Kara D.
I am 45 years old, married to the love of my life and I am ready to get physically healthier. I am bipolar II so I deal with chronic depression and the more rare mania. My family history has heart disease, high cholesterol and triglycerides, high bp and diabetes. I am getting myself healthy before any of those diseases become life threatening. I have the elevated bp and cholesterol and I want to reverse those before it is too late.
I am excited about this journey, and scared and anxious and having trouble being patient for my next doctor appointment in January. I live 3 hours from my surgery site and doctors so I have 4 appointments schedules for one day. Any advice, encouragement, words of wisdom or things not to do are very welcome. I look forward to making friends and helping others as they help me to reach our goals.
