Mine on the other hand is stellar. Adam takes lipitor and it works really well for him. in the beginning I thought- "lipitor is only for old men who are headed for a heart attack", but then I accepted the fact that if it helps him stay healthy and prolongs his life, why not celebrate the miracle of modern science and praise God for lipitor. Sounds funny, but God is in control. He knows the number of our days. Now that we have this cholesterol information we have the choice to do our best to keep it in check. And thats all we can do. Pray for david and his heart. Pray that God will lift the burden from your mind. He loves you and he will take care of you both if you give this over to Him and cease the thinking that you can save David on your own with Walnuts and Salmon. Prayers for you right now.<br />Jenny HoffmanJenny H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-35948845033806503772010-05-02T18:24:23.092-04:002010-05-02T18:24:23.092-04:00i am in the same boat as you with my husband, and ...i am in the same boat as you with my husband, and it has been very difficult to deal with. my husband also does not eat nuts, or any other "heart healthy" foods, and it has been a struggle. <br /><br />As for the fish, I recommend getting a large fillet of salmon and portioning it out in single serving sizes to freeze.... you can have the hubs do this for you if it grosses you out too much. When preparing a fish dish for one person, freezing makes it super simple. I take a frozen salmon piece and put a little fat free plain yogurt on top, then I sprinkle with pepper and dot with capers. I bake it in the toaster oven at 350* for about 15 mins and it turns out perfectly. After cooking I serve with a lemon wedge, brown rice, and wilted spinach. If your husband is not into the yogurt & caper idea, you could try anything that tickles his fancy.... salmon takes well to almost anything!<br /><br />Good luck and I pray things will work out well for your husband!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-48661023897256236932010-05-01T18:01:44.128-04:002010-05-01T18:01:44.128-04:00i'm sorry to hear that. i would feel the same ...i'm sorry to hear that. i would feel the same way. my mom has high cholestrol, and even though she drastically changed her diet, it wouldn't go down. Now she takes a pill for it everyday, and that keeps it in check, seemed to be the only thing that would work.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00418611859712611024noreply@blogger.com
