Well, other than the fact I will prolly be on blood thinners for life (hopefully not like Chris Bosh the pro NBA player from Miami that also had PE's) I will prolly be ok...I'm on a "Flexitorian" diet (means primarily plant based diet both with fish and even meat on occasion).
We all face challenges when we get old...at age 61, I'm paying for the extravagances of youth.
But I'm pretty motivated to last a while longer (even if it's only to be a pain in the ass of some people who really deserve it).
:~)
Holy cow. Good to hear you pulled through. Yes. Two very serious conditions. You were lucky to be in hospital for the aortic abdominal episode. I have family that have to do deal with that. Years ago my step father had it replaced with a plastic one or something like that. Maybe now they're carbon fiber and magnesium like nikon bodies?
I've paid some price too, but it's genetic in my case combined with 'extravagances'...good food, some light exercise, always good for the body and mind. Thanks for that new word. Never heard of 'flexitorian'. Good food for me = as little processed as possible, or nothing packaged. While I used to be vegetarian, over years of trial and error I found with my doctor that some salmon and sardines helped naturally lower my cholesterol, so I stopped being vegetarian. Also, had major muscle problems with any pharmaceutical statins.
Each visit to the cardiologist now they always check my abdominal aortic artery (valve?) I've already got four stents in my heart, lots of time on the table for angiograms. Doctors not taking chances with me.
Looking forward to the updated book. Already have both the digital negative/digital print. Excellent books for me. Thank you, thank you.
Stay healthy...
