I am a firm believer that a blog is something you should enjoy - and if you beat yourself up about how often you post, that defeats the purpose. Post when you can - and if life is too busy, we all get it. And we'll be here when you have time! We love you!!!<BR/><BR/>I can understand your fears over your mom's surgery. Just remember the doctors know what they are doing. And all of us out here are pulling for her. <BR/><BR/>I hear you on the cholesterol meds. I have those lovely genetics too - doesn't matter what I do, I need to be on the meds. Both my parents are too. I'd choose otherwise if I could, but it's just another card we've been dealt. <BR/><BR/>Love the picture of you and Lee Ann. So wish I lived closer. For 3 years Pea lived in Moorsetown, NJ so I was down there ALL THE TIME. (Must be close, because it was right outside Philly.) Figures that was before I met you. :( <BR/><BR/>Big hugs, and e-mail if you need someone to lend an ear!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-18836126559308987282009-01-20T22:15:00.000-05:002009-01-20T22:15:00.000-05:00Hey darlin'.

My dad had his first heart attack around 45, but it was never clear to me if that was because of genetics or because of smoking, but HIS dad died from a heart attack, so I am wondering if I'm climbing that genetic ladder toward heart disease. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking about you and your mom. Believe it or not, my mom just got scheduled for a knee replacement at the end of March!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736560319375682384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-71388441520955994062009-01-20T20:11:00.000-05:002009-01-20T20:11:00.000-05:00Cara - Thanks for the kind words and prayers my fr...Cara - <BR/>Thanks for the kind words and prayers my friend. <BR/>Yes, I'm stressing about anything and everything as of late - blog included. Keep us posted on how those "Shots" of good Cholesterol works out!<BR/><BR/>CP-<BR/>Thanks so much for your positive words and thoughts- I really appreciate them!<BR/>P.S - I always use PS - call me nostalgic- but it works, pinjamb or not!<BR/><BR/>G-Ninja - <BR/>No tears, but I will take all the positive thoughts and prayers you can muster up!<BR/>I thought LeeAnn and I looked pretty rocking in our hats as well- but reading your thoughts regarding the subject just confirmed it!<BR/>And your spot on regarding the meds-and the bacon!<BR/>THANKS!<BR/>k2k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-17625234075520246872009-01-20T18:17:00.000-05:002009-01-20T18:17:00.000-05:00If it makes you feel any better I produced some te...If it makes you feel any better I produced some tears for you and your mom. Parents are precious. I will pray for her and you and especially the surgeons. <BR/><BR/>Um, could you and Lee Ann look any cuter with your hats? I love hats and you guys ROCK them. So cool. <BR/><BR/>And the cholesterol thing…. My dad died of a heart attack when he was 43. When my cholesterol was a smidge high and told him I wanted to be on meds. Don’t beat yourself up, genes are what they are. You didn’t do anything.<BR/><BR/>AND DO NOT STOP EATING BACON! That cannot happen.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508213573891885604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-85444233259033801112009-01-20T18:09:00.000-05:002009-01-20T18:09:00.000-05:00My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom....My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.<BR/>I wish only the best for her surgery and recovery....your recovery too.<BR/><BR/>Everytime my mom tells me she has been to the Doctor's my heart skips a beat.<BR/><BR/>Life is short. Life is precious.<BR/><BR/>Woo hoo on the A1C. Sorry genetics has a hold on your cholesterol. Preventative is always a good measure. And bitching is always good. ;-)<BR/>And, OMG, I should have never left Philly, my Endo has NEVER given me insulin! Coupons but not insulin!!!! I am beyond Envious! No health insurance, no more Lilly Cares Program and nada, I didn't even get a call back from my CDE!!!<BR/>Well, more reason to voice my concerns and advocate.<BR/><BR/>Awesome to have lunch with someone that understands. Great pic!!!<BR/><BR/>And yeah, Go America. GoBama.<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/>And seriously, Don't Apologize.<BR/>Life happens. Quickly.<BR/>Take care of you so you can be there for your mom.<BR/>That is more important than your blog. Do appreciate the update but still, you come first woman. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Does anyone use that anymore? Any who. Had to share my word verification: pingamb. My initial thought was pinjamb for some reason, in the recesses of my crazy mind there is a reason I thought of it...Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03920320645744084041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-62452140251197170942009-01-20T18:01:00.000-05:002009-01-20T18:01:00.000-05:00Don't worry about not posting.

I get the feeling that you feel about your mom, the way I feel about mine (CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER!!!!), so I will be double timing my prayers. <BR/>Also, I've been on cholesterol meds for the past couple of years. And at my appointment on Tuesday, my doc took me off! Kind of ironic, huh? But he just did it cause he thinks I'm gonna get pregnant. I told him there's no chance, but he doesn't seem to understand that. So he told me to drink these promise active supershots (little yogurt drinks) every day cause they are supposed to lower your cholesterol by 15%. We'll see how that goes.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108867545803896885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-69200732819048688772009-01-20T17:29:00.000-05:002009-01-20T17:29:00.000-05:00Lora- I'm all about the ounce of prevention - ...Lora- <BR/>I'm all about the ounce of prevention - I guess I just need to bitch. For the longest time my Cholesterol was good, actually great. The fact that this past year it's been on a bit of rollercoaster ride, just reminded me of genetics. <BR/>Thanks for understanding!<BR/><BR/>Scotty J -<BR/>Yep - I'm preventing & technology and science is wonderful- that's what I always say to others.<BR/>For some reason I thought I'd outsmart genetics- shame on me!<BR/>It was great having lunch with Lee Ann!

You're not treating something, you're preventing something. Being aggressive! <BR/><BR/>Very cool that you and Lee Ann were able to get together! I love meet ups.Scott K.

It's not that my numbers were bad, it's just that given my family's history of heart disease, my endo wanted to add an ounce of prevention. I'm on a low dose and it's keeping everything in the "excellent" range. I hated adding the one more med (especially before it went generic and was super-expensive and not covered by insurance), but if it keeps me from the fate of my very beloved grandmother, who died of a heart attack when I was 17, then I'm willing to swallow one more pill.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184157905530126284noreply@blogger.com
