![]() ![]() ![]() It’s perilous and beautiful, organized chaos. ![]() I thought of a Rube Goldberg machine- you know, where someone’s trying to make toast or something- you put a marble in a tube and it goes through an elaborate, unlikely and perilous obstacle course, cascades set in motion other cascades as the lone marble makes its way to its destination and finally: Toast! I had an odd thought about crying that came to me while working on this post. I think that captures the broad sentiment. To shorthand it: I heard of a summer camp that gives kids candy if they don’t cry when talking to their parents in their weekly calls. But maybe if we changed our relationship with crying, it would be easier to do when we need to.Ĭrying is our native tongue, it’s how we express ourselves when we first enter this world. The body gets used to putting on the brakes to hold back tears, so when we finally have a minute to ourselves, it’s not like we’re going to burst into tears right then and there. Crying is the cure.īut sometimes it’s hard to do. That is how you get the greatest release.” Thinking it the “right” answer she said- “not very much.” To her surprise, the monk responded: “No, no you must cry your heart out. In one of her meetings with the monk, he asked her if she was crying about her friend in her meditation. A friend of hers had just passed away and she was trying hard to not be “attached” to grieving by crying too much and missing what she was supposed to be learning during the monk’s stay. Dan Gottlieb, “buried feelings are buried alive,” they don’t just go away, but how do we access them?Įnough background-here’s the story that moved me to write this post.Īt a recent online event, Sharon Salzberg, the beloved Buddhist meditation teacher who brought lovingkindness meditation practice to the western world, told a story about her early days inviting a Buddhist monk to her then newly founded meditation center in Barre, Massachusetts. As a psychologist, I know we need to connect with those emotions, because, in the words of my dear friend, Dr. How paradoxical, that it can be so hard to simply open to our emotions just under the surface! Like looking at them through a window-they are right there, yet out of reach. Honestly, don’t you just want to cry sometimes? We can’t be in a constant state of gratitude for all the gifts we do have amidst the losses and strains. Just because we can do all this, and maybe we’re even becoming increasingly better at responding flexibly to the constant shape-shifting of whatever this moment calls for, it doesn’t mean it’s somehow natural for us. Day.īut truth-telling here: It’s not easy. ![]() My kindred over-functioning people, it’s not that we are dysfunctional or shut down by choice. Add to that… fear, stress, exhaustion, grief, anger, job stress, dishes, laundry, homework. Life! All this likely falls in the category of “love in action” because in the end, why else do we do anything, really, except for the sake of love? But the strain of supply and demand mismatches of our own emotional and practical resources as the challenges of the pandemic and this moment in human history rage on are eclipsing what we long to feel-that intense flow of grace when we are replete with love and bolstered with a belief in what is possible. Well, the worry and sadness we might feel reading the news any hour of any day. Or more to the point, when it’s hard to feel connected to the love within, between and around us.Īt a time when we are greatly needing the reassurance and nurturing of love, what we may be feeling instead is an absence, a bracing, the ache of the impenetrability of our hearts and the anguish of things seemingly getting in the way of our feeling love in the unencumbered way we remember from before. If you’re a regular reader here, you are likely not surprised that my thoughts this year went not to the flowers and candy and such but to the other side-the experience of when it’s hard to love. Happy Valentine’s week! Whether celebrating this year feels natural or discordant in this very precarious moment of our history, I think we can all agree: The world and its vulnerable inhabitants could really use the profound comfort of more love right now. ![]()

8/30/2023 0 Comments Hawk sounds![]() A second hawk-owl called in flight nearby. Just when Mark’s nerve was beginning to crack, the noise stopped and something happened that thrilled him to the core. By now the temperature had dropped to -17☌, so when the driver got out he left the engine running and chatted to the farmer on his doorstep. Punishing Mark slowly, it made its way along an invisible path through the trees directly behind him, then appeared on the road while the owl continued to hoot in the distance. Moments later a rickety old tractor with snow chains rumbled into earshot. Muted by snow and distance, it sounded like the whistle of an American freight train but diffuse, rising and rippling slightly. When a very distant hawk-owl finally became active at dusk, its voice emerged as if from nothing. For an hour, all remained silent and still. ![]() On the other the forest blocked his view. On his side of the road there was a ploughed field. ![]() He rested his microphones on the snow, uncoiled 20 m of cables and stood at the far end. Towards the end of the next day, Dick and Killian dropped Mark off at the same spot. In March 2003, however, the blanket was still flawless and the owls were preparing to breed. At the end of winter the snow could have melted too quickly, causing the vole population to crash and the owls to move on. The previous autumn a surplus of voles had attracted irruptive owls to settle in the area. Fairly large patches of old growth remain but otherwise it is commercial, dotted with small farms and fields. ![]() The area around Yläne has a lot of forest, more than usual for south-western Finland. Perhaps through the sheer power of his will, the owl did call, and an obsession with hawk-owls was born. Mark pointed his parabolic dish despite Dick’s discouragement and an air temperature of -10☌. When Dick spotted the Northern Hawk-Owl Surnia ulula perched in a tree on the other side of the field, everyone sprang into action. “You’re wasting your time”, said Dick, “they never call during the day.” The road had been long, straight and snowy, and Mark had fallen asleep. ![]() 8/30/2023 0 Comments Short dress with long overlay![]() ![]() A corset mini dress is a must-have, and we’ve got quite the selection.

