Well at 58 and what I thought was reasonable shape to have had a Heart Attack, although mild, required stent emplacement and a 3 Day stay in the hospital has sort of turned my little world all around.
Well here I am...as so many people have been before. I was diagnosed a few years ago with Type 2 diabetes and the only time I have taken my diagnosis seriously was when I became pregnant, for the safety of my son. As a mommy it is easy to disregard any health issues I have for my children.

I’ve just been diagnosed with hepatitis C. What’s the prognosis for this?
I need to heal. Not only physically, but, mentally as well. and spiritually. Then and only then will I come to grips with total healing. I must first learn to love myself and to respect myself and come to grips with what is wrong with me.
Everything, everything is always wrong. Sometimes somedays are better than others, instead of the constant sharp pain in my breast and rib, my body might decide to give me a break and let me have a migraine for a few hours.
Well, since it is Monday, I have started my Hospital suggested and approved exercise program, walk 15 minutes, do a group of exercises designed to not overtax a heart patient.
The good news today is that early detection of cancer is saving more and more lives. The majority of cancers found in the earliest stages can be treated and patients never face a recurrence. Unfortunately, early detection is also causing problems.
I'm feeling good with all the food changes I like the fact that I don't feel deprived from eating other foods. I’m learning that this life style change is about making the right choices when eating at or eating out.

I have been undergoing my own self-directed intensive therapy, which has essentially been an attempt to give myself hope for the future via focusing on and publicizing the Singularity.
Don't know why for the past few days I've had a headache, at first i thought i was dehydrated, I drank lots of water but that didn't' help. I took Advil twice and that still didn't help. I'm starting to wonder if the reason for the headaches are due to the change in my diet.
Well, Its been a couple days and I have pretty much forgotten the exact details of what I have eaten. I know the bad thing that I have eaten, It is true....you do really think about things twice when you write it down. On Tuesday I had a naughty moment.
