 NEW Medication Disposal Made Easy

Relatively few people are aware

of the significance of prescription
drug and alcohol abuse among
older adults. While those over 65
years of age make up only 12%
of the current population, they
use 1/3 of all prescription drugs
and nearly 1/2 of medications
purchased are over the counter.
Prescription and over-the-counter Sheriff Ken Campbell and
(OTC) drug abuse is a serious BCSSI Executive Director

 Cataracts and Macular Degeneration
Submitted by Lacy Boggs, OD
I realized
several
years ago
that every
patient
commonly
asks about
two different
conditions--cataracts and macular
degeneration. In a two part series, I
will attempt to answer some
questions about these ocular health
issues that might cause problems
for some of you. First, the simple
definition of a cataract is a yellowing
of the lens inside of the eye. Many
times, eye care professionals refer
to the eye as a camera. Just like in
a camera, a normal eye has a lens
which is very clear that allows for
the eye to focus. When cataracts
develop, the lens in the eye
becomes yellow and opaque, and
therefore vision seems hazy,
cloudy, and/or blurry. It may take a
few weeks to a few months or
sometimes even a few years to
6
cause vision to become bothersome,
but regular eye exams can detect
the early formation of cataracts.
Once the cataract is affecting your
vision, your eye care professional
may refer you to a surgeon to
remove the cataract. This is a rather
simple procedure where two small
incisions are made in the eye, the
cataract is removed, and then a
clear implant is placed in the eye.
The eye heals quickly and will be
fully healed within a few weeks.
Sometimes blurry vision can also be
caused by other conditions, so
always call your eye care
professional with any slow or quick
changes to vision, or check for any
other problems. Check back in the
July/August issue of the Sr. Sounds
to learn more about wet and dry
macular degeneration!

ARE YOU A CAREGIVER IN NEED OF SUPPORT?
By Jayne Brickey
Participant of the BCSSI Caregiver Support Group
A Caregiver may be a spouse,
son, daughter, neighbor, close
friend or distant relative, young
or old, who generally gives up
personal time and makes
sacrifices in their own lives to
provide emotional and physical
care and support to an elderly or
ill parent, spouse or friend.
During the
years I
cared for
my mother,
I wore
“many
hats”- wife,
mother, grandmother, sister and
last but not least, a full time
employee, and I didn’t want to
admit to anyone that I might be
experiencing one or more of the
symptoms of “Caregiver Stress”.
The Caregiver may experience:
1) Denial; 2) Anger;
3) Social Withdrawal; 4) Anxiety;
5) Depression; 6) Exhaustion;
7) Sleeplessness; 8) Irritability;
13
9) Lack of Concentration;
10) Health problems.
When I realized I needed to try to
alleviate some of the stress in my
life so that I could continue to
function and care for my mother, I:
1) Set realistic goals and
expectations;
2) Established limits;
3) Asked for/accepted help;
4) Took care of myself;
5) Involved other people, and
6) Found a Caregiver Support
Group whose members were
also Caregivers experiencing
similar issues.
Fortunately, I found the Caregiver
Support Group sponsored by
Boone County Senior Services,
Inc. that meets from 6:00-8:00
p.m. the fourth Thursday of
each month at their office
located at 515 CrownPointe
Drive, Lebanon.
Please consider this an open
invitation to join us as we travel
the “Caregiving Road” together.

The BCSS Foundation

The Boone County Senior working hard to better educate

Services Foundation, Inc. is a
501 (c) (3) organization which
was established to build a
permanent endowment from
gifts and bequests so BCSSI
can continue serving the older
adults in our community.
Recently, Foundation Board
President, Jim
Messenger
(pictured right)
attended an
agency staff
meeting to
give an update
about the
Foundation’s goals and
objectives. He explained how
the 13 member Board of
Directors has set a new goal of
reaching $2.5 million in
endowed funds. Jim stated that
the income from the endowment
can be used to sustain the level
of services offered at BCSSI.
He added that the board will be
15
local attorneys, accountants,
bankers and community
members so they are familiar
with the Foundation’s goals and
objectives as well as the vital
services the agency provides to
the growing population of senior
residents.
