Feb 15th ... 75% off of everything that will kill your heart.

I don't eat any of that crap except for the chicken hearts and the
moldable plastic.

And of course I sometimes make an Italian sub (mortadella, salami,
ham, pancetta, Aurruchio provolone, and proscuitto)

I'm going in for a left heart cath next week. You?

Isn't medical science great?!? See your doctors regularly and eat
what you want!

Nothing next week. My husband is going in for a second ablation
on March 11.

It's not always about what you eat. Some of it is how lucky you
were in the genetics lottery.

Well hey, if your aeorta is ready to crap out you might as well eat
whatever the heck you want. Seems to me you've said your heart is in
very poor shape. The cath might help. Good luck!

I'd rate genetics at above 90%.

Ha! 'Great' is definitely the word! ... that is if you are a
doctor and your patients have to take out 2nd and 3rd mortgages
to pay for triple bypasses maybe, yes.

I pay $25 for triple bypasses (singles, doubles, quadruples...
whatever - SAME PRICE!). But it's $35 if they let me go the same
day as an out-patient. And you don't get any free ice chips.
Fuck that!

Either way that's very decent.

My doctor was telling me to watch my diet (30-second speil about
what I shouldn't eat) and convince me to pay the extra $15/month
for Zocor instead of Atorvastatin.

"I take Zocor", he said.

On an educated hunch I asked, "Aren't you a vegetarian?"

BINGO!

Which goes back to what Cindy suggested about genetics.

I blame my high cholesterol on my big, over-active brain. The
average human brain is about 52% cholesterol (lipid fats).
Mine's much bigger/higher and it's leaking into my bloodstream.
I'm contemplating having a court-ordered lobotomy and chemical
castration.

Genetics <sigh>.

My ascending aorta problems are not a result of my diet. It was
from exercising too hard as a teen/young adult. I've measured
4.8cm since I was 26 years old.

I had an Angio CT a few days ago but they don't want to tell me
the results and haven't canceled my physical cath next week.

I'm just trying to get eye surgery, ferchrsitsakes. But ...no....

But you can't exactly expect expedient care when quadruple
bypasses have a co-pay of $25 (and I wouldn't pay the $25 anyway,
not when they already got $155K - what's another $25? Pbbbt! Eat
me!).

Sure. But my husband was throwing so many PVCs that it was
interfering with his life.

Good luck Steve! I was diagnosed with MVR last October which is
generally nothing in the scheme of heart problems.

People can take decisions, you know. I'm going to eat healthy. I'm
going to quit smoking. Enough with the alcohol. I'm going to stop
overeating so I lose weight.

We're not animals, you know.

I don't get Mortadella.  Bologna and fat?

And there were pistachios. I used to think the same thing, but
this was boars head and it was a step above bologna for under
$9/lb. And you won't find pork bologna any more.

Maybe I'll try making some the next time pork butts get to be
$1.29 or less. It's not easy to get right. It's all about the
emulsion...
