Yesterday afternoon I had my followup to my heart catheterization.

Looks like Wilbur was right - the doc said that there was NOTHING to report.

When I pressed him about obstructions, he said "a little - nothing to be
concerned about" - so I pressed him harder.

"I had over 50% on the right side (the left being the one with the stents).
How's that look?"
"Lessee - about 30 %."
"Was that from taking my statins all this time?"
"Yup"
"So, by inference, if I keep this up for another few years, there will be
NOTHING?"
"Yes, that's right."

Earlier, the tech who took my vitals and verified what was going on with me
currently had asked if I took my statins at night. I said it was right
before I went to bed.

Good news, as statins work best when you're at rest. I hadn't known, just
did it that way after rinsing my toothbrushing.

So, I celebrated with a bowl of ice cream after dinner :{))

L8R, y'all

Skip, finished with reeving the new lines for the genoa and new running
backstays, about to re-gasket the reefer and frig, and generally ticking off
the minutae remaining to splash...

Wilbur is right more often than not! :-)

YAY!!

My doctor told me last visit that Crestor® (generic - rosuvastatin), in a
recent study, has been determined to be equally as effective taken any time.
I asked because, taken at night as he had previously prescribed, it was
causing me to have a lot of gas and some indigestion effects like a 'sour'
feeling stomach. I now take my statins in the morning with the rest of my meds
and supplements which seems to have negated those adverse side effects
probably because they aren't taken on an empty stomach.

So, I celebrated with a bowl of ice cream after dinner :{))


Double YAY! I think I'll have a beer to celebrate

Skippy -
Get the icecream in while you can. Unless you have a generator (don't
recall seeing one) might be a while before you can get any more.

Not so! Most boats carry a supply of canned whole milk. Canned whole cream is
also available. Provided one also has salt, zip-lock bags and ice one can make
their own ice cream.

Ha! Never knew that. You learn something every day.

Heh. Our freezer can handle it with aplomb (kinda like chocolate drizzle), but between the extra amps (I'd have to lower the temps by a few degrees), and the breathtaking prices outside the US, not to mention it melting before we could get it to the freezer, my ice cream days are numbered.

Not such a bad thing, as I expect that most, if not all, of the 15% weight gain I've had in the last 20 months is a product of that lovely stuff...

Skip, going up the mast today, to run new exterior Cat 5, install a new bracket for the wind instrument, and replace (third one - where DO they go??) the windex due to missing arrow and MAYBE install a couple of steps if the'll come far enough to benefit, under the shrouds, not being enough room over them...

Be careful up there, law of gravity still prevails. :-)

With main halyard on the seat, and the spin halyard around my chest, tied off wherever I get to (2 strands), under my arms, I think I'm safe.

The chair is actually quite comfortable and I'm not the least bit put off by heights, so I have a good time, usually, when I go up.

Today was frustrating, though, for a variety of reasons, all of which combine to require me to go back up tomorrow for about the same thing, absent the drilling and tapping of the mounting holes...

Whatever happened to the mast steps you talked about about a decade or so ago
when you first hauled out?

Mast steps are a dangerous way to go aloft in my opinion unless you
use a safety halyard tailed by someone on deck. Steps also have a way
of fouling halyards and ripping sails.
