I want to see what 42 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.199 you are doing and try to reward do it. So it's radio at doctor 43 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.199 Joe Glotti dot com. All right, So on the program tonight, we're 44 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.680 going to pick up on what I was chatting about last week, the bagel, 45 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.960 so stay tuned for that. We have one guest coming on the second 46 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.240 half of the program, Michael Varrier. And for full disclosure, Mike is 47 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:11.719 my nephew. It is my sister's son. And Mike is interesting in that 48 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:24.800 the young guy married three beautiful children. But he is very well adapted in 49 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.680 the kitchen. He cooks, he experiments with food. He is not afraid 50 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.399 to push the envelope on some of the things he does. And for me, 51 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.920 I just do not see that in the thirty to forty year old parent 52 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.199 group, the guys that are out there, the women, and I interview 53 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:53.680 people all day long. Every day I meet twenty new people and we have 54 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.560 this conversation about food and who does the cooking and what is your scope of 55 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.040 food? Do you just eat boiled chicken every night? And steamed broccoli? 56 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.160 That is the level of excitement of cooking, because it gets very boring, 57 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.639 and people get bored with food and they eat out and order in and and 58 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.759 and it. You know, you know what we're facing the obesity crisis and 59 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:24.279 chronic disease and cancer. But Michael is enthusiastically trying new things in the kitchen. 60 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.959 It is reflecting on his children. And these are young kids that he 61 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:38.639 is passively training and teaching and modeling in his and he and his wife in 62 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.519 the role as a parent and guardian in a sense, all right, what 63 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.439 I want to do. We may have to pick this up in the next 64 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.720 segment. We talked about the better bagel last week, and I tried to 65 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.480 compare this better bagel, which is basically a frozen bagel that you could get 66 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.360 at Whole Food or Central Market or any of the retail change around the country. 67 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.120 But do we really need a better bagel, A dietetic bagel, A 68 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.879 bagel that is lower in carbs, it's lower in carbohydrates, it's higher in 69 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:17.040 fiber. And I look at that, and you may say you're being a 70 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.959 little ridiculous, Joe, But I think we have to draw the line to 71 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.800 say, do we need a better candy bar? Do we need a better 72 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.560 hamburger, a better soft drink, a better sandwich, a better egg. 73 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:38.720 And when you look at the obesity crisis, it was not started and it 74 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:46.000 will not be fixed by a better bagel, less calories, less carbohydrates. 75 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.480 If we outlawed the bagel today, there would be, my opinion, no 76 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.160 change in the rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, findly, liver, 77 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.199 cirrhosis, cancer, all of these chronic diseases that we see. But 78 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:12.040 the real issue here is here we are the victim of some amazing advertising schemes 79 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.519 where they make you think a regular off the shelf bagel. It's bad, 80 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.480 the worst food ever to eat. You need a better bagel. So we'll 81 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.279 talk about net carbs and a few other things in a little bit more detail. 82 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.040 I'm doctor Joe Glotti. Stay tuned. We will be right back. 83 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.639 The name of the show is Your Health First, every Sunday between seven and 84 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.759 eight pm. Don't forget our website Doctor Joegalotti dot com, Doctor Jogalotti dot 85 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:55.120 com. And as I was saying a little earlier in the program, and 86 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.639 I'm laughing at this song, and I'll tell you why in a second. 87 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:05.800 But on the phone is my sister Celeste Galotti. How are you, Celest? 88 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.439 I mean this song is from the seventies. It reminds me, I 89 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.839 know, it reminds me of you know, hanging out in the backyard with 90 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.360 you and all the kids in the neighborhood hanging out. I know, me 91 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.399 and my good friend Regina. We would listen to it in the bedroom and 92 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.639 blast it in the back bedroom and mom and dad would tell us the lower 93 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.560 it I know, I know. Well, thank you and for those that 94 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.799 are listening. Celeste is a nurse. She has been on the program many 95 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:45.720 times over the years commenting on motherhood, grandmotherhood, food nutrition. She has 96 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:52.399 been in a wide range of disciplines within nursing, including hospice and palliative care, 97 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.360 home health nursing, but tonight she is here as a patient. She 98 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:09.440 recently had a hip replacement, and I believe that Celeste's story is one that 99 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.799 is very relatable to people that are listening tonight. So Celest, thanks for 100 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.759 coming on, and it's always great to have you here. So tell us 101 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.919 in a sense, your surgery journey, your orthopedic issues, and how this 102 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.840 all sort of started. Yeah, well, way back