Cholesterol, Cholesterol, Cholesterol

Well, I heard from the doctor about my CAT Scan. It was a good news / bad news kind of thing. Good news, it's not a kidney stone. But...~sigh~... it's a kidney fat pad. The bad news, it's from having high Cholesterol. The woman said that normally it settles in the abdomen or liver. Liver is less likely but still more likely then the kidney....well, mine liked the kidney, so Cholesterol is depositing itself on my kidney. Now I have to go back and have the CAT Scan again in three months. I am currently on a strict diet and taking medication to get it under control.

I am personally horrified about the "Proper" portion size for meat. That is my BIGGEST adjustment. It has been about 2-2 1/2 weeks since I have had Beef. I think soon I will have night mares of that old commerical...WHERE'S THE BEEF?!

Ohhhh, the days of a nice JUICY, HUGE PIECE of Prime Rib for dinner - so big that it's the only thing I eat.....
