I had a disastrous accident

While we are asking personal health questions, are you on blood pressure medicine, Paul?

Yes.

I'm also on blood thinners, thyroid medication and others.

The thing is, these things came on fast; through as late as a couple of years ago I had never had any blood pressure problems. Of course I didn't have congestive heart failure either.

Here's a list of my prescriptions. [and what I know it's for]

Metformin Hydrochloride 500MG 2x daily [diabetes]
Eliquis 5 MG 2x daily
Carvedilol 25MG 2x daily
Losartan Potassium 25MG
Furosemide 20MG
Levothyroxine 125MG 2x once daily [thyroid]
Pantoprazole DR 40MG 2x daily
Digoxin 250MCG [heart]

Plus
Vitamin D3 800 IU w/Calcium 600 MG

So as it stands I don't know what half this stuff does except I feel better than I did when I had (undiagnosed) congestive heart failure so I take them. And I also cut back severely on anything needing salt. I've eliminated pizzas, have had one order of fries in six months, same for snack chips, and the only significant things are small amounts of salted butter I use and a few ounces of salted cashews a week.

Jesus Mary, Mother of God! You're eating healthier than I am!

Seriously though, I look forward to Paul's new healthy cooking videos.

In case you forgot, I'm in a wheelchair. I am not in a position to pick up a pizza unless I want to reheat the cold pizza once I get home. Besides, for pick-up pizza, or, in my case, eat-in pizza, Jerry's Subs and Pizza, a regional chain and franchise headquartered in Gaithersburg MD, has much better pizza and is easier to get to. Their New York style is utterrly fantastic.