when when I was 103 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.200 younger. I'm in full disclosure, I'm sixty three. So when I was 104 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.360 younger, in my twenties and thirties and forties, I ran. I worked 105 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.039 out a lot, did a lot of exercise, but my main focus was 106 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.960 running, not long distances. I would do a of a half marathon every 107 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.919 once in a while, but mostly five k's, ten k's things like that. 108 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.200 My family was a bunch of runners, So when I ran, I 109 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.879 would run with a partner and he would say, you're running very heavier, 110 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.240 hitting hard on the pavement. You know, you gotta go lighter, And 111 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.399 I would try but I think all of those years of just pounding my joints 112 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.120 did a number on me. So about five years ago, five six years 113 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.080 ago, I did have a knee replacement, a total right knee replacement due 114 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.960 to just bone moss and loss of the gel around the bones, and I 115 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:26.080 was bone on bone and that I rehab swimmingly. I did very well from 116 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.799 that. But at that time, five six years ago, we saw my 117 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.320 x rays that my hip was a little bit deteriorating and we said just keep 118 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.200 an eye on it. So over the past six months or so, I 119 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.120 just had a really bad pain nesasturbation where it was extremely painful. I was 120 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.559 walking with a cane which was not met went to the orcipe and at that 121 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.759 point I stopped doing all exercise that I was doing. And you know, 122 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.200 the orthopeda said, all right, you're you're due for a hip replacement. 123 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.919 We can't off anymore. Even though you're sixty three so considered fairly young. 124 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.320 Let's do it because your quality of life is not where you want it to 125 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:15.000 be sure. So it didn't take me much to accept that and say, 126 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.120 okay, let's go ahead and schedule it. So I did have the hip 127 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.759 replacement, a total right hip replacement on June third, and yeah, I'm 128 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.639 almost a month post up. Wow, but very glad I did it. 129 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.320 Yeah, now after the fact, you know, because I remember calling you 130 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:41.279 and in addition to asking about the kids and work and the usual family type 131 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.639 things, pain, you know, how do you feel the pain? Question 132 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:52.080 would come around, and as time went on, your attitude towards the pain 133 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.200 was definitely getting worse. I'm sick and tired of talking about it. This 134 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:05.279 really is terrible, this sucks, and which is not you ninety nine percent 135 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:11.440 of the time. And I could see sort of before my eyes that you 136 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:18.519 really were were becoming quite disabled. Now for everybody listening tonight, they may 137 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.159 be able to relate to this. If it's not a hip problem, it's 138 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.360 a me it's a shoulder, it's back, it's some other sort of spinal 139 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.279 or pain syndrome. But a lot of people have this sense that once they 140 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.759 hit sixty, once they hit fifty, they start falling apart, and it's 141 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.639 almost as if they're accepting of it. What's your take on that, celest 142 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.679 You know, I could understand that in a way because I never had that 143 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.440 train of thought. I always said I'm going to live through a ripe old 144 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.639 age like our mom and dad did, and so I never had that. 145 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.879 But once I got this chronic pain that I was experiencing for a couple of 146 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.879 months, I kind of had that attitude where I'm like, all right, 147 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.240 this is it. Like I'm sixty three, it's all downhill from here. 148 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.120 There's nothing I could do. And I think because of the pain, it 149 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.080 just put me into a different mindset. It was all I could think about. 150 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.519 And not only was I having pain in the ship, I was not 151 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.639 happy in my shoulders everything. I think I told you everything was just hurting 152 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.919 me. And they think it was just this excruciating, you know, pain 153 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.639 and thought process, and then you start thinking negatively, and I think it 154 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.720 happens to a lot of people, and I think I said to you that 155 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.799 people who live in chronic pain, my heart really goes out to them as 156 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.679 a nerve. I've dealt with a lot of patients who do have chronic pain. 157 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.639 Some issues can be fixed, some cannot, and it's a terrible thing 158 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.840 to live with because it's not just the pain, the physical pain, but 159 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.440 it really does affect your mental status, which is as bad as the physical 160 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:05.799 pain. And I think at that point the pain is let's put it this 161 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:13.799 way, the cause of the pain itself is not life threatening, right, 162 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.960 People don't die of an arthritic hip in the true sense. It's almost as 163 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.720 if you lose you're losing your mind and your common sense, and you go 164 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.120 into a depression and then you really do start falling apart. What do you 165 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.279 say to that. I agree with that now that I've experienced it, And 166 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.519 you've heard so many people who have said, I've gone to the doctor. 