Saw my cardiologist yesterday. I'm doing OK but need to do better to get my bad cholesterol count lower. I've reduced my smoking but have to redouble my efforts to free myself from the evil weed. I'll get there. 50 year habit isn't the easiest thing to break. If I don't quit I can expect to cut my remaining life even shorter and increase heart attack and stroke risk. So there is some motivation there for me.
