Hootin' Anni's Day Trippin'

Thursday 13 below my health update.

Well, my 1st annual follow-up from my heart ablation at the end of September of last year is over. After doing an EKG and many other tests, I got a good report! I asked several questions and he answered them thoroughly...I like this guy. That is saying a whole heckuva lot if you want to really know. I told him I didn't like my other cardiologist after so many bad side effects from Lisinopril and he doing nothing to change and me ending up in ER...that he said he understood. He then didn't degrade the former cardiologist, nor did he pressure me in any way to get a new one. Giving me a 'good to go' and 'good to do', I'm feeling mighty fine. I pray it continues to be good for me. He also told me to get my cholesterol down...well, I had to explain to him [since he knows the list of medications I'm taking] that I got my cholesterol down WITHOUT any prescription drugs. He was amazed and very pleased!! As I am. Too, I hope I can continue to do so, tho I must confess I ate red meat a couple of times. Which I vowed not to do again. I felt relieved that all was well with my ticker! I feel now that it's not a time bomb waiting to go off...[tho in the back of my head I do know that I'll always be a 'high risk' patient]. If all goes well, I don't need to return for another year. And my Primary Care Physician only wants to see me for picking up my blood work papers if I continue to feel well. That says a lot to me also. I'm happy with the outcome.

...and here she is again!!! I love humor, I love joking, I love laughter. Hope you will too. My thirteen this week comes from a wise ol' lady named Jefé [pronounced HEH fay in Spanish slang - meaning 'boss or chief', being in this case, a "chieftress" but I like Jefé - you guessed it, I really DO have chin whiskers'] These are thirteen[?] tried and true living experiences from the aged one with her keen perception on life-------



1] Noah kept his bees in archives!

2] Part-time bandleaders semi-conductors.

3] Think about it: Pilots take crash-courses; it's called simulation.

4] Speaking of pilots, getting off a non-stop flight would be a challenge.

5] I 've, in all my years, not seen a toad use his stool yet.

6] For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

7] Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.

8] Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life. Trust me.

9] The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

10] A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11] Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

12] After driving in Texas, I'm convinced that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone licensed in this state would be stupid enough to try and pass them.

13] Just seeing if you're paying attention!!! Oh....sorry, my last bit of knowledge is: A man who walks sideways will get to Bangkok!