167 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.639 I've gone to this doctor. That's actor nobody can figure out where my pain 168 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.480 is coming from. This one doctor told me it's all in my head, 169 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.720 and I could kind of see how sometimes it's like, I don't know where 170 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.200 all this pain is coming from, because for me, it was my hip. 171 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.960 My hip was the main source of pain. That I was starting to 172 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.799 feel pain all over my body. Was it that that psycho response, you 173 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.720 know, was that the response that my mind had towards the pain, because 174 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.679 quite honestly, after I had the hip replaced, and you know, I 175 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.120 had the typical postop pain, everything else seemed to kind of clear away. 176 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.840 I didn't have the pain and my shoulders, like I was having Prior to 177 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.840 I didn't have the pain in my other knee that I was feeling. So 178 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.120 it really it plays on every aspect of your health. You know, you 179 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.200 think, yeah, and you think of it if so in your particular case 180 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:41.200 or somebody like you, you have pain, the pain is impacting your psyche 181 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.399 more than your thought. Plus you've got this physical ailment that your your legs 182 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.759 aren't moving right and you can't exercise. But just think of the sequence of 183 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:58.840 events. This is a true domino effect. To the point where you have 184 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:04.360 pain, physically cannot move, you're not exercising. That sets up weight gain. 185 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.360 Weight gain is going to make your orthopedic problem worse. You get overweight, 186 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.200 you get depressed, you have chronic pain, you get depressed, you 187 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:18.120 have bad thoughts about yourself, You're difficult to live with, you don't have 188 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:25.919 any motivation to go outside. And it is just this spiral quicksand that people 189 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.360 get into. And I think, to your point, it is so sad 190 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:36.360 to see how many people are living like this, and it is beyond devastating, 191 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.159 it really is. I mean, I was to the point where I 192 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.279 did I definitely gained some weight because I wasn't exercising, and I wasn't doing 193 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.200 a lot, so I found my I didn't really overeat, but I guess 194 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.120 I must have. You know, I wasn't eating a lot of junk, 195 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.519 but I guess maybe I was, because I'm definitely heavier now because of it. 196 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.679 But that puts you into a negative spin. You know. It's just 197 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.519 everything, everything you know, plays into that. So for me, at 198 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.440 least, there was kind of an answer. You know, I had the 199 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.440 hips on. I feel much better now. I'm still in recovery, but 200 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:18.359 I think my mental status has gotten better now because I'm thinking, all right, 201 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.720 well this is good. I'm moving more. I was able to walk 202 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:26.640 a mile the other day. You know, I'm I'm planning towards going to 203 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.640 outpatient physical therapy and going back to the gym and my daughter, well I 204 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.839 live with, you know, just put a pool and then I'm going to 205 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.400 start once I could get into the water, I'm going to start doing water 206 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:44.759 therapy. So I have these positive thoughts and my future goal and that helps. 207 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:45.720 All right, that's less. We're going to We're going to take a 208 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.039 quick break here. I'm on with Celeste Galotti, my sister, playing another 209 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.640 song from our childhood. All right, stay tuned. We're right back to 210 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.599 Joe. Glad of your out first, We'll be back again raising your Health 211 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.559 IQ, one listener at a time. This is your health first. I'm 212 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:11.680 doctor Joe Galotti. Doctor Joegalotti dot com. Is our website and you could 213 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.079 do lots of things when you get there, send me a message, signer 214 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:22.440 frown newsletter. All of our social media is there old broadcasts, So doctor 215 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:27.440 Joegalotti dot com. And I've been on the phone here with my dear sister 216 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:37.400 Celeste Galotti telling us about her hip surgery, her pain, and her plan 217 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:45.160 for recovery. Now, I truly believe that what we were just talking about, 218 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:52.599 the pain is an invaluable part of our own health and wellness. And 219 00:18:52.920 --> 00:19:00.680 so while we don't want people to get addicted on powerful full pain medications and 220 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:08.160 narcotics and then that destroys their life, Uh, the acceptance of tolerating pain 221 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.160 should be something that we don't just simply tolerate. Now, what would you 222 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.720 say if you were going for the surgery and there was some uh, some 223 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.480 light at the end of the tunnel, what do you think you would have 224 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.440 done? Well? I think in my case, in particular, I needed 225 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.119 