This week Karen and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! The official day is March 8 but we're taking the whole week off to celebrate the incredible love we have for each other. We'll also be visiting some parks and other fun places, including a fun spot with our wonderful family, Alex, Val and Evie!

Hi Folks,

I recently had an issue with my office website and you were not able to access it. The good news is that it has been repaired and is now available!

You can get there at www.drhogg.com. I think you'll find it very interesting and instructive, especially two sections: "healthy living" and "blog" where I have published lots of ways to improve our lifestyle and health!

Enjoy,

Dr. Hogg

Hi folks,
Karen's birthday is today and she has continued to heal very well. Her Cardiologist has stated that she is actually healing ahead of schedule! She's now able to perform most normal activities with only a minor need for help here and there.

Thanks again for all your help with prayers and healing energy!

Hello Folks!

Karen has healed enough to help us have another fun Halloween in the office last week. Here's some pictures!

Karen just got out of her open heart surgery and the surgeon reported to me. Everything went as expected for optimal surgery, no problems! Karen will be in CEU section the rest of the day and possibly tomorrow for first recovery steps and to make sure no problems develop. She will be going up to the regular part on the hospital today or tomorrow for continued healing and physical therapy for the next several days.

As you probably guess, I'm feeling much happier and more relaxed. Thank you again for your positive thoughts, blessings and prayers!

You may have heard that Karen is in the hospital with heart problems. On Thursday afternoon she had severe chest pain and our home EKG tested showed she had heart aFib. I called 911 and they came, worked on her a bit and took her to Genesis East hospital. She had worse heart tests than she had in 2019 when she also had aFib. It turned out that she has severe heart vein blockages from 80% to 95%. Fortunately, she did not have much heart damage yet which may suggest the the blockage has not been there a long time. She is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. We're in the process of deciding whether she will have stints or open heart surgery. With stints, she may only be in the hospital for a couple of days after the surgery. With the much more invasive open heart surgery, she will be in the the hospital for a week after surgery.

Please send your love, energy and prayers toward her healing and best recovery from the best surgery. BTY, she is in room 4411 of Genesis East.

I won't be working in the office next week as we prepare for the surgery and I support Karen.

Karen just reminded me that, today March 15 is the anniversary of when I started my practice 39 years ago! It's been a wonderful 39 years, working on hundreds of very wonderful people.

Looking forward to celebrating many more March 15 dates!

None of us are fond of pain! There are a number of causes such as injuries, infections, digestive problems, autoimmune issues, nerve pressure and complex inflammatory issues. We get good results in the office most of the time as we clear the causes of the pain. While most patients get good results fairly quickly, some patients are more complex and take longer to clear the underlying causes of pain. As you may know, I don't like to give up on difficult cases and will continue working with patients as long as they want me to. Many times I've found that problems we thought were never going to be completely cleared, actually were resolved with longer work and sometimes new techniques. Of course this sometimes takes several years to reach the best resolution!

When it takes time to clear pain, it's often useful to take pain killers like aspirin and Tylenol. These don't correct the causes of pain but they help to clear it temporarily. Of course they have side-effects. Taking them now and then is usually no problem but taking them every day over months can increase the underlying causes of pain. One of the common side effects of long-term pain killer use is increased arthritis and joint degeneration.

Fortunately, there are natural foods and herbs that can decrease pain on several levels *without* negative side effects! I recently read a nice article that talks about a number of foods/herbs that I known about for pain release. It's a nice article and in addition to listing the foods and herps it talks about the type of pain each is useful for. It also gives recipes and other ways to use the herps and prepare them.

I hope you find this article helpful!
