I have learned to be happy with who you are and laugh and make fun of yourself...
All I need is a mirror - and then I can laugh all the way to stress incontinence -
Mirrors are scary these days!
Oddly, my reflection does not show in mirrors.

I take a couple of the same medicines and others that are likely very similar to the others. For instance I take Lisinopril which I'm guessing is very much like Ramipril. I also take what they call baby Aspirin or Low Dose Aspirin which is probably the same as Dispersible Aspirin and for survivors of heart surgery like us that's basically just a low level blood thinner. I also take Torosemide which is the same thing basically as Furosemide which basically is to prevent fluid build up since your heart is probably not as efficient about pumping fluids out of your system as it was before all the surgery, be prepared to pee more then you're used to. I also take Ezetimibe which is a fairly effective Cholesterol medicine. As for the others I don't take those particular medicines but I probably take something similar. Other then the increased peeing from the Furosemide I can't think of any ngative side effects from the other medicines. I would say everythng you listed is oretty much the standar course of treatment after open heart surgery basically designed to make life easier on your heart. The best things you can do after major heart surgery, which you're already doing is to keep active and to watch you diet.
Oh and on the cholesteral medicine, it's not so much about lowering your cholesteral as it is about giving you the right ratio of good cholesteral to bad cholesteral. It's possible to have a good overall cholesteral number (below 200) but it can still be bad if the ratio of LDL (Bad) to HDL (Good) is out of balance.

I notice I have been posting up a storm. Not only that, but I have taken breaks to feed the wildies, cleaned out a buncha snow crabs to make crab salad, macheted some poisy idy, and watered the outdoor flowers.
Even with those breaks, I see I have been posting like mad without realizing it. I do have a reason:
I have been up since the usual time (3-4AM), but have not had a single toke since yesterday -- I wanted to set a baseline to see what my background pain level is without weed.
I now know: Fookin' HIGH is what the level is. I never truly measured how much relief I get because of weed.
Two Tylenol after breakfast, two just now at lunch, and Herself slathered my back and neck with Diclofenac (AKA: Voltarin) just now. It helps a lot. But on a "how much is a lot" scale, I have gone from a 9 (broken leg) to a 6 (two broken fingles).
Weed takes me down to a 1 or 2. Not today, though. I am going to go a day without -- just for an honest baseline.

I agree ,but I wouldnt mind hair.I'm just happy to be me - don't need no other skin colours - don't need to look like nor be another sex - don't need to be able to breast feed - or gestate and have a baby - don't need hair even - why complicate life - when simplicity beats anxiety - every time? -
We are encouraged to feel sorry for those that say they can't feel comfortable with what they were born with - within their own skins -- that's just sad -
- after all you get what you are given - and for a peaceful and tranquil life - its best to be satisfied with that - or you will just torment yourself and eventually go insane -
Just found out I am a stage 3 for cataracts
got new glasses and can see for a country mile, maybe less.
Interesting: Scooter told me that high levels of pain can cause folks' bods to react differently. Most folks get high BP when in pain.
He said some get really low diastolic readings. Like me.
Tooken my BP about four hours ago: 127/43 <-- EEK
That is why my redwitch called Scooter and got him outa bed (he's in Oregon).
Just tooken it again with reduced pain becuz of the Diclofenac slathering and 4 Tylenol (2+2) later: 125/60 <-- YAY!
That is in the range I have while stoned.
Where the hell is Brother @Boo: I need to thank him again.

Im getting cataract surgery next month. Both eyes. It does feel like an old thing tho
They do one at a time (becuz yer eye gets bandaged, and a cotton bandage is a bitch to see through to drive). You are gonna love the result. Painless, BTW.
Maybe not....but i thought I was 10 feet tall and bulletproof!He was never 5’7
TOTALLY USELESS UNCA TRIVIA:
The time was right. A looong time ago, I saw a Sooper Bad Guy in a Bob Hope comedy movie that did it to casually scare the crap out of Hope. Way back in the Olden Days. So I began doing it.
I had a bud named Starkey. Huge snow-blond giant that loved me. He made me look tiny. He had muscles in places I din' even have places. He had muscles in his shit.
He opened beer bottles with his teeth. That... I never even tried, and never will.