Read on to learn more about the 7 chakras, their symbols, attributes, effects, and balancing techniques.

The conscious awareness and balancing of these energy centers, on the other hand, is believed to lead to well-being and good health.

8/30/2023 0 Comments Timi score cad risk factor![]() ![]() Of note, elevated cholesterol and lipids are not associated 9.Įnvironmental factors also play a role in increasing the risk for CAD. However, hypertension, smoking, BMI, and physical inactivity do seem to correlate. All risk factors do not have the same association. There has been documentation over the past ten years that seems to indicate there is an inverse relationship between SES and cardiovascular risk 8. However, there is some concern that risk stratification may not be safe for those people who are in lower socioeconomic circles, as defined by lower income and educational levels. The guidelines indicate that admission is not necessary for those at low risk based on risk factor stratification and stress testing may be done prior to discharge or as an outpatient. Stress test is defined as an Exercise Treadmill Testing (ETT), with or without imaging modality, or Dobutamine/Adenosine Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI). If the cardiac enzymes remain negative and the patient has no further episodes of chest pain, then a stress test is recommended. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the AHA have published together in their practice guidelines, an algorithm for the “Evaluation and Management of Patients Suspected of Having an ACS” 7. This study showed that the TIMI risk score has a broader usefulness and can be used at the bedside when deciding on diagnostic and therapeutic interventions 6. The results indicated that the TIMI score did correlate with the extent of coronary disease confirmed by coronary angiography and 57% of the low risk patients had nonsignificant CAD or normal angiogram. These risks were associated with the chance of having an acute coronary event in the following 14 days after presenting with chest pain 3.Ī retrospective study was published in April 2004 that looked at the correlation of the TIMI risk score with the extent of native vessel disease in patients diagnosed with NSTEMI and who underwent angiography. In the TIMI-11B trial, a score was developed based on risk factors and clinical presentation that distinguished those patients with UA or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) into risk categories of low (0-2), intermediate (3-4) and high (5-7). Currently there have been 23 TIMI trials that have provided insights into the pathophysiology, and clinical course and have provided information that is useful in the treatment of acute MI and UA 5. They examined thrombolytic and antithrombotic regimens in acute MI and unstable angina (UA). The TIMI score was developed by the TIMI trials that began in 1984. ![]() Multiple studies have been conducted to show potentiation effects of risk factors on a person's risk for having CAD. The traditional risk factors for CAD are advanced age, sex, family history, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. However, in reality, the presence of one or more risk factors in the young (18-59) is highly sensitive for future coronary events 4. The TIMI score is based on risk factors for CAD and clinical presentation during a possible ACS 3.įor many years it was felt that approximately 50% of coronary events occurred in patients with no risk factors. One example is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score. In many facilities a scale is used to determine the risk of an acute coronary syndrome based on risk factors. It is the standard of care in the United States to utilize risk factor stratification to help determine the type of cardiac work-up a patient needs when presenting with chest pain. The benefits from this risk stratification are multiple, including time involved, resources utilized, and money spent. Therefore, patients would not have extended hospitalizations waiting on a stress test. It is feasible, if these patients are evaluated with risk stratification that some of them could be discharged with outpatient testing. However, these tests are only done during the “work week” causing delays during hospital admission. The current treatment practice at the study site involves admission for provocative testing (Stress Testing with Nuclear Imaging most often) after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is ruled out. It is estimated that $13 billion is spent annually in the US on hospitalizing patients with chest pain who turn out not to have a MI 2. The medicine wards at the study site, a public hospital, have noted a rise in patient census, due in part to this increase. Because of the high prevalence of the disease, public awareness has resulted in an increasing number of people who present to the emergency department for evaluation of chest pain. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death of Americans with an estimated 650,000 a year experiencing a myocardial infarction (MI) 1. ![]() |
