    AA> You spasm when standing on a scale for a few seconds? Man,   
    AA> that's weird.   
      
     If it's real low, like the one in the bathroom, and I have the walls   
   to place my hands on, it'll keep me steady. But, the ones in the medical   
   clinic, where I have to step up on them, and have nothing to hold on to,   
   that gets dangerous...and I'm a Fall Risk. As a side note, I like the meme   
   that notes the scales in the medical clinic, and it says "These things   
   offend me!! They need to be removed!!".    
      
    AA> Just having some boiled eggs in the fridge can come in handy   
    AA> from time to time.  And.. you don't have to throw them out when   
    AA> the electricity goes out or a day or two.  You DO know how to   
    AA> boil water, don't you?   
      
     I can burn water.  Yet, I haven't used the stove here...let alone   
   turned on any of the TV sets, in the last 4 years...since I put my Mom   
   in a nursing home before her death.   
      
    AA> There are numerous FRESH foods you can prepare sitting at the   
    AA> kitchen table and that do not need serious cooking.   
      
    AA> Pork chops and skinless chicken come out quite well in the   
    AA> microwave.  A baked potato comes out perfect in the microwave.   
      
     The harder part is finding food low in sodium...but with only given   
   a paltry amount of money on disability each month, and the price of   
   groceries are through the roof (the price of low sodium foods are on   
   the moon), I can't afford it. It's likely I have to cut my diet to   
   only 1 meal a day, with a very small quanitity of food, just to take   
   my medicine...then eat nothing else the rest of the day. That's not   
   very nutritious, though.   
      
     Plus, I'm looking at cardiac ablation surgery in early June...while   
   that will possibly get rid of the atrial fibrillation, but I may still   
   have to deal with congestive heart failure. I can deal with being on   
   Lasix once a day...I just do my errands early in the day (I have to be   
   up before the buttcrack of dawn to do my vital signs), and take it when   
   I get home.
