The votes have been cast, the public has spoken, and the decision has been made. No, I'm not talking about the Grammies, Oscars, or even American Idol. I'm referring to the SandwichINK first-ever poll. The response to my question of how you feel about the Twitter resource article once a week was, wonderfully, the same as mine. The content was useful but there was, perhaps, a bit too much. So now I will spotlight my favorite one or two links from Twitter each week AND I am experimenting with a Twitter widget on the right side where you can see all my Twitter comments – the good, the bad, the funny.
That way, you can easily follow me on Twitter here, as well as at the Twitter site – @SandwichINK. I'll definitely keep twittering and tweeting items of interest for Sandwich Generation senior home care givers and grandparents!
Speaking of the right side, you may have noticed some minor tweaks to how SandwichINK looks. I've moved the primary column to the left to make it easier to read if you are using a smart phone. Also, I've added some book ideas for the Sandwich Generation along with some of my grandkids' and my favorite books, Bibles, and DVDs. I'd love to hear what you think of all the changes - whether you love them, hate them, or ?
Today's Spotlight On Twitter is from @AgingSuite. They tweeted an interesting article, Ankles Gain as Candidates for Joint Replacement Surgery, from the New York Times Health section. Did you know that "more than 770,000 hip and knee replacements are performed each year in the U.S.!" And now ankle joint replacement surgery is becoming more popular as well. Though, as this article and its comments point out, it's not without its concerns. Definitely an interesting article to read!
Our family has dealt with hip joint replacement surgery and knee joint replacement surgery. I've even had ankle surgery when I broke my ankle. But this was the first I'd heard of "ankle joint replacement surgery!" How about you? Have you or your family had it or considered it? What are your thoughts on the subject – or on the changes here at SandwichINK. We'd love to hear.
