I hope your cardiologist went over these numbers with you. Here's my 2 cents:

LM = 0. This is EXCELLENT! The left main is called the "widow maker" as it supplies 85% of the heart.

LAD = 298. This is considered moderately calcified and can be concerning. The LAD comes off the LM, runs down the front of the heart, and supplies about 50% of the heart.

Cx = 163. This is considered moderately calcified and can be concerning. The Cx comes off the LM, wraps around the left side, and supplies 25-40% of the heart. It can also supply the sinus node, also called the pacemaker of the heart, in about 30% of the population.

RCA = 59. this is considered mildly calcified. The RCA supplies most of the right side of the heart and the sinus node in up to 70% of the population.

PDA = 0. This is EXCELLENT! The PDA supplies most of the back side of the heart, along with the Cx.

I would say you have a moderate risk of a cardiac event within the next 3-5 years if there are no changes made in your lifestyle. The LAD and Cx combined can supply up to 85% of the heart's blood.

ACV has not been shown in clinical trials to reduce or eliminate calcification. Your best holistic bet is to eat clean, try to stay away from trans fats and highly processed foods. Drink 8-10 glasses of water in addition to other beverages, like coffee. Reduce your stress levels.

Exercise, outdoors, as much as possible. The sun helps our bodies make vitamin D, which can be heart helpful. DO NOT take vitamin D supplements without consulting with your providers. It is a fat soluable vitamin; you could be at risk of overdose if not managed.

Continue to f/u with your cardiologist. S/he may recommend a heart cath. Stents placed in the LAD and Cx can keep those vessels open. A heart cath has a much quicker recovery time, about one day, compared to open heart surgery (weeks).

This is the long-ish answer! I can go into more detail if you need it!

Wow! amazing!!!

Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out’?

What do people in China call their good plates?

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?

If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

I have one from my project. I've seen them used to hold planters for herbs. I plan to use it for that. Maybe.

Mrs wonderer made had me put a few pallets up at one of our customers storefronts.

I thought it was a hare brained idea, and did not love it, but she gets raves all the time when she plants droopy plants in them.

You said "down under!"

Too bad you didn't have an old tank you could use to run over them!

My tank fantasies were to drive over a car or thru a building.

Came this close in Iraq to driving over a car. Dammit!

What a great little community we have.

IKR? I woke up all crabby and catching up on these posts have cheered me up and measurably!

Hans Rudel said the Soviets would drive their tanks into the ends of houses and try to hide from him.


As long as he could see their asses, they were toast.

 

[Wonderer67]

Allright. I’m caught up for about 2 milliseconds.

Off to the oriface. Another day chock full a meetings.

Who’s doing the dishes?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Wat's gotta head over to herd weasels.

My wife has complained about this for years. She’s an outdoor worker and even women jeans and women’s Carharts have smaller pockets.

Then this topic came up with my daughter last night over dinner! WTH? My daughter described it as a women’s pants designer conspiracy.

And big purse! (She’s got a good sense of humor!)

Someone PLEASE make women’s pants w larger pockets!

Or wear men's and cuss the quarters falling out

Last couple loads* of vacation laundry before bed.

Nowhere even close to caught up on the thread - hope all had a decent time while I was galivanting across the East Coast.


Best Storytime of my day - thanks, @Wat_Tyler

Good thing I like mine since I'm single and living within my means (i.e. no cook on staff - heck, no staff )

She sounds like a hoot. I'd love to have high tea with her or at least within earshot of her stories.


Oh good. I need some time to think about joining another club.

Helps you get your steps in for the day?!?

See?

Well - time to change the laundry around and think about bedtime.
Sweet Dreams all...

Morning everyone!View attachment 2511999

And going to the park this afternoon for a walk.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

It really is different. I was surprised by how much I’d like it.

It sounds like one of those newfangled coffee things, but it’s much more smooth and much less bitter.

Bitter is also a product of how fine is the grind. For French Press, a coarse grind is the best. And less bitter!

Is it just me, or if you’re driving a gigantic farm tractor going 20 miles an hour, would you pull over occasionally to let the 30 or so cars behind you by?

I guess it’s just me and the 30 or so other people behind the tractor!

If you go slow then they can pass on country roads. If you are moving then it can be harder to pass.

Don't try on a curve and I don't think you will make it anyway. Just sayin!

The one at the brewery I was at last night sure isn't ....but I mean if you have like 2-3 quarters maybe?
