So, I found out something new about myself today....


I can trick myself into believing that ANY Mexican food is low sodium.


Yep...had some Mexican food tonight & pretended that what I had was low sodium. I had something called Chicken Pelusa. It was basically a fajita with rice instead of a tortilla.


It didn't have any pico de gallo, it didn't have any spicy sauce, and I had the cheese sauce on the side. It MUST have been low in sodium, right? Well, that is what I am gonna tell myself anyway.


I can tell you ONE thing about it......


......it was GOOOO-OOOOD!


I missed that tanginess that Mexican food can have.


Of course I am going to pay for this for the rest of the night and some of tomorrow, at least.
I won't pay in the way that most people pay with spicy food....I'll pay by THINKING.


I'll spend tonight and tomorrow noticing every twinge, feeling EVERY little bit of indigestion from the food.


I'll think about what might happen if I have too much salt & fat & carbohydrates.
I'll think about what it will feel like to be back in the hospital.


I'll THINK about everything that could go wrong because I had too much salt & fat tonight.


I think I better be a good boy tomorrow.


Basically what I am telling you tonight is that we are still not over this whole heart attack thing. It is still foremost in my mind with everything I do. It still hangs out there & is the topic of conversation with most folks. It is still "just there".


I guess we still have to recovery ahead of us huh?
I hope you'll join me for the rest of it.


Good night & God bless.