the surgery. You know, X rays are black and white. You know, 226 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.920 it's like your bonus. They are black and white, by the way, 227 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.359 exactly so, So I think that a lot of people out there are 228 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.559 afraid. You know, in my practice of nursing a lot of people, 229 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:47.880 I don't want to have surgery. I'm afraid I'm ever going to come out 230 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.480 of anesthesia. I don't want to have, you know, put myself into 231 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.240 that. But I think the surgical procedure right now in orthopedics have come a 232 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.799 long way. You know, when you think of what happened. They removed 233 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:06.000 my socket, you know, they've removed my hip, put a new one 234 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.240 in, and brand new titanium rod in and a new ball joint in two 235 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.400 hours. I was in the recovery room within two hours, and up and 236 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:21.400 walking within you know, four hours. So it's scary. It's absolutely scary 237 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.119 to go through any kind of surgical procedure, but it is well worth it 238 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.640 because I think paying the price of being in chronic pain versus being a little 239 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.000 scared going for surgery, having this done, it is by far the best 240 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.359 thing I could have done, you know. So I think anyone who you 241 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.880 know has the option, or they know that my hip is killing me, 242 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.079 my knee is killing me, my shoulders killing me. I don't know what 243 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.079 to do. Go see an orthopedis yeah and it I have always been and 244 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.160 I'm sure and yeah, not that I'm sure you've said it. Getting a 245 00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.359 second opinion. You have to be comfortable with the people that you are in 246 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.599 trusting a your life be your recovery to and so depending on where you live 247 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.079 in the country, big city, small city, intermediate city, sometimes you 248 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:17.640 just have to get in the car and drive a little out of your comfort 249 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:25.319 zone to get that right person to do the procedure. I mean I did 250 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.319 that so right now. Currently I'm living in kind of upstate New York. 251 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.359 I'm about almost two hours outside of Manhattan. But my doctor was in the 252 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.680 hospital for special surgery, which is big orthopedic hospital here in the city, 253 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.079 and I said, that's it. I'm going there because he was the best 254 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.119 and became highly recommended, and I wanted to put my life in somebody's hands 255 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.400 who I trusted, so I did opt. I could have gone locally or 256 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.160 local hospital, very good hospital up here, but it's only ten minutes from 257 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.400 my house. I just didn't have the confidence in my hospital up here, 258 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.359 very good hospital, but I just didn't feel like I want to put my 259 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.160 life in their hands, so I went down to Manhattan. So I think 260 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.720 everybody has to make their own decisions, but I feel it's best if you 261 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.279 do your research and find the doctors that are doing the surgeries day and day 262 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.000 out with your eyes clothes. Absolutely, So, how is your so at 263 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.799 in your sixties here and there's so many people listening to the program tonight that 264 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:30.279 are in their sixties. What's your level of motivation or people say I'm motivated. 265 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.079 Okay, you have to be motivated for something. Is it just being 266 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.839 able to be out of pain? Do you have future aspirations for yourself? 267 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:45.440 And I believe that's where people have to have their head, be motivated to 268 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.559 work hard at something so that at the end of it all, there's that 269 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.200 sort of pot of gold for you. So tell us about that. Yeah, 270 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.160 well, I think now that I'm on the other side of the sense, 271 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.160 I'm not as much pain. I'm not having so a little bit of 272 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.640 pain. I'm not going to stampaine free, but it's so much better than 273 00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:11.680 where I was prior to surgery. So I do have goals back in the 274 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.000 day when I was younger and you know, had a lot of energy and 275 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.759 all of that. You don't have energy. Now I'm getting there. I 276 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.759 got to get it back. And that's the whole thing. I don't want 277 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.480 to say, sixty three I don't have any energy. We could have energy. 