robynsnest: Sorry to hear about your DH. I guess I really have to count my blessings regarding my own health. I'm so fortunate not to have more problems than I do, (knock on wood!), considering how I've lived my life up to now, (not caring what I ate, smoking for 44 years...).

There are still things I don't know. In another couple of weeks or so I'm going to have another blood test and make this one more comprehensive than the last one. I also plan on getting a coronary calcium score asap as a local hospital should start offering them soon. The plan is already in the works.

So far as I know, the diabetes and my weight are my only major problems now that I've quit smoking.
