How to keep a Medical/Health Record
If you had to go to the hospital and could not speak for yourself, would your family know all of the illnesses and operations that you have had in your lifetime? If you were disoriented and had mental confusion would you be able to recall medical problems from past years? Chances are that you wouldn't, it isn't something that we generally talk about, but it is something that we should all be concerned about and if possible have the information handy for someone to find.
A Scary Feeling
Not too long ago, a friend of mine had a grandchild that was ill and her grandmother was asked if a certain illness ran in the family. Since all of the older generation in her family had passed on, she had no one that she could ask. This luckily wasn't a life or death situation, but it sure did make her and her children think about making a 'Health list' of all of the illnesses and medical problems that they had.
Either copy and paste this into Word or Works and print, or highlight it and print it out. Please take the time to fill this in, not only for yourself, but also for every member of your family. This can be handed down through generations and the next generation will always know the illnesses to watch out for.
