NEXT MONTHLY MEETING

ERIE STATION GRILLE
70 East Avenue
TALLMADGE. OHIO
This month, Marie Smith is planning a wonderful "table talk" discussion for us.
Again, we try and plan "safely" during the winter months and not have speakers, due to unpredictable weather.
Please take time to think about/mull over/meditate on the following before the meeting.
Our table talk topic this month is:
"ATTITUDES AND AFFAIRS OF THE HEART." In her book, "Post-Polio Syndrome:
A Guide for Polio Survivors and Their Families", Julie K. Silver, M.D., lists four coping
strategies (pgs. 256-259) that may be helpful when dealing with polio-related issues in our lives:
1)
Adapt to a range of emotions
2) Accept
something less than perfect
3) Take
back control
4) Develop a support network
How
have these strategies impacted your life? What emotions and attitudes have you lived
with or intentionally changed to help you cope with post-polio and aging limitations? What would you suggest
to other members of our group to help us better cope with the losses we experience as we age?
