Today's Praise!

My dh is going back to work tonight! You may remember, he had a heart attack Memorial Weekend, and he's been off work ever since. Off work means no incidental income because he's not technically f/t, so he doesn't get paid sick time, or benefits. No biggie, except when he has to be off ;-) Anyway, he's doing really well--he's building good exercise habits, and he has a stash of healthy foods ready to take and squirrel away at work instead of eating pizza and junk food all the time.

One other great piece of news. He had a lipid profile drawn last week, and his cholesterol dropped from over 300 when he had the heart attack, to 147 now! That's >50% in 2 months! A bit of the credit can go the medication he's on, but that would only have dropped his level 20%--the rest of the credit goes to his exercising and eating a vegetarian diet. Rock on, hubby :-0
