I did it mostly for the piece of mind, but also to have as a baseline to reference against when I get scanned again in the future. Everyone younger than 45 with a non-zero score is at risk and should talk to their doc about going on a statin or try harder to be less fat. That you includes you too, Buckeye Manboobs. I can't. I'm going next month for another follow up for breast, and I can only do one thing at a time. If I go and fail the calcium score test, then I get yet another Doc --and my goal here is to stop seeing one before adding another. Must get released soon from surgeon. That's the goal! My lung screenings already say I have calcifications of the coronary arteries, and I have a degenerating spine. Part of me wants to know, and the other part of me just wants to drop dead, just like my Dad. My last lipids were 2019. Total 183. Triglycerides 242 Hdl 59 Ratio 3.1. LDL 76 and VLDL is out of whack @ 48. Been on 10mg Crestor since 2017.

So if you're already getting a high dose from other diagnostic scans, it's probably better to wait a year or two to mitigate annual exposure.

Also, what if I were to get called for a vaccine before my next test? I might just go to the back of the line. I've read where you should wait 30 days.

I haven't been to a doctor in years (1998), I will probably just drop dead one day

March 16, 20214 yr Vaccines are trash: Quote A new variant of COVID-19 has been detected in an Eastern Kentucky nursing home. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated residents have contracted the variant, Kentucky Public Health Commissioner Steven Stack said, but only one vaccinated resident has become sick enough to be hospitalized, compared to four unvaccinated residents. https://www.kentucky.com/news/coronavirus/article249982314.html

After I graduated from my MBA program, we did an Airbnb in Bermuda, that was awesome. That’s one of the few places where we did the "we need to go back there” when we got home but we really really mean it. Had an amazing time there.

March 16, 20214 yr So dangerous, 16 MILLION people didn't even know they had it... Our news station is being alarmists about JUST HOW WIDE SPREAD IT WAS... instead of focusing on the fact that people didn't even know they had it...
March 17, 20214 yr So, apparently Trump was just on FOX News, and after admitting he got the vaccine in private back in January went on to say, "yes, the American people should get the vaccine". I s*** you not.

Could drop them there and go see a comedy show/performance sneak back to the room for some alone time. So at least we could get a little adult time. The kids club was a godsend. The kids loved it and we loved it. We sent them there even when we were in St. Thomas so we could go shopping. We did that in the morning and then came back, ate on the ship and brought them to the beach in the PM. I could do that again.