278 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.839 I see energetic eighty ninety year old people. So that's a BS excuse 279 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.240 to states of the energy. You make yourself have it. But I'm getting 280 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.839 it back. So back in the day, I would set goals to either 281 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.000 run races or do some kind of an event, and I'd say, all 282 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.960 right, September sixth, this is I'm doing this ten K. I got 283 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.119 to prepare for that. So I said to myself that worked in my past. 284 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:49.839 I had kind of given up on that. Over the past six seven 285 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.279 years, I really haven't really participated in any kind of sporting events of any 286 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.400 kind. So I just saw on Facebook the other day there was a twenty 287 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:06.240 mile hyph nothing really too intense, but it's it's through up upstate here where 288 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.640 I live. And I said, you know, Darna, I'm going to 289 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:12.000 sign up for that and I'm going to do it. And it's true. 290 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.440 It's it's October. Oh, so you've got time. Potentially, I have 291 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.200 plenty of time, so that's no excuse. So that in my head I 292 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.359 said, all right, I got to get myself into shape for that. 293 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.359 So what I'm trying to do is really do what my physical therapist is telling 294 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.880 me. They're awesome physical therapists. They don't get enough accolades. I think 295 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.920 the ones that I've had are outstanding. I'm sure in your hospital you have 296 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:38.640 some great ones too, but they have motivated me to say you can do 297 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.480 this. We want you out there walking a mile, two miles, three 298 00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.359 miles. We want you to go back to the gym. So they've set 299 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.519 up some goals for me to you know, work through. They gave me 300 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.960 some exercise to do, and the key is doing it. I remember when 301 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.720 I was a home care nurse. I would say to my patient to it. 302 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:02.599 It's some orthopedic surgeries, your home exercise program that physical therapist gave you. 303 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.920 Ah, I was too tired, I didn't want to do it. 304 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.640 I didn't feel like doing it. And those are the patients that didn't do 305 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.000 well. So I think it's falling through on the people who know what the 306 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:17.240 heck they're talking about so doing that, and just I try to flip my 307 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:22.720 mindset to say, my life isn't over. I have seven grandchildren that I 308 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.480 want to be on the floor plane with again pretty soon. I have a 309 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.039 life that I want to live. There are things that I want to do, 310 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.319 and that's just it. And I just have to try to put the 311 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:40.480 negative thoughts out of my mind. And you know, just put thin positive. 312 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.920 Easier said than done, Easier said than done. It's not so simplistic, 313 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.319 but I think you have to start with small steps and give yourself a 314 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.279 goal. Sure, and as we've talked about on the radio before, we've 315 00:25:53.359 --> 00:26:02.119 talked together over the years, you could look at a healthy fifty year old 316 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:07.720 or a healthy eighty year old. There are certain personality characteristics of that person 317 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:15.319 that they are planning vacations, they are planning activities. They play tennis, 318 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.200 they they're in a walking group, they play golf, They get together with 319 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:27.720 their friends and cook and eat together. And so your recovery, even though 320 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:34.079 you've been side railed a little bit, you have to and again for everybody 321 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.920 listening, that is what I hope. The value of the show is to 322 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:42.119 inspire. You bring people like you, celest onto the air that you have 323 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:48.480 to set goals. Realize there are mountains you have to get over, but 324 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.079 you could do it. Find a word before we take the last break. 325 00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.039 Oh you want me to have a final word? Not you, No, 326 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:57.920 you know we're going to take a break.

All right, 331 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:26.720 final segment coming up on with my sister Celeste Galotti and m I've got a 332 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:32.400 few questions for her when we get back on living alone, having a care 333 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.160 plan, and some good thoughts for all of you to think about. So 334 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.960 let's don't go anywhere. I'm right back, doctor Joe Galotti, Doctor Joglotti 335 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.319 dot Com. Stay tuned, we will be right back. Welcome back, 336 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.079 everybody. Final segment of this week's installment of Your Health First every Sunday between 337 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:57.119 seven and eight pm. I'm doctor Joe Galotti on the phone with my sisters 338 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:04.920 Celeste Galotti. She's been telling us about her hip replacement. Everything that's been 339 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:11.880 involved in that, and I would say, Celeste, and you've been part 340 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:18.920 of the program, listening to the program, and as a practicing nurse, 341 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:26.960 we need to motivate our patients. And I think that is such a big 342 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:36.920 part of healthcare that you and I both take seriously, and without inspiring people, 343 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:44.039 things don't get done. I agree, And that has been my biggest 344 00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:49.160 struggle as a nurse for all of these years, is to help people change, 345 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.960 to be that change agent, to say you can get out of this 346 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.759 what that you're in. You can lose some weight, you can control your 347 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.480 diabetes, you can control your hypertension, and the power is within you. 348 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.519 And it sounds so corny, but it is so true because I'm living it 349 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.160 now, because I could have gone through this surgery and say I'm too tired 350 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.839 to exercise. It was really hard for me to get up out of the 351 00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.160 chair, and it's really hard to go up the stairs and just settle in 352 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.440 and accept it and then not really recover. Because that happens to people. 