That's great news HW! Don't worry too much about your BP , quite often it's elevated when checked cause you're worrying about what its gonna be!
My BP's always been fine, around 110/60 ish however my heart rate is always very fast at around 100 bpm, I used to smoke so put it down to that but I gave up 10 years ago and its still fast and as I'm fairly fit and healthy in every other way, I've come to the conclusion that it is just "normal for me".
Apples and garlic are good for lowering the cholesterol.

Funnily enough, he said the same thing about the BP. The reading I had last week was 158/110 - but that was taken straight after she'd stuck a ruddy great needle in my arm!

I eat plenty of garlic, could eat more apples. Maybe there's something in the "apple a day" thing then...

My biggest failing is not doing enough CV work. I haven't been to the gym in months. Lady HW and I are going to get a cross trainer after Christmas so there'll be no excuse for getting a good half hour/ hour exercise in every day.

Thanks, by the way!

Good luck zeb. I didn't think it'd bother me, but you know how the mind starts...

Sure you'll be fine!

Dad's fine thanks Hazel, last time I saw him (Friday lunchtime) he was cleaning the glasses in the glass cabinet to keep himself occupied. He's still an ex-smoker and it's not really bothering him. One thing that is bothering him, is having to turn work away (he's a mechanic by trade), but he realises he can't really do the "lugging about" that he did before - at least not yet a while.

Mums cooking.... Now that's a different story. I don't think it'll ever change, but Dad went to see a dietician last week (which he was a bit sceptical about), so I tried to encourage him and tell him to do little changes, bit by bit and he'd soon not even notice.

It does make me laugh when we (lady HW and I) cook dinner for them (Ma & Pa), we'll say that we're cooking something and Mum will say something along the lines of "oh, your Dad won't like that!", we serve it up and low and behold, Dad devoures the lot!!

He's on the road to recovery though, that's the main thing.
