My friend, Mary Stanke, called me this morning. She said she was missing the blog, so I thought I’d catch up. Can’t believe I’ve been home for nearly three weeks already. I seem to have a never-ending to-do list: doctors’ appointments, hair, massage, walks with friends, Trivia, preparing Myra’s to-do list – which makes mine shorter!
One of those things was to learn how to properly use iNotes. For some reason, I was having a hard time with that. But I’ve got it now and love it. I’ve also done some fine-tuning on learning my Mac. I’ll never go back to a laptop. Now I feel that my iPhone (which I just replaced because of the broken camera) are now synchronized. No more having to remember passwords. Fingers crossed that I’m doing it right.
Our yard is waking up:
Lovely walks with Kathy and Mary on the Glacial Drumlin Trail and in Lapham Peak.
Kathy asked me if I had garlic for breakfast after this photo was taken.
I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to understand “the heart attack gene.” Information in general regarding cholesterol levels has changed dramatically – and quickly – so much so that my primary physician didn’t know what I was talking about when I mentioned ApoB. ProHealth hasn’t added it yet to its basic cholesterol labs.
I have the coronary angiogram on 4/27. So that will be it work workup. We’ll see what Dr. Dall, the lipidologist (cholesterol specialist) recommends. I was pleasantly surprised to see Dr. Dall credited at the end of one of the podcasts by Dr. Peter Attia. He said Dr. Dall was one of his main sources of information. So, looks like I’m in good hands.
Dan has been helping me with the book. He suggested a preface. I was a little nervous when he suggested writing this. I put off reading it for a while because I was worried I would be “losing me” in his writing. His perspective on the Camino is a bit different than mine. However, after I read it today, I was very pleasantly surprised. It did, in fact, sound like me, just more succinct and organized, summarizing the book. So, we’ll see where we go from here. I’m hoping to have it finished and ready for the editor before the end of summer.
And now I’m back in my own lovely little bed looking out at the pink-tinted sky.
And yesterday a fun wedding shower for Mia Guido. One of the best showers I’ve ever attended.
And today is Greek Easter, so we will be celebrating at Tim and Ana’s.
Miss you Chris! Glad all is well and rich with pondering!!
