Did you know December and January are when gyms sell the most gym memberships? The most popular New Year resolutions are weight loss and to get in shape, and many of us (I know I have tried this) assume that buying the gym membership will be enough motivation. Sometimes it even works, but rarely for very long. Instead, here are some easy ways to get motivated to lose weight (and then stay motivated once you’ve started!): Be nice to yourself. One of the hardest parts is admitting and then deciding to lose weight so congratulate yourself for doing that! The negative records that play in ...

With the holiday season gearing up into full swing, most of us are more concerned about how big of a turkey (and then tree) to get than we are about our flexible spending account through work. Financial experts will tell you that is a big mistake – if you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer and you don’t use that money by the end of the year then you’ll lose it. That’s right – use it or lose it. This is also the time of year for open enrollment for employee benefits, so if you haven’t been taking advantage of your ability to save through a FSA...

My grandfather is a very independent man who refuses to move in with any family members, he wants to stay in the house he’s lived in for the last 30 years. He is somewhat forgetful regarding his health issues and since I take turns with my siblings and cousins on who will visit him and take him to run his errands and to doctors appointments, it’s hard for all of the family to keep up on his latest health issues.

While researching on the web, I came across the MedIDCard.  It keeps all personal health records on a credit card size USB memory card.  We are able to store and edit this medication, allergies, insurance information, x-rays, doctors notes, and so on.  Our system is whoever takes him to the doctor’s documents the latest news on this card that our grandpa keeps in his wallet, and whoever takes him to the doctors next checks the card to see what questions they should be asking the doctor.  This makes us feel really safe because our grandpa would never ask the doctor questions, and isn’t good about following the doctors guidelines.

We’re able to keep him healthy and independent without relying on him to remember everything and by making sure he is taking the right vitamins, prescriptions, and eating and exercising as directed by his doctor.

Not only does this card help us manage his health, but it’s always on him in case of a life-threatening emergency.  If he were to hurt himself and none of the family were close by, the paramedics or hospital has easy access to his health records which will provide him prompt medical attention.

I love this card and recommend it to all my family and friends, no matter what age.  It’s a life saver!
