Was disappointed to hear from the doctor that my stress test was inconclusive. One part indicated a reduced blood flow, the other a healthy flow. What we decided was to continue my regime of Crestor, exercise, and weight loss, then have another blood test in July. For those who can interpret such things, my overall cholesterol is 225, LDL (bad) 150, HDL (good) 49, and triglycerides 129.
As of yesterday, the forest fire near here has burned more than 14,000 acres. It had been about 6 miles away from us when I went to bed; we got calls and messages from nice people asking if we were okay. A long stretch of the Parkway was closed, as well as part of 539, which leads to Alison. I talked to her and we're hoping the road will be open by tomorrow night when she comes down to Dad-sit.
Went to the SB Players dress rehearsal, since I won't be here for the shows this weekend. I comprised the entire audience and greatly enjoyed it. I was touched by the welcome of the players and their saying they missed me, and so on.
But I'm still glad I dropped out.
My nephew, Tim, sent an e-mail with YTube of his son, Cal's, award-winning film, "Diggers." Cal's in high school and the film is really pretty good. He acts in it, too, putting on a British accent--and I think he was as good or better as what you see on T.V.
Weight Watchers this morning! I'll pick up Leslie and Jo (Mary called to say she couldn't go) and we'll see how it goes. Whether I lost, didn't, or gained (aagh!), I'm sticking to it. There was a book--or something--called The Heart Has Its Reasons and that's why I'm determined to lose weight.
Later, after my walk: The paper says the fire has now been contained, but they believe 18,000 acres were burned. A number of homes were lost and the people in them were scattered. The big-hearted USAF is saying it will compensate if their flare caused the damage. Nice of them.
