Life style changes
Finally convinced Hubby to go and have his cholesterol levels rechecked. It's only taken 6 months, and this time I made sure that he did starve from midnight, last time he didn't, and when questioned by the phlebotomist he lied and said he had. Anyway, the day after the latest test Docs phoned and said they needed to see him, guessed that things may not be too good. How right we were, 8.7. Bad result, especially given that his Dad died at 64 following a coronary bypass for coronary heart disease. Hubby came back from the surgery clutching a prescription for Statins and Nicorette patches. Off I went to the supermarket and bought an entire new larder of 'healthy' foodstuffs. This was Thursday, and until Sunday Hubby was in denial, then the family descended for the Birthday meal, and started nagging. Monday came, off I went to work, and when I returned I realised that no ciggies had been smoked, the butter was untouched, the fruit bowl was virtually empty, and Hubby was Mr Depressed. Today he has been happier, he is talking about joining a Gym, starting evening classes and declaring that 'Flora isn't that bad'. Who is this man? Certainly not the man I married.
