    Yooly, 18 months in, I remain confused as to a full diagnosis, prognosis, treatment plan or goals. I know that the specialist wants me to lower my blood pressure even though it is in the normal range and to not exercise in the upper part of the vigorous/high intensity HR range or into the peak range. So to keep HR below 140bpm basically. Neither of which was even mentioned by the cardiologist who referred me to him.

    The cardiologist keeps telling me don't worry, its just a little extra tick in the ecg graphs. No restrictions or concerns. In the meanwhile the MRI study was an evaluation for an implantable defibrillator--which was news to me when the MRI tech mentioned it 🤷‍♂️

    Yup. Having fun!

    The tech probably shouldn’t be offering opinions. The MRI may have multiple diagnostic functions. Like to see if any else is going on. So relax -
    I speak from some hairy personal experience. And hey I’ve made to 77!

    I thought about it a bit. And studies are interesting in that they can both rule something in OR rule it out and remove it from consideration ... or be inconclusive 🤷‍♂️

    Cheering for the ruling out Pav.

    One of those things things might add on Some weight - Why would The technician be saying such things???

    Holding on out here …

    Should be home on the weekend of November 4 …

    MIL died on Sunday.
    It was brutal...brought up so many memories of dad, who like MIL developed cancer cachexia and wasted away before our eyes. MIL weighed 45kg when she was finally too weak to draw another breath.
    I, on the other hand, have been mainlining sugar for the past two months, while doing no exercise of any kind, other than to sit beside a hospital bed. Unsurprisingly, I'm now 4kg outside my maintenance range.
    I care about it...a bit...but once you've seen someone starve to death (for the second time) it sort of puts things in perspective.
    All of my clothes are tight so I need to do something about it, but everything feels a bit hard at the moment..

    Nods & tears @Bella_Figura - this is just the tuffest... very hard emotionally, and after the grief goes so deep, so long i wondered why the world did not stop to cry with me - if the sun would ever shine again... it can be hard to even imagine feeling like sunshine again - please know we hold you in our thoughts, and please do not feel guilty for whatnot, as you grieve. Heap extra loads of tlc and patience on yourself... - do what is possible as possible but don't fret the rest, you will get there too... biggest ... hugs to you and your family...

    Ah Bella, I’m so sorry. Navigating life can be so difficult and frustrating. Give yourself plenty of time and rest. The diet will readjust with some peace and mindfulness.

    Are you looking forward to getting home Laurie? Is the Newfoundland house “done”? Can’t wait to have you active in our group again.

    Looking forward to Laurie and Bella coming by.

    The cancer broken insides? Did it once with mom. Don't want to do it again. Sad for you Bella that you had to go through this again. 🫂

    In defense of the poor tech she was just confirming that she had the right person for the correct procedure. Literally following protocol: you are Bob and you're here to replace your right knee today..... cause if you are Free and you think you're here for your left eye cataracts do I ever have some news for you!

    Not on her that the doc hadn't bothered to discuss why he was ordering the MRI!

    Anyway.... let's see if I will rate an in office or just a phone call follow up 🤷‍♂️

    And in the meanwhile Bella, the perspective is for you to live YOUR best life. Sure. Food and thin is not everything. But regaining to the point you're impacted and unable to do the things you enjoy IS an issue. So. New leaf. Time to take care of Bella again. Take care doesn't mean dive into a diet mind you. Just take care of YOUR needs.

    And ms Laurie? How is the house happening and how are you? De leaves are falling!🤯

    Back to Home number 1 - not sure which home is home really at the moment - but I am in the "other" one now :)

    My condolences, Bella. So for you and your hubby.
