I Cardiac rehab center helps patients recover from fears SECTION 2-PAGE 17- 13.1984 Heart attack. Those two words can bring an over­ whelming sense of despair to a patient hospitalized with a cardiac condition. Chances are the patient suspects that his best years are over. He worrries that he'll never be able to resume all of the activities he once enjoyed. Feeling damaged or crippled, the heart attack patient may be certain that life, as he has known it, is over. "More than likely he's wrong', say the cardiac rehabilitation team at Memorial Hospital in Woodstock. "Statistics show that well over 80 percent of heart attack patients return to full and active lives. However, just how well a patient's recovery progresses often depends on the patient himself." The cardiac rehabilitation program at Memorial Hospital is a program of patient education combined with gradual increases in activity and Four hurt in accident in Woodstock Nancy A. Witt-Deeringer, 418 N. Waters Edge Drive, McHenry, and her three passengers, were taken to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County by Woodstock Rescue Squad following a one-car ac­ cident June 6 near Woodstock. The accident occurred at 4:20 p.m. on Bull Valley Road, west of Fleming Road, when the driver lost control of her westbound vehicle, which left the road then crossed both traffic lanes, coming to a stop against a tree, sheriffs police report. The injured passengers in­ clude Cory Deeringer, 11, Michele Miller, 11, and 2-year- old Caroline Cruz, all of McHenry. Ann E. Lauer, 4309 W.

"Our goal is to optimize the cardiac patient's long-term physical and psychological adaptation to coronary disease through a program of education, physical conditioning, and psychological support," says Kathi Harrison, nurse coordinator for the program. Rehabilitation begins as soon as the physician feels that the patient's physical condition has stabilized in the Intensive Care Unit. The nurses immediately begin exercising the patient's arms and legs to prevent muscles from becoming weak while the patient is cm bedrest. Within a few days the patient is sitting up in a chair. Once the patient is transferred to the Intermediate Care Unit, the real work begins. Patients and their families attend classes to familiarize them with the structure and function of the heart, coronary risk factors, activity, diet therapy and medication therapy. Family members are always en- couraged to attend because they play an important role in the patient's recovery after discharge. The nurses caring for the patient do the cardiac teaching. A hospital dietitian conducts the diet therapy class, and a hospital pharmacist in­ structs the patients about then- medication. The patients also begin a more aggressive exercise program, starting with warm-up stret­ ching exercises and progressing to brisk walks in the hospital corridor. Preparing the cardiac patient for discharge is an exciting, but sometimes anxiety-producing s process. "Patients have come to depend on us for guidance in what they can and cannot do, and are sometimes fearful of striking out on their own. To allay these fears they are given guidelines by their physician and nurse of home activities they can do. If the patient has stairs at home, we often will have him do monitored stair climbing a day or two before discharge. We try to find any barrier they may encounter before they go home and give them help in handling it." Lions to offer hearing screenings Free hearing screenings will be offered to adults in the community on Thursday, June 21, when the Lions of Illinois Foundation mobile screening unit will be at Woodstock. The new unit, a self-contained vehicle, will be manned by local lions Club members, who want to help Illinois citizens become aware of hearing problems, the importance of hearing con­ servation and the medical and mechanical help that is available to those with hearing difficulties. The free health service will be provided from 9 a.m. to noon, June 21 on Van Buren Street, in front of the Woodstock Opera House. f tfis fi J\!iq 6305 Northwest Hwy Crystal Lake, IL Wni l r i s I f jdm Auto Appi ' i i i . i nc f 1 Spec ia l i s t s ASSOCIATE • DEALER t PRESERVE-A-SHINE SEALS & PROTECTS NEVER WAX AGAIN • HAND WASH • VINYL ROOFS RESTORED • PAINT SEALANT AND TREATED • BUFF WAX • LEATHER A VINYL • BUFF OUT TREATMENT • PAINT T0UCM4JPS .
