In July we hosted our first Zoom Survivor Meeting. Jean Nisenboum kindly agreed to continue hosting our Survivor’s meeting. Since this group had not met since March, we had a lot to catch up on. We went around the “room” and brought everyone up to date in our lives. Linda P. gave us the best news: her new grandchild is on the way. Everyone else is hanging in there and trying to enjoy the summer. Jean reminded us that the Survivor Group decided to write some handouts for new stroke survivors: Our Tips for Recovery. We will work on these handouts throughout 2020 and post them on our Website and on FB. Jean reminded everyone to wear a mask, but she knows that many masks interfere with hearing aids. She said some masks can clip on your glasses. Also, since Geri wears a hearing aid, she made a pattern and sews her own. They work! Jean also reminded people to keep their brains active. Puzzles that are a little challenging are great at keeping us sharp. We also need to remember to talk to family and friends to keep our speech skills improving. Exercise and stretching are also important. Many of our members are walking outside on nice days. Remember to drink lots of water and take breaks. Big thanks to Jean and everyone who participated. Hope to see everyone in August! Always room for one more!

July Zoom Lunch. We had a nice time eating, drinking, and chatting with friends.

We spent a little time catching-up and then we ended up talking a lot about chronic pain issues. Many of us have chronic pain in our joints: shoulders, knee, back, fingers, etc.

We talked about exercises, medicines, patches, doctors, and rehab. It is so good to learn about other people’s experiences. Although the topic was serious, we felt better at the end of the lunch.

Thanks, everyone! ReFocus 5 Aug. 2020

Our weekly Bingo game is a favorite and well attended. Geri opens the meeting at 6:30. We chit-chat until everyone gets in and then the game begins at 7:00 and lasts until 8:00. Geri hosts the meeting and her little dog tells time perfectly – so at 8:00 he bugs Geri to take him for a walk and the rest of us can hang around and chat. We have this down to a science. Kay or Linda shuffle the cards and hold them up. John or Charles or Gary or Damon call the numbers, Geri marks them off, and we celebrate the wins. Ellen suggested that we switch the game to make it more interesting. So, we’ll play one regular bingo to get started and then switch it up: small picture frame, big picture frame, and corners. Arlene did some research and found hundreds of different combinations. By the end of July, we started going through the alphabet: “T”, “N”, etc. In August, we’re going to try to play the rest of the alphabets, maybe starting with “Z.” BTW: Arlene has the winningest Bingo card! We’re trying to bribe her for it or smuggle it!

Here are a couple of pics from the July games.

In 1899, David May, the founder of May Department Stores, acquired E.R. Hull & Dutton Co, in Cleveland on Ontario Street renaming it May Company, Cleveland. In 1914 May added an additional landmark building on Euclid Avenue, fronting on the southeast corner of Public Square. The high-rise building stands 149 feet and 8 floors of space, though floors 7 and 8 were not added until 1931.

In 1939 May Co. acquired majority control of another Cleveland store, William Taylor Son & Co., which maintained a separate identity until 1961. Expansion to the suburbs began in the 1950s, with Sheffield Shopping Center, Lorain in 1953 (originally opened as an O’Neil’s store which was a May Company subsidiary and then changed over to a May Company location in1967) and Cedar-Center Plaza at Cedar and Warrensville Roads in University Heights in late 1956 (known locally as “Mays on the Heights.”) in 1960 a branch was opened at Parmatown Mall in Parma, and another on 1961 at Southgate Shopping Center in Maple Heights (the Southgate store having been originally opened in 1958 by William Taylor & Son Co.) Several mall stores followed in the 1960s and 1970s, including (1964), Great Northern Mall () in North Olmsted (1965), in North Randall (1976), in Euclid (1977) and in Sandusky (1979.)

