I am drinking hazelnut coffee and educating myself about vascular surgery as much as I am able to via the internet. It is interesting to get a little glimpse into what may be lying ahead for me. I am trying not to worry so much about upcoming surgery by better educating myself prior to my visit with the vascular surgeon. It has eased my mind to know a little bit about what vascular surgery is and the different ways it can be carried out.
I am also learning about heart-healthy lifestyles and the many risks that I need to address in order to stave off future problems, such as controlling high cholesterol, eating low-fat foods, exercising, maintaining a proper weight, controlling diabetes, and high blood pressure, etc.