353 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.359 You could have any kind of replacement, but if you don't do the work, 354 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.519 then nothing's going to get done. So all the power lives is impatient. 355 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.160 We can be motivating and challenging and give them the best tips possible. 356 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:40.559 But it's from within. You got to get it from the depths of your 357 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.200 souls. You really do. You have to dig deep. Now, do 358 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:52.839 you remember? Mom would tell us that her father, our grandfather, he 359 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.119 would always tell her. And for those that may remember my dear mom, 360 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:02.880 her name was Agnes, but she went by Aggie, and her father would 361 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.720 always tell her, Aggie, don't get old, and you remember that, 362 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:15.480 and she would uh and and she would always tell us that, or she 363 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.160 would come up. She and my dad would come up from New York spend 364 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.759 time in Houston to get their healthcare here. And if there was a little 365 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.119 something that was going on, she'd always sort of look at me and it's 366 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.200 like, remember what dad said, her father, don't get old. But 367 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.400 that is true. You can't escape it. But I know it's I think 368 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.880 what that what Grandpa meant was don't let your mind get old, right. 369 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.640 I think the key is in your mind. I have a good friend. 370 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.759 I know where I was talking about. My good friend of mine. She's 371 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.039 a nurse. She's seventy six years old. She's not practicing anymore. She 372 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.839 has the best attitude of anybody I have seen. She's had two hip replacements, 373 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:03.000 a knee replacement, two shoulder replacements. But this woman is going, 374 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.359 going, going all the time because she has a great positive attitude. She 375 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.359 lives in Connecticut, she has a house up in Vermont. Her husband is 376 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.960 a little bit infirmed and he doesn't really want to do much. She gets 377 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.720 in her car, she drives up to her Vermont. How she does her 378 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.839 planting. She goes to shops and consignement shops and has fun. And we 379 00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.599 go up there and hang out and she just is full of life. And 380 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.680 she's seventy six years old. And we all say we want to be Donna 381 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.039 because she is just living it. He's not letting anything get her down. 382 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:40.799 And that's the key that is true. Now the last part, and this 383 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:45.839 is something you brought up before the show started, the idea of having a 384 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:53.160 network of people to help you get through the rehab, the recovery, the 385 00:31:53.359 --> 00:32:00.640 aftercare. Comment about that both as a patient and as a nurse. Sure, 386 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:07.079 well, the most important thing if anybody is out there contemplating getting any 387 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.880 kind of a hip or replacement, any kind of joint replacement, you do 388 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.319 need to have somebody to care for you. So if you're alone and you 389 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:16.839 don't have any family, no friends, that I could do it. There's 390 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.000 always that option. Even prior to your hospital stay, your doctor will talk 391 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.240 to you and they'll set you up, and you go to a short term 392 00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:29.039 care facility, not a nursing home. You're not going to be you know 393 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.119 a lot of people like I don't want to go to a nursing home. 394 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.000 But you go for rehab a couple of days until you're able to act independently, 395 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.279 get on and off the toilet independently, walk, put your shoes on, 396 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:44.680 put everything on independently. If you go home myself, you know, 397 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.160 my name is back to Galotti because I'm divorced, so I'm living alone. 398 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:53.119 I actually live in it is Galotti. I'm full circle back to Galatti. 399 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.400 But you know I do. I'm fortunate. I do live in the same 400 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.319 house as my daughter and her family, but I my own apartment downstairs, 401 00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:06.079 and it was tough. She was available for me and she was helping me 402 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.119 out. But my first and second night that I was here and in my 403 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:13.000 bed, I'm trying to move over. It was hard to move in bed 404 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.599 and getting up and down, it was it was difficult I didn't have a 405 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.680 partner, and you know, I was laying in bed crying saying, oh 406 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.160 my god, by myself, how did I do this? But I did 407 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.720 it. You know I did it. I had my moment, I let 408 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:28.240 myself cry and I said, all right, knock it off. Yes, 409 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.519 you know how to do this. You could get yourself up and do it. 410 00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:36.920 So I think it's important that you know you do. If you go 411 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.200 into a situation where you have any kind of surgery, it doesn't mean how 412 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:43.519 to be withthopedics. You need that aftercare and you need to talk to your 413 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.920 doctors about it. I don't have anybody. What can I do? Or 414 