This will be a cool thing for those kids!

It will be a cool thing until the horses do do what horses do do! 🤣 💩

After a week of AL's gloomy grey/gray overcast weather It was a real treat to see this even for just a few moments. You have to stop and take it in. It never gets old. Blessed to live where I do. Happy free for all Friday!

Am looking forward to 2025 - Gonna get my heart fixed!! Yeah, busy life gave me excuses to delay healthcare stuff. Well, the cardio folks finally caught up with me and January's now loaded with more test, cath procedures, etc.

FYI, these cardio peeps are THOROUGH & TOUGH!! I mean, visiting my family doc's always been fun. He's a long-time buddy, grew up Montana, did residency in Alaska. We enjoy sharing wildlife pics, stories, etc. Our PA daughter 'n law wasn't happy with my doc's follow-up, demanding I see these specialist - She was right.

This diagnosis is a blessing! Some 20% of people with cardiovascular disease find out after a fatal heart attack and many more only after debilitating symptoms. I feel fine!

Cheers

Had the heart cath lab intervention today - Doc gave me an All Clear - 👍 !! Said sometimes their CT imaging overemphasizes plaque deposits and that 70% blockage's actually ~ 30%. No treatments needed and I'm good to go!

So very glad to hear that everything turned out ok @Kenneth.
I had the same thing done about 8 years ago and they said that there is a plaque build up in your arteries, but through a CT scan they couldn’t tell how much but that there is plaque.
This all stems from my parents who have very high cholesterol, and it’s hereditary.
I’ve been able to get my cholesterol down to about 185 during Thanksgiving and Christmas, and during the spring and summer months with statins it’s around 165.
A few years ago (more like 20) my cholesterol was for the longest time up around 325 and that’s when I was strongly recommended statins to start bringing it back down.
It took approximately 3 or 4 years to finally bring it back down to what was close to normal (around 200).
What really woke me up was when my brother who is one and a half years younger than me, and in much better shape, had a heart attack.
He was so fortunate to realize that something wasn’t quite right, and he went to the clinic who told him you need an ambulance right now.
He just got to the hospital when his heart stopped and they had to use paddles to bring him back.
My mom called us early in the morning and said “Doug had aheart,” and I said “Doug who”……”YOUR BROTHER.”
He was only 42 when it happened!!!

It didn’t really hit me until I saw him at the hospital and he showed me the burns from the paddles when they shocked him back, I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Anyhoo!!!
I’m still trying my best to keep my cholesterol below 200, I know I’m not a real active person, just too many hours at work, and by the time I come home I’m pretty much exhausted.

WOW - Happy your Bro's OK and you've got some control going forward. Gotta luv what these cardio folks can do for us, but they are tough. My LDLs hang out 'round 125, Doc wants that cut in half!

Here's their 'aggie pic' of my coronaries' 30 & 40%ers.

You'll be a prime candidate when they start recruiting settlers to populate the American Commonwealth of Greenland.

I’ll have to get a big lift and glacier tires for the Braptor, but I’m game!

High suicide rate for military personnel in Greenland. I can't imagine living in Greenland. I can't stand living in New England! One of my high school teachers was stationed in Greenland. He told us that soldiers would jump off the buildings.
