Passions Lost, Passions Gained – Empty Nesters It’s Time To Live Life

We have partnered with United Medicare Advisors to bring you this valuable information. This is my road to Medicare with my own opinions.

 

When we were a young healthy couple, you would often find us going out together, and then as a family once we had children. We loved to go to concerts and dance, go to festivals and dance, and it seemed we were at an amusement park at least once a month. In the summer we would hit the beach for volleyball, body surf the waves, or sit in the sand building sand castles. Travel and shopping were the norm and I never had to worry about what seat either of us had on a plane.

Our bodies changed slowly, like how the landscape changes along a riverbank. It’s when the river meets the ocean and collides that all of a sudden you wonder what happened. You anticipate the pain you’ll be in if you sit in a middle seat on the plane with no leg room, you know if you sit in the sand you’ll need help to get up or you’ll need to roll to get yourself up.

You’re faced with your favorite activities being a challenge and you feel as if you gave in to Father Time and accepted what you couldn’t do anymore. United Medicare Advisors gives you the information to turn back the tide. They help find the quality Medigap or Supplement that is right for you with the best value. This lets you concentrate on the passions you love.

We decided long ago that we would not fall into that trap. Because we stay healthy and active, we’re able to enjoy life. There are a few things we can’t do like we used to, but we still go to concerts and dance, go to festivals and dance, we may not go on ALL the rides at amusement parks but there are still a lot we do! Sand castles are better than ever and waves don’t stop us.

Stay active and healthy by having the health insurance that’s right for you. Health insurance doesn’t need to be confusing, and United Medicare Advisors will educate you, from finances to enrollment to plans.

Every year, enrollment for Medicare is from October 15th – December 7th. United Medicare Advisors #MedicareSimplified Campaign was designed to create a community around and conversation about Medicare Enrollment. By learning all we need to learn and being prepared, we can concentrate on our passions gained.

    This is important information for any empty nester to know. Even if you think you have great coverage, you should still look around to see if there’s anything better. Things change every year!

    Having the right insurance is so important no matter what your age. One should always be looking for the best coverage possible since things can change from year to year.

    My husband and I don’t go on all the rides at the parks either. I don’t blame you and yes, you get limitations later on and life but you can work around it!

    I’m glad I’m not alone in this. My body is definitely changing and I can’t do what I used to.

    It is so important to have the right insurance. United Medicare Advisors sound like they help make it a lot easier to get set up. We have a few more years and we will be empty nesters as well.

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
