Hello (again) ....not sure what to do next

double ablation
Here there is an automatic 24 hours in
intensive
care
plus one day of observation after the operation. Any idea on recovery time? The center I am going to has a success rate of 90% for flutter and 70% for PAF but I am a little nervous about doing both in one go.

HI, DI has been a lifeline for me through the past 6 months when my daughter Aisha 37, was diagnosed with both breast cancer and D2. We have followed the LCHF diet with excellent results: her weight has gone down from 130 kgs. to 103 kgs. We will be doing a HB1AC test in 2 days time to see how much it

From Major brain surgery to Internet Entrepreneur
This was surreal, it had only been 8 hour since major brain surgery, and I called her from my bed in
intensive
care
. The week I was in
intensive
care
is a blur I don’t remember anything about it I was heavily sedated. Drifting in and out of sleep but I knew that she was with me all the time.

The right diet for T2 Diabetes with elevated blood cholesterol
I have lived with T2 for five years (genetic caused) which I usually control the conditions with low carb diet with good fat ( extra virgin olive oil, a bit of coconut oil) and full cream diary products. I also eat proteins from both animals and plants especially my favorite dhal. I excercise most days

Do you know about palliative care?
I have read some things about palliative care and think it could help my sister who has PSP. Have any of you used palliative care for your loved one with PSP? And, if so, what would you say about it? As I understand it, it is a fairly new medical approach in that palliative care focuses on relieving
