I'm gonna be fine. I'm on a regulator, a beta blocker and an ACE inhibitor daily, which is a pain in the tail, but am reacting well to the meds, have been on them since the Summer Solstice. I'm diagnosed with atrial 'flutter,' as I said in the last post, but have lots of company: one in three men my age have it and they expect that number to go up, given the aging of the country. I must keep exercising; something I would have done anyway.
The good news: I can have up to 4000mg of salt/day (about the amount in a whole bag of chips). The cardiologist said that the average Bama Boy takes in about 8000/day; Sodium Nazis want it down to 2300. Phooey on that . . . Here's a man worth his salt, by golly.

Had a great time in Cali with Lib, Meg, Lee, and the Boys (7 and 5). Lib wangled us a great hotel room (great breakfasts) at about a 50% discount. Was especially great to see Meg again after two years; too damn long--won't do that again.

Two things I could never give up: salt and caffeine.
I have given up caffeine. I'm glad I had about 52 double espressos during my two weeks in Spain; they have to last the rest of my life.
