Good morning!!!!

Tobacco free, 85 hours and counting ...

Last night was pretty ugly pain-wise ... was probably up a half a dozen times ... couldn't get to sleep for more than a couple hours at a time.

That I slept a lot yesterday could have had something to do with it I suppose.

Lots of updates on the fish front.

Hope to get down to the fish room here in a bit and get some work done down there ... if I can overcome the OxyContin stupor ...

Good afternoon all. Happy mother's day.
Wish i had planted potatoes yesterday.
Storms rolled in last night, rained all night. On and off rain today, overcast and cool at 60°.
After worship, took family out for mothers day, to Dobbin house in Gettysburg. Another tough prime rib, not their usual.

The longer you go, the better it gets, so wishing you the best. After smoking for more than 50 years, I quit on 7/11/2006, and my wife who had been smoking almost 50 years quit on 6/25/2007.

I do like fruits and vegetables ... so it isn't really that much of a stretch from that aspect.

This short Dr. Greger research U-tube came out this morning on the benefits of Kale and Red cabbage reducing oxidized LDL in your blood (the bad stuff)
I like Dr. Greger not only because I have met him in person several times but also because all his advice is backed by research, he is selling nothing, and he's funny.

NOTICE: at 23 seconds stop the video and read that page. It does not really work that good with smokers.
The Benefits of Kale and Cabbage for Cholesterol | NutritionFacts.org

I'm going to try it for 2 weeks (300g Red cabbage and kale a day) and then get a blood test to see where my LDL is at. I know everyone is different but I just care what it does to my blood cholesterol. I have been off all meds for three months and my Cardiologist say as long as the LDL is below 100 I can stay off statins. the first blood test after 3 weeks and my LDL was 95 and that is too close for comfort for me, like you said the best is to be close to 70, since we have a history. I'm giving my body a total of 3 months to adjust to the absence of statins but if I can't get lower, to at least the low 80s, I will put myself back on statins.

Because I don't consume any cholesterol the the LDL blood test is a constant but If I did eat cholesterol it would be up after each meal. I think that's why the Dr. allowed the just below 100 for me. I'll report back on this in several weeks.

Yeah! You are almost at 90 hr now.

Watch out for the depression coming off the Oxy. My mom cratered after she got off it after her hip surgery. She was on it for 3 months waiting for the surgery to fix her disconnected hip.
