13,000 steps
After visiting the cardiologist today, I am back to more exercise. However, I think I overdid it with too many steps.
The doctor gave me more info, emphasizing how I could not miss a dose, asking me if I whaere taking the Eliquis. I had brought some with me, but it turns out it was a box with a coupon for more. He rushed out of the room, got two boxes, opened one, punched a pill through the foil, and told me to take it. I must take this for at least a year.
He told me, emphasized how lucky I was. Only one out of 100 make it alive to the hospital. That is from afib, I think. Then, the surgery is risky. I had tears in my eyes, about to burst out crying.
He is from Israel. I asked him if he were not afraid Trump would deport him. He looked surprised and said he was a citizen. When I told him Trump deports citizens, he looked shocked. Later, Tommy said does he not read?
The whole time was very pleasant. Excellent doctor visit, excellent office staff. Now, I have to take care not to die. We picked up 3 grocery ads, bought a couple of items.
I barely slept last night, so took a nap this afternoon.
For Easter, I have a turkey breast that I will cook with Polynesian sauce from Chick fil A on it, green bean casserole, potato salad, deviled eggs. Maybe something else. We each have a chocolate bunny for dessert.
Car is repaired. More about that later.