The company also constructed a nine-story warehouse (six stories tall, with three sub-basements) attached to the south side of the Cedar Center Store. Designed to handle furniture distribution for Cleveland’s eastside. The red brick facility, designed to look like an integrated part of the colossal four story store was used for a short time but remained empty from 1960 until the University Heights store was demolished and re-built in 2002, by this time it was rebranded as Kaufmann’s.

The May Company specialized in mid to higher end fashion merchandise and home furnishings, but target price points placed May Company merchandise at or below its two major competitors in the Cleveland market, Higbee’s and Halles’s. May company was the first local department store to issue its own personal charge card, announcing it on July 16, 1966 in a Cleveland Plain Dealer article, breaking away from being part of the Department Stores Charge Plate (a metal card that was notched for each store and used at all participating members which included William Taylor Son and Co., Bailey’s, Sterling-Lindner-Davis, the Higbee Company and the Halle Bros. Co.) Higbee’s and Halle’s cards continued to remain part of this system until each issued their own individual cards respectively in 1969.

In addition to its merchandise the company was known for its sponsorship of the Eagle Stamp program. Consumers could earn Eagle Stamps on purchases at the May Company as well as on purchases at Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets, Leader Drug Stores and participating gas stations and dry cleaners. Completed stamp booklets could be redeemed at May Company for $3 credits toward merchandise purchases at May Company Stores. The trading stamp was administered by the May Company owned Eagle Stamp Company of St. Louis from 1903 to 1987. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Company_Ohio

Hungry Heart By Bruce Springsteen

A Springsteen concert is almost like a revival meeting. The first one I saw was at Miami University and I was immediately hooked. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played for four hours and nobody left early. He danced on the grand piano, he dove into the crowd, and told mesmerizing stories. His songs such as Born to Run, Thunder Road, and the Promised Land had powerful messages for the common person who would like to raise his or her abilities.

One of the most popular song from Bruce Springsteen is Hungry Heart. He borrowed this phrase from Alfred Tennyson in his poem, Ulysses. Bruce wrote this song in a single sitting in the late seventies and he currently continues to play Hungry Heart at his concerts as his fans sing along. “Everybody needs a Hungry Heart…”.

MONROVIA, Calif. — Most mornings, like clockwork, you could find Art Ballard pumping iron. At least five days a week, he drove to Foothill Gym, where he beat on the punching bag, rode a stationary bike, and worked his abs. After he joined the gym five years ago, he dropped 20 pounds, improved his balance, and made friends.

At 91, he’s still spry and doesn’t take any medication other than an occasional Tylenol for aches and pains. “Doctors love me,” he said.

But when California enacted a statewide stay-at-home order in mid-March, his near-daily physical exercise and social interactions abruptly ended. Ballard’s health started to deteriorate: His back hurt, his legs cramped, and he started becoming short of breath. As happens too often with older people, he also started to feel isolated and depressed. “I was deeply concerned for myself because I didn’t have an exercise routine at home,” he said.

The University of Southern California’s Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research conducted an analysis in late March, as the coronavirus established a foothold in the U.S., that found that older adults over 60 who lived alone were more likely to report feeling anxious or depressed than those living with companions. The combination of the pandemic and nationwide lockdown orders put this already vulnerable population at greater risk, said Julie Zissimopoulos, co-director of the aging and cognition program at USC’s Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics.

Social distancing measures have weakened the support systems that older people who live alone depend on for basic activities, such as help with grocery shopping and transportation to doctor appointments. “There’s a huge, disproportionate impact on older adults with this virus and the health outcomes,” said Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of AARP Foundation. “During this shutdown, we’ve had growing public health and community acknowledgement of how serious it can be to sever the ties with our network.”

Ballard, a retired jeweler, lives alone in a one-bedroom condo in Monrovia, a city of about 36,000 people about 20 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. He lost his wife of more than 50 years, Dorothy, to Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. Since then, he has embraced his solitude and reveled in his newfound bachelorhood. He enjoys cooking and trying out recipes, listening to 1950s music and watching YouTube videos about World War II. He has a girlfriend he met online — a retired greyhound trainer who lives in Arkansas. They haven’t yet met in person.

