Remembrance and a Plea...

[frodobaggins252]

Thirty years ago today, I received the horrible news that my father had died from multiple heart attacks that morning. I miss you so very much, Daddy...how I wish you were here to see your wonderful grandchildren and your beautiful great-granddaughter

It's always good to be reminded about that, thank you. Hopefully my 5-6 walks a day with Pippin are helping us both.

*hugs you*

Yes, health stuff is always very important to take care of. My family have strong hearts, but there are other bad health issues in the family and it's always good to be reminded, as we grow older especially, to get things checked out. And I hope you are checking yourself out, too! With such a family history of heart disease, I'm sure you don't need to be reminded that heart stuff in women can manifest itself in different ways than with men...

I'm sorry about your family, dear. :( *hugs you*

And thank you so much. I will be careful.

I see the cardiologist with a special interest in childhood cancer survivors on Tues 9/3, and I'll definitely discuss with him what needs doing. It's been years since I had a stress test, and given my risk factors it may well be time to do it again (just turned 40, and with the SLE, t2 diabetes, and Hodgkin's treatment history, plus my weight, I know my risk is majorly elevated). In the meantime, working on diet...I'm probably not doing ENOUGH, but I'm doing the best I can. Thank you for the reminder...it's got me making sure I put this on my list of questions. :)
