As it nears two o'clock, let me go sign off so I can take a shower and prepare to go to the gym. Oh, the phone rang. It was Dr. Krall: my cholesterol, sugar, kidney, liver and thyroid are fine. The HDL cholesterol has improved but isn't at an optimal level yet. My c-reactive protein has gotten better, yet also isn't where it should be. The prescription? "Continue to exercise."
That sounds heartless. When is good enough ever good enough? For some reason, I could possibly always be at risk for heart disease, as are a lot of people who have schizophrenia. What choice do I have except to press on? Today I will break a sweat.
