Learn how physiotherapy can help men with Pelvic Health, including incontinence and pain after prostate surgery. Incontinence can be dramatic following prostate surgery or radiation treatment. Men are alarmed by the immediate decrease in their quality of life that comes with being reliant on urinary pads throughout the day. Did you know? The scientific research clearly shows that men who receive physiotherapy BEFORE and AFTER prostate surgery gain control of their bladder quicker. 372 Queen Street, Acton • 519-853-9292 • 333 Mountainview Road South, Georgetown • 905-873-3103 www.eramosaphysio.com greenhousesdg Local growers of fine quality perennials, annuals and herbs for 50 years! 8890 Eighth Line, Georgetown Phone: 905-877-9842 www.dggreenhouses.com 8890 Eighth Line, Georgetown Phone: 905-877-9842 www.dggreenhouses.com COMMENT Every year at this time, people make New Year's Resolutions. In the past, in this column, I've done just that, listed what are the fashionable resolutions every- one flocks to-- stop smoking, lose weight, sim- plify life, join a gym, get fit and a whack of other things. And we all know, by mid-February, they have been reduced to a smoldering pile of ashes, sim- ply a ghost of forgotten, failed good intentions. I have my own take on New Year's Resolutions. I don't do 'em. I've come to the conclusion, I don't need to remind myself how weak and undisciplined I am when it comes to committing to a resolution. Like countless others, I can't make a 'resolution' just because it's the start of a new year. Why do they have to begin at the stroke of midnight New Year's Eve? Why not take that step toward positive change, on another day, perhaps in November, let's say on a Wednesday night around 7:35 p.m.? Having said that, I think I've come up with a concept that works for me. Instead of calling these commitments 'resolu- tions', I refer to them as a 'goal' or a 'target.' Service groups, big business, small business and all other facets of society and life can relate to targets. It's what inspires us to achieve something. We all have campaigns, budgets, targets, goals and a myriad of other titles that we give them, all to achieve an end of some sort, be it financial, so- cial or even spiritual. But we don't call them 'resolutions'. That title makes it personal, as a private commitment to oneself. All these other titles evoke a team effort, and we can get onboard to achieve that end. And like resolutions, we can still fail-- but not feel quite as guilty, or undisciplined. After all, if we have outside influences getting in the way of success, we can, to a point, blame the outside causes. In doing so, it makes it easier for us to get back up on that horse and try again. Now I'm suggesting this should be done in a subtle way, within your own space. I'm not sure your neighbours would be receptive of a huge progress 'thermometer' on the front of the house, charting how much weight you've lost. Matter of fact, your family members might not be receptive either…. in fact, they may try to get you an appointment with some sort of a counselor. But privately, you're tracking your own success with that 'campaign'-- not secretly beating your- self up cuz you had an extra serving of dessert. A case in point: back in November, I decided to become more proactive around the farm. I identified that goal in November-- not on New Year's Eve. And it's a 'goal,' not a 'resolution'. I had the summer machinery stored long before usual, and the snow removal equipment ready in early November. I cannot describe the joy I experienced with the mild weather we experienced in November and December, knowing full well, the moment the weather changed, I was ready. Same with the sheep. They're usually in the barn full time by Dec. 1, but I left them outside until Dec. 27. The barn was ready-- but they're easier to feed outside. The day after I brought them inside, we had freezing rain and crusty snow. I tell ya, you couldn't wipe the smile off my face-- just for being pro-active, achieving my goal. Before you burden yourself with a resolution that will probably fail, try taking a different ap- proach. Make it a goal, or an objective. In doing so, you might just be a bit more suc- cessful. And I know you'll feel a whole lot less pressure to succeed. Resolutions? How about objectives? Or targets? A Ted Bit By Ted Brown tedbit@hotmail.com