Ballard felt he could handle the isolation of the lockdown order. He didn’t have visitors during quarantine, but his son, Dan Ballard, checked on him by phone weekly.

In the beginning, Ballard tried to keep busy. He did his shopping early in the morning and took strolls around his neighborhood. But after a couple of months of not visiting the gym, Ballard began feeling sad and frustrated, and his health started to slide. He relied more on his walker and sometimes struggled to breathe. “My girlfriend was concerned with how I was thinking,” said Ballard, who speaks to her on the phone several times a day.

For Ballard, a self-proclaimed gym addict, Foothill Gym was a second home. Just as in the 1980s sitcom “Cheers,” it’s a place where everybody knows his name. Not going to the “club,” as he calls it, was taking a toll on his mental and physical health, so he decided to visit Brian Whelan, the owner of the small, family-run gym, in late May. “He comes in, out of breath, with a walker,” Whelan recalled. “He couldn’t hold his head up straight and it took him five minutes to catch his breath.” ReFocus 10

Whelan felt sad and angry. “Everyone here was almost in tears because this vibrant man was gone,” he said. So, Whelan broke the rules. He invited Ballard to visit the gym even before it officially reopened to the public. “The gym business is more than physical health,” said Whelan. “It’s mental health.”

Ballard resumed his beloved routine the last week of May, with the gym mostly to himself. “Every day for the past two months, I’ve been sad,” Ballard said on the first day back. “Today, I woke up and I was happy.” Day after day, Ballard improved. “Now he comes in without a walker, head up straight, and the spark in his eyes is getting brighter,” Whelan said.

The gym reopened June 15. Despite the threat of COVID-19, Ballard is back to working out six days a week. Masks are required to enter the gym but can be removed when exercising. Ballard isn’t worried. “I’m 100% comfortable,” he said. “I’ll wear a mask if they ask me to.”

Son Dan said he’s worried about his dad being around people but realizes the benefits. “It’s a scary balance. If he stops going to the gym and can’t see anybody, I know he’s going to deteriorate,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s a quality-of-life decision that’s his to make.”

Ballard believes not being able to socialize was a bigger threat to his health than the risk of contracting the coronavirus. “I found out how important my routine and exercise are,” said Ballard. “It’s given me back my life. And it’s only going to get better.”

Pacita Abad (1946–2004)

I know lots of members of the Stroke Club and Speak Easy are artists and crafts people. You might like this artist. Paita Abad was a Filipino American Artist who created ‘trapunto’ paintings -- in which canvasses are padded and stitched before being painted and layered with a range of printed textiles and objects, including buttons, rickrack, sequins and shells. Characterized by their vibrant color and intricate construction, these works combine a broad range of styles, subjects and techniques, from social realist tableaus incorporating indigenous textiles to richly detailed abstractions inspired by Korean ink brush painting, Indonesian batik and Papua New Guinean macramé. Source: https://visitbristol.co.uk/whats-on/pacita-abad-life-in-the-margins-at-spike-island-p2813653 Quote: "I always see the world through color, although my vision, perspective and paintings are constantly influenced by new ideas and changing environments. I feel like I am an ambassador of colors, always projecting a positive mood that helps make the world smile." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacita_Abad

We know that many of our members have loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals. As of today, we believe the Governor has allowed visitation state-wide but it is up to the individual facility to make the visitation decisions. Check with the nursing home and your doctor and government advocate to make the best decision with your loved one. We know that some nursing homes are allowing mail to be delivered to residents and some are allowing residents to enjoy the nice weather in court yards. Our members who are in hospitals and nursing homes can use a boost: regular letters and phone calls help a lot. P.S. Nursing home residents are participating in our Zoom activities. We welcome new participants.
