I think I caught up, and wanted to say I'm glad your enjoying
your kiwi.

Keep up the good work reading. I hope that sounds right.
Just meaning enjoy your reading.

thanks. I am back in the depression. I talked to Robert yesterday and I told him I bought the new cellphone with an additional year plus an addition 1200 minutes. I hope he helps me figure it out. I got a strange email from the seller saying they needed my signature and I didn't understand. I got totally stressed.
I don't know what to do. Whenever I do something new I get totally stressed and then start obsessing, The whole thing cost 141 dollars and I kept on telling myself I don't really need a cellphone except for emergencies and if I lost the 141 dollars it would be okay.My world is so tiny now. A lot of times it is so painful.
I got the new meals on wheels. No longer will I get the veggie burger six days a week and then throw it out. This will come every tuesday. They made a mistake and gave me more vegetarian meals which are quite good and I decided maybe it was better than meat meals because of my cholesterol so I won't ask to change.
I go to the new cardiologist at 4. I will show him my cholesterol numbers and say I don't want to take Praulent because more than half the reviews were negative. I will tell him I changed my diet and now have two kiwis a day.
He will think I am crazy but I am. I talked to Marci a lot yesterday. Her presence and wonderful attitude help my sanity twice a week when she comes.

Real life, of course, is not quite so clear-cut. For example, a 2015 review of previous studies by two Brazilian researchers concluded that rumination is present in all bipolar phases and may reflect a hitch in the brain’s executive function (a set of processes relating to planning, organizing, and self-regulation)."

Don't sign anything unless you feel comfortable and understand it. Simply say no otherwise.

I am so glad to hear the meals on wheels are better. This is a big positive in your life as nutrition is critical for our well being.

You speak of my old friend "rumination" (or should I say enemy). I have to keep busy doing something physical, even just get up and walk laps in my room, when my mind starts to over think things. It is wasted precious energy. I understand the frustration. Planning, organizing and self-regulation are not my strong suits!

My world has become smaller also. Some by choice and otherwise beyond my control with being unable to work.

You are sounding like you are feeling better overall. I pray that your cardiology appointment goes well. Is this for a second opinion on the new Cholesterol med?

Take care

thank you. I called ebay and it just meant that when the phone is delivered it has to be signed for. I have a doorman.
It is for a second opinion but I can't take anymore side effects so hopefully through diet my cholesterol will benefit. I had a stroke three years ago so I have a hard time walking and doing exercises. I have a recumbent bike but last time I used it I had more aches and pains. I guess I should do it again but for three minutes instead of six.

I transferred my annuity into a money market a little while ago because I just couldn't take the stress but I still follow the market everyday

The bike sounds good. I would do it for one minute and work up from there. I watch the market as we both have our retirement in 401k and IRAs. I don't mess with much as they are long term investments. The last several days have been a roller coaster!

I am 75. a lot of people think the market should go a lot higher! It was just too much stress. I will take your suggestion.

I think working the one minute then working another minute if your
not to sore the next day is a good idea. Then doing the two minutes
for a while and then seeing if you can add another minute or half a minute
without it being too much.

Even if you can do the extra minute say 2 or three days a week, not in a row.

I went to Zeynep's cardiologist. He was so nice and probably in his late seventies. He knew all about the drug and explained it to me. He saw my blood tests and said that I should take the drug. He asked me a lot of questions and I had an ekg.
i will take the drug. He recommended 150 and the other cardiologist wrote a prescription for 75

I'm glad he explained it all to you. I think this might have
probably been what you needed. Are you maybe going
to change cardiologist now too.

Just curious.

Donna

Will you call the first cardiologist and request an increase to 150?
Is having the new cardiologist be your md? Is that an option?
It sounds like he spent time with you which I like and explained things to you.
