Hi Lil, Thanks for this article. I kind of knew that already but I suppose I was in denial about it. H will be 40 in September. The lack of morning wood is not all that recent maybe two or three years. I initially did take it personally a little when his E would fade but I don't really anymore. It is so obvious that his lifestyle would lead to this kind of thing.
What I should do is print it off and give it to H. I'm not sure if I will. If I mention anything like this to him he tends to get annoyed with me as if I am pointing things like this out to him to deliberately hurt him
Well no, I will, heart disease is a serious business we have young kids, he can't just go on forever with his head in the sand. He almost certainly has some underlying heart disease I can't imagine he would not. Here's the list
Smokes heavily Drinks heavily Never exercises, sendentary job Eats high fat and high carb diet, shuns veggies never eats fruit Stresses out over everything, workaholic Family history of heart disease
Whenever I have tried to nudge him in the direction of adopting a more healthy lifestyle he just acts like I am saying these things in a bid to depress him or annoy him or act holier than thou. I might just have to make an appointment and drag him to the doctor's.
I have to admit to a somewhat fatalistic attitude to all this. It's like when a kid persists in doing something that you know is going to lead to their downfall and they take no notice of your warnings and in the end you just think "OK go ahead an learn the hard way"
Lil any ideas on how best to approach a 4 with this kind of issue?
Fran
