhood" was right! Seniors are discovering fun, excitement, and exercise with interactive virtual reality games like Wii.
Romance isn't just for the young, it's also blossoming for the young-at-heart. Read about the amazing wedding of John and Lyda Arimond, and the romantic love story of Lance and Pam Scott. If you're about to tie the knot, you'll want to check out dream honeymoon ideas for mature newlyweds.
Positive energy is the trademark of Sissy Quinn, who shrugged off the easy life of retirement and transformed the Anna Maria Island Historical Society into a thriving museum attraction and historically recognized site.
