Pets are important part of the familyBySamanthaMazzotta

Dear Paws: I wanted to add my two cents to the question, “Are pets people too?” I believe they are a big part of a family. Animals are smarter than people. Dogs are the only ones who are so happy to see us when we come home! -- Anna L. M., Melbourne, Fla.

DearAnna:You make a good point! I’ve neverseenmy dogsmopewhen Iwalked in the door;rather,theyalwaysarerighttheretogreetme.Petsdoenrichourlives,andmanyofusconsiderthemtobeapartofthefamily.

Dear Paws: I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be alive without my dog “Blake.” I’m a senior citizen; my wife passed away three years ago, and most of my children live too far away to visit regularly. Blake sleeps at the side of my bed every night

and at exactly 6 a.m. every morning he sits up next to me, licks my face until I’m awake. He’s so happy when I get out of bed that he turns in circles nonstop until I get dressed so I can take him out for his morning walk.

At my last checkup, my doctor said those morning walks are helping keep my blood pressure under control and I seem in good spirits. I do enjoy taking care of Blake and he’s the one who kept me going after my wife passed. Blake is family to me and no one can tell me different. Sign me -- Stubborn Old Bob in Palmyra, N.Y.

DearBob:That’stelling‘em!Thankyoufortellingyourstory.ItsoundslikeBlakeistakingcareofyouasmuchasyoutakecareofhim.

To Your Good Health ByPaulG.Donohue,M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have sleep apnea. Before being treated by a sleep specialist, I was very sleepy during the day and had no energy. My specialist prescribed a mask that pumps air into my nose. It helps somewhat. Later a friend told me about Provigil. It makes me feel much better, but I am not 100 percent. What else could help me? -- J.K.

ANSWER: “Apnea” is Greek for “no breathing.” Sleep apnea is periods during sleep when a person stops breathing for 10 or more seconds. There can be five to 30 or more such spells every hour. Quite often, an apneic period is preceded by snoring that gets progressively louder and louder. At the end of the no-breathing episode, the person grunts and half-wakens and then starts breathing again. This fragments sleep and leaves the person sleepy and without energy the next day.

The problem lies in a narrowed passageway for air as it travels through the throat en route to the lungs. Redundant throat tissue blocks the natural airflow.

Weight loss is one way to get rid of excess throat tissue, if one is overweight. Don’t drink any alcohol from the evening meal on, because it relaxes throat tissue.

The mask you wear is called CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). It delivers air under pressure so it can pass through the obstruction in

Loud Snoring Can Signal Sleep Apnea

the throat. Don’t abandon it.

You can ask your dentist about fashioning a device that keeps the jaw forward during sleep. That opens the throat too. Stick with your Provigil, since it’s working for you.

There are a number of surgical procedures that can pare excess tissue from the back of the throat. And there is a new remedy called the Pillar Palatal Implant System. It consists of three small, plastic rods inserted into the back part of the upper palate to keep it propped up. For some, a droopy palate obstructs airflow.

Since you’re doing pretty well with the way things are going now, you might not want to upset things with any more treatment.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 68-year-old male in excellent health who exercises regularly, but I have trouble sleeping for more than five or six hours a night. To get the desired seven to eight hours of sleep, I’ve been taking a sleep aid (diphenhydramine), and have not noticed any unpleasant side effects.

Are there any long-term problems with taking this sleep aid on a frequent basis? -- S.P.

ANSWER: Diphenhydramine is one of the first antihistamines to be marketed. One brand name is Benadryl. Sleepiness is a side effect of most of the early antihistamines. In other words, you take the medicine for its side effect of drowsiness.

Millions of people have taken this drug since it was first marketed. You can take it on a regular basis.

Why are you convinced that six hours of sleep is insufficient for you? Do you feel tired during the day with only six hours? If you feel fine or if you take a nap during the day, that might be all the sleep you actually need.

• It was way back in the 17th century when noted Scottish scholar Patrick Young made the following sage observation: “The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.”

• About once a week, a frog will shed its skin. Then eat it.

• If you’ve watched many old Westerns, you’ve doubtless seen Native Americans scalping their enemies. You probably don’t realize, though, that the brutal practice didn’t originate with the Indians. When the Dutch and English settlers were trying to clear out the natives, they were paid a bounty for each scalp they brought back. The Native Americans adopted the practice only after the Europeans’ arrival on the continent.

• The country’s first pizzeria opened in 1895 in, unsurprisingly, New York City.

• Those who study such things say that 70 percent of Americans have visited either Disneyland, in California, or Disney World, in Florida.

• If you want to have an especially memorable -- and chilly -- vacation, consider heading to Finnish Lapland. There, more than 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, you can stay at the Kakslauttanen Hotel. The quarters aren’t luxurious, but the sights are amazing. All the accommodations are geodesic glass igloos, offering amazing views of the aurora borealis.

• Are you a snollygoster? If so, you’re shrewd, which isn’t a bad thing, but you’re also rather lacking in principles.

• When Andrew Jackson was running for president in 1828, his opponents called him a stubborn jackass. Jackson was proud that he was known for obstinately sticking to his guns, so he started using the image of a donkey on his campaign materials. The Democrats have been using that symbol ever since.

Truex Works Through a Season of Bad Luck It’s tempting

tothinkthatMar-tin Truex Jr. hasclouds hangingover him similarto the ones that enshrouded Wat-kinsGlenInterna-

tional.

Only it’s been overcast inTruex’scareerforagoodbitof thetime since June 4, 2007, when hewonaNASCARSprintCupraceatDover (Del.) International Speed-way. He finished 11th in the pointstandings that year. Through 2009,TruexcompetedforDaleEarnhardtInc.HenowdrivestheNo.56NAPAToyotaforMichaelWaltripRacing.

In the past three years, Truexhasfinished15th,23rdand22nd,re-spectively,inthestandings.EnteringtheHeluvaGood!SourCreamDipsattheGlen,heranked22nd.

“Bad luck is a tough thing,”Truexsaid.“I’vehadmyshareofitthe past few years.

“People say youmake your own luck,and you do, somewhat. Buttherearetimeswhenthereisnothingyoucandoaboutit.”

Truex, 31, doesn’thave much to show forthe current season. HefinishedsixthatLasVe-gasMotor Speedway inthe season’s third race.Since then he has col-lected eighth-place fin-ishes atDover, Infineon(Sonoma,Calif.)andLoudon,N.H.

“Luckplaysabigpartinwhatwedo,” said theMayetta,N.J., na-tive.“Ittakesamillionthingstogoright to win of these races. It onlytakesonetogowrong...aflat tire,the caution coming at the wrongtime, a debris caution after you pitundergreen...thingslikethat.

“There are some things where it doesn’t matter what you do, you can’tchangethem--andthat’sluck.

Andit’stoughtodealwith,especial-lywhenyou’vehadagooddayandyourteam’sdoneeverythingright.”At this point, making the Chase isoutside the realm of practical con-sideration.

“Youhavetojustforgetaboutlastweek,move forward, try to dothebestyoucanwithwhatyouhaveand you know when your team is doing good andwhen they’re not,”saidTruex.“Youjusthavetoforgetaboutall thosebad thingsandpushforward and work on the things you cancontrol.”

Martin Truex’s 4th-place finish at Watkins Glen on Au-gust 15 was his best of the season. However, with his last win in 2007, Truex has been caught up in a streak of bad luck. (Photo: John Clark/NASCAR This Week)
