my numbers are close enough to what they want that I can legitimately argue with them to get them to back off.

Having good numbers is not enough, just had 5 stents put in, and my numbers were perfect. Doc called it the "Full Metal Jacket." If I had been exercising, on the tread mill like the doc wanted, I would probably have dropped dead.

I had several nuclear stress tests, which found nothing. Trust your feelings about your body. A 95% blockage of the left artery also known as the widow maker, is not good. Right coronary took the doc 2 hours to open, had to use a drill, and I didn't even know they could do that.

I agree.

You know, when your number is up, it’s up. Nobody lives forever.

Dealing with the food allergy problems I’ve had has really made me face my own mortality. I know where I’m going when I die, and although I’m not in a hurry to get there, better though it will be, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

Needing a drill is pretty bad. I never heard of that either.
