I went to Mount Alvernia Hospital to consult my classmate and she is now officially my cardiologist. I was hoping not to take any medications but she insisted. With my wife who accomplished me to the doctor, I was naturally outnumbered. I basically have to take the medication for preventive measures. My LAD has a high calcium score at less than 50%(zero is best, 50% should plagues occluding the artery). Clearly my arteries are still patent but they are not in good shape. It is also better to prevent than to put in a stent. Once I have stent, I will need more medication according to my classmate. So it is better to prevent my heart from getting worse with medication.
She has a daughter who just finished first year in Melbourne University. Her son is in J2 and wants to be a vet. Her daughter studied in RI. My classmates' kids are all doing well in school.
For now, I will get my cholesterol down and eat more fruits and less meats.