00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.720 my daughter will stay with me, or my son will stay with me, 415 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.240 or you know, I'm good friend if you if you're alone. Yeah, 416 00:33:53.480 --> 00:34:04.720 And I think a a bigger issue is having a network of friends and people 417 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:10.000 you can count on. Yes, the first cut is always going to be 418 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:19.039 relatives, either a spouse, a sibling, your children, grandchildren, nieces 419 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:23.920 and nephews. And then you have your circle of friends that are neighbors or 420 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.880 people you've known for a while, or part of your people are part of 421 00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:32.920 a church community, some sort of social connection. And I have people that 422 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:40.960 just need a ride after a colonoscopy, and we explain to them, Okay, 423 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.719 we're doing the colonoscopy next week and you get some anesthesia, you cannot 424 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.079 drive, you need somebody to take you home. And they tell me, 425 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:55.000 and they tell me, I don't have anybody, And I'm like, I 426 00:34:55.159 --> 00:35:02.280 know, and I know, and I'm not putting down these individuals that they 427 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.280 are somehow mal aligned, that they don't know a soul in the world. 428 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:14.079 But it's a big problem for your health, let alone your sanity as well. 429 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.480 It is I know here in Connecticut. I don't know if you have 430 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:23.880 it over in Houston, but we have a non medical emergency ride that, 431 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:30.079 yes, people could could get, so we though that is available also too. 432 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.079 I think a lot of people say I don't have anybody. They don't 433 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.039 want to ask for help. They don't want to be a burden. That's 434 00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.639 the big thing. Nobody wants to be a burden to anybody. But I 435 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:44.400 think people want to help. I think people are genuinely good. People are 436 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.199 good. So if you have a neighbor, I have a neighbor who lives 437 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.719 next door to us. I barely know these people, but they came over 438 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.519 and said, if there's anything we could do for you, Celestia, you 439 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.239 need a ride, you need anything. So I think people are good and 440 00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.519 we have to remember that. So even if you feel you don't have somebody, 441 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:01.800 there's got to be a neighbors. It's got to be a niece or 442 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.800 a nephew or somebody who you could ask for help. But if not, 443 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:12.760 you talk to your doctor and the office would have whatever social services are available. 444 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.719 I'm not sure what you have in Texas, but there's just so much 445 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.679 here in New York and Connecticut that you know that I'm aware of, right, 446 00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:23.760 But it's tough. It's tough because when you're alone, and I've experienced 447 00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:29.559 it to a lesser degree, it makes things that much harder, right, 448 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:32.880 right, And it impacts your health, your mental health, your happiness, 449 00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.920 your outlook, and then the outlook impacts how you recover. And I think 450 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:44.079 that's basically the message here tonight with you, that if you look at the 451 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:50.079 pain as the trigger, it impacts your mental health and outlook, which then 452 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.840 negatively impacts your health. It's a vicious cycle that some people just can't get 453 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:59.599 off this ride that will be that will be Celesti, I would say in 454 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:06.079 the next thirty seconds to you know, finish up tonight's program. Think of 455 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:10.159 that and tell everybody tonight, like summarize the message here tonight with you. 456 00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.760 I think I've been in a darker time with my you know pain and yeah, 457 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.920 you know the hip pain and my mental status. But I think it's 458 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.679 empowering, and I think I've used this before you on your show. It's 459 00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:30.159 empowering to take charge of your own health right to realize that I am in 460 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.320 control. Nobody's coming to save the day. There's no white horse come in 461 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.760 here and helping me. Nothing. You're in charge. So I think once 462 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.800 you have that understanding that you're in charge of your health care, you're in 463 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.000 charge of your life, your happiness, your mental health, your physical health. 464 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.480 It's so empowering. That's why I think I am doing so well right 465 00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:52.639 now because I've said that's it, enough of this BS, I'm not going 466 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:58.000 to have the pity party anymore. Take charge of your health and lose a 467 00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:02.840 weight that's gained over the beast, get her done and get back into shape, 468 00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.760 and you know, have this a positive attitude and positive outcome, all 469 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.440 right. I think that on that note, as they say, we will 470 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:19.760 wrap up this show, all right, Celeste Galotti, sister of Joe Galotti, 471 00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:24.079 younger sister. I might say I tormented you. I tormented you as 472 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.679 a child. Oh we should have a show just on that. Yes, 473 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:36.440 yes, yes, we'll talk on sibling relationships. But anyway, Celeste, 474 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.519 thanks, thanks a million, very proud of you and your recovery.
