What else can go wrong?

Sorry I missed you all today, I spent the day
at the hosp with ultra sounds & test today
& now I have to go back tomorrow & the
next day & the 26th, 2 are dr appts & 1
therapy, today (19th) I found out that my
arteries have plaque on them (568 score)
Which in OTHER words VERY HIGH so
now I have to see a dr for that to get fixed
god knows what that will be, what's next?
I swear if it's not 1 thing it's something else
I don't know what they will have to do to get
that fixed, or what I have to do to get through it.
I have a strong feeling it's not going to be
something I will like just to be honest, I'm
thinking they going to put me on a STRICK
diet, where I'll be eating what I don't like to eat.
I will do what ever it takes to get my health
back in order, that don't mean I have to like it
I'll know more when I go see the Dr in a few hrs.
When I got home from the hosp today I had a
message from the Dr I talked to yesterday &
he left a message that he's going to put me on
a MEAL TIME insuline? HUH? I'm on a fast
acting insuline which IS a meal time insulin.
I'm just wondering if he's talking in a pill
form?? where I can do them instead, being
we talked about that yesterday on the phone.
So I have all THAT to look forward to now
my hubby said today that he wish's I could
get where I was B-4 I crashed to eat what
I wanted, but I told him that's not going to
happen as bad as I would like that myself.
I know it's not easy for him to see me go
through all this, but it's not easy for me as
well, I hate having to go through all this
as much as he does, but there's nothing
I can do but what needs to be done.
I know by the time I got home from the hosp
my back was killing me, I got dressed for bed
& within the hr of us being home I went to bed
just to get rid of the pain I was dealing with
after 4 hrs of sleep, I felt somewhat better.
I gotta make 2 phone calls in the morn (today)
to find out what they are going to do next, so
I see another post coming up within the next
24 hrs or LESS, so you all are caught up.
When I said I need all the help in prayers I
can get I wasn't joking, I appreciate every
single 1 of you for sticking with me on this
I can't thank you all enough, God bless you.

@2ndchances24 You need good heart healthy foods that will cut the cholesterol. The first thing I would do is find all the foods that are high in HDL cholesterol. That's the good cholesterol that cuts through and breaks down all the plaque in your arteries. Eggs are high in HDL, so they are very good for you.

@RebeccasFarm A good nap makes the body
feel better, I can't be stressed & hurten too.
So the best thing I can do is get some sleep
& Hope it helps & most the time it does.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues with plaque on your arteries, but please follow your dr's orders. My husband, who is now 66, had open heart surgery last year bcuz he didn't follow drs orders. Even now, 4 surgeries to open arteries he doesn't pay attn to what the dr said. It's hard bcuz I know if he doesn't stop with all the foolishness I will be burying him.
