~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WELL-HUNG WALLPAPER VIBES FOR DR CILLALIZ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
LOL,thanks TD. Right after I signed off I remembered that Mercy Heart Hospital was putting on a Heart health expo today and I decided to go. It was really interesting. I got a mini carotid artery ultrasound - "it looks beautiful" . Had my blood pressure checked - "it's fabulous" got a free coupon for a cholesterol and glucose check, sat in on a cooking class about the Mediterranean Heart diet. He made salmon sauteed in olive oil and sauteed vegetables - also in olive oil.
I went to the room where they demo an open heart surgery. It's with dummys not humans, but was pretty interesting to actually see how it's done up close. They also had an open question session with a cardiologist that was very interesting and they had other things like listening to your pulse vial ultrasound, a display of pacemakers, a visit to the cardio rehab center (They have a fabulous view while they are riding and walking).
It was really interesting. I got some freebie giveaways and found out my BMI has gone down about 6 points since I started my diet. I was very impressed with the whole day. I've gone to similar things in gyms or whatever, but this one was all in the actual hospital and there were doctors and cardiologists answering questions not just interns or residents. I was also pleased that all the screening I did do came out very positive.
When I came home I hung most of the wall paper in that bathroom. I'm just SO sick of that room and I was hungry, so I took a break. I've considered just leaving the whole mess until tomorrow, but I'm really very close to being done, so I'll go back later and do it. Then I get to clean...oh joy
