    I took my bike for a short spin this morning just to check it out. I felt like the handlebar was too low so my son and I spent the next half hour trying to figure out how to raise it. Eventually I called the bike 800 number and they told me they it isn't adjustable. What? I will take another ride tomorrow to check it out, but unfortunately I might have to return it. Ugh.

    Diet and exercise is going great--hope everyone else is hitting their stride too!

    Definitely feeling the effects of Friday the 13th. Those cardiac CT scan results that were so terrific a few days ago? The doctor who called me had interpreted the results wrong. I am actually at high risk for a cardiac event and need to go on medication. Scared. Upset. Shocked. Not the best day.

    Umm...what? Interpreted the results wrong? Wow, sorry.

    Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!! That is such devastating news. I'm assuming medication like high blood pressure meds? My husband has been on those since he was 30 due to genetic risk. It doesn't make that much of a difference to his daily life and I know it's possible to come off of them eventually. Hopefully that is the news you get, and then you can concentrate on self care and let others carry the heavy emotional lifting for awhile.

    Thanks Lacey. Good to know about the high blood pressure meds. That is part of the suggested plan, along with a few other meds, so it’s good to know it doesn’t make much of a difference. Heading out on a short vacation tomorrow, so going to try to be chill for a while 😎

    @Waifer003 Sorry to hear of the Cardiologists "opposite" report...hope that family doctor calls to explain and apologize...that's very unfortunate. BUT, it sounds like you have your head on straight and hopefully this little short vacation will help you gain perspective and clear your head. As a few have said, these meds can be temporary if you make a good plan and begin to work it diligently. I'll be praying for you...I hope to come off my BP meds someday too...long journey ahead...

    Take care of yourself and love on the fam for a few days...that ALWAYS helps...

    @Waifer003 😩
    Oh my goodness,how unprofessional, you would think that sort of mistake couldn't happen??? So hard to take in I bet? Hope you get it sorted & have the correct meds & advice to control it.

    Ramblings of the day
    Caved and ordered food for the first time in 3 weeks. Happy I managed to go without for so long, sad I failed and did it again. Spent 40 minutes angry-biking behind my computer to try to minimize the damage (yeah right). Besides that, today was a home day. Cleaned up a bit and did laundry. I plan to get up really early tomorrow to go for a walk and see if the moor here is in bloom.
