lizzybuffy200823. Is there something that you're interested in that most people aren't?
I am interested in cooking, baking, and exercise. They are not oddball things, but I know very few people that like or do any of them.
24. What was cool when you were young, but really isn't cool now?
Even though they knew it was bad for you; smoking. Cool kids smoked. People still do it now, but it tends to be frowned upon.
I have hinted about the stress of the last couple of months and it hit a peak yesterday. My husband is in incredible shape, eats well, and like me, likes exercising. So around Christmas when he said he was feeling anxious and like something was not right with him, we took it seriously. At his physical in January, he told his doctor how he had been feeling and that it was happening right then. They did an EKG and said his heart rhythm was off (early beat) and ordered a stress test. Stress test happened a week later, he blew away the cardiovascular ability, but they detected reduced blood flow to the lower left side. Saw a cardiologist last week, that recommended a cardiac catheritization to check (his father had a heart attack at 49; which we always thought was due to having juvenile diabetes.) He went in yesterday morning. They found an 80% block in his LAD artery, put in a stent, and he was able to come home in the afternoon. He will have to be on medication (due to the stent) for at least a year, but thanks to him knowing his body, he prevented a heart attack, which very likely would have killed him. We are still a bit stressed, but hope that we are on the other side of this.
Hug your people, pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you (particularly if you have family history.) The LAD is the same artery that was blocked for both my father in-law and my husband's uncle when they had heart attacks. Even though he has a very different lifestyle to either of them, it appears you can only do so much to fights genetics.
