Dear Pat: Thanks! I must say it was quite an experience -- and in some ways, it's still not over. This whole thing brought out a lot of emotional issues -- meaning, my husband really got upset when he thought I might be seriously ill. Weirdly, even though I am supposedly in great cardiac health -- he refuses to let this issue go. Although my blood levels are within normal range, they're considered normal high. So all of a sudden, EVERYTHING I do is under scrutiny. Salt shakers are being yanked out of my hand. Although I serve fish for dinner twice a week, I've been told I eat "too much meat" -- and am being instructed to shop differently. He wants me to make more fish... This is REALLY crazy. When I say my calcium scores were good -- I mean they are so good that I have virtually no blockage whatsoever. But because my husband thought he might lose me -- now I am being pressured to "take better care" of myself!!! How crazy is that? If I wasn't doing "right things" for myself -- I imagine the test would have been bad. This whole thing is maddening. I only have beef once a week and he's trying to take it away from me! I want my MEAT!!!  ;D Seriously though, I hope he calms down soon. He's working himself up trying to "fix" something that isn't broken. Oh well, at least I know I'm loved. --Debutante His over reaction could be adrenalin related, Deb. I'm glad you're doing well and hopefully, hubby will soon recognize that fact, too. He's behaving like someone who is afraid....afraid that he might be without you. Hopefully this take charge attitude will lessen and you can continue doing what you are doing to keep yourself healthy. Keep up the good work....  |

I don't understand why fish is considered so healthy when pregnant women are warned to avoid it or overdue it due to high mercury contents. I'm not a fish eater btw, nor do I go in for anything that lives in water.
Eat more veggies & fruit. I'm happy for you that you are not diabetic. It's a real pain in the ass. I always wondered why so many diabetics are depressed, but I know now. It's a bitch!
Want the best for you deb, always.
I can walk, pain-free & assistance free, for the first time in SEVEN years. I have been misdiagnosed all those long years when I could have been walking, painFree. I have my life back, finally, but after 10 years of illness I'm really not sure what to do with myself yet. By the time I figure it out I hope I'm not dead. All those years, all those long pain filled sitting in my apartment YEARS. No point in dwelling, I have life to do. Whatever that was.
