    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.

    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.

    Diet coke or diet Pepsi..🤮🤮🤮 to both🤣
    I don't drink pop but I absolutely hate diet drinks. My dad used to drink diet coke so if I really wanted a pop growing up I'd steal one of his but🤮

    I can't juggle to save my life🤣 but can ride a unicycle... Not well or anything though lol

    Rough week for me. Hopefully some of this is water that will quickly disappear this week.

    Here's my This or That this week before I forget to answer it:

    fzcpkw1ser9r.png

    Between Juggle and Ride a unicycle, my thought for including this one in the choices is "which do I WISH I could do" because I can't do either one...think it would be neat to be able to juggle...

    When I drank regular pop, I would have picked Coke in a quick minute...even collected Coke memorabilia at one time...but when I switched to Diet (when my mother was found to be diabetic), I couldn't stand the taste of diet coke...and grew to love Diet Pepsi...weird...don't drink much pop anymore, just the occasional Diet Mountain Dew, but since I had to choose...

    Hope ya'll are having a great weekend!

    I'll get my head back on straight next week. This week was a rough week for me. While I was in Vegas on a business vacation last week one of my residents passed away unexpectedly. She was one of my favorites so needless to say I took it hard.
    Then I had to go back to work this week and deal with the aftermath & everyday I'd get there still expecting to see her at the top of the ramp greeting me like she did every morning.
    So yeah, my eating was a bit rough.
