Ouch, got lucky with my wife, even after her last heart surgery her cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure were all good before and after. Congenital problem rather than lifestyle.

I do feel better laying off sugar and carbs. Lead a pretty active lifestyle. Just part of getting old. Feel really blessed when you see and hear of others thats got serious trouble. hope your wife gets along good. Got a brother-in-law in Nappanee, not far from you I guess. Hear they got some pretty good corn fed deer in the area.

I have some customers /  friends who I guess want to help keep me around a few more years, they supply me with real Maple Syrup as a sweetener for my coffee, I'm also borderline diabetic and my doctor says that it is a great alternative, it took a little getting used to but now I promote it to all my local stores instead of that silly college educated crap flavoring.
Perhaps those of you guys on here that make a living from Maple Syrup should start a campaign with your stores to add it as well.

For the past 2 years I've off my high blood pressure meds mainly due to a no sodium diet and exercise plus I'm board-line diabetic.  With assistance from my doc and health coach (both free through my employer) I am no longer on my blood pressure meds and my sugar numbers have fallen about 20 points.  Oh, did I mention I do not eat processed sugar?  I will have some honey in my peanut butter sandwich (don't over do it) and I eat more fruit and vegetables (natural sugars).  I am by no means a vegetarian, I LOVE steak!  Unfortunately, due to an LCL strain and tendinitis I've been unable to exercise for the past month and half and I'm jumping at the bit to get the okay from my doc to start again.  He says at the start of the new year I can give it a go.  He told me that if I wasn't in my mid 50's he let me start again but as I get older the ligaments and tendons take a bit longer to heal.  Roger

Hear they got some pretty good corn fed deer in the area.

Yah, corn fed everything around here, even the nasty ole raccoons are corn fed.

Wife was born with tetralogy of fallot, I spend half a day trying to find a specialist in state that could look at her after she starting having problems during the summer of 2010. Pulmonary hypertension was the diagnosis but with her previous 2 surgeries when she was a child a regular cardiologist would give a few ideals what needed done but all said she had to find an adult congenital heart defect specialist that’s dealt with her situation before. The Heart Center of Indiana at St. Vincents was our last shot in state and they happened to have a wonderful doctor by the name of Dr. Segar who was more than glad to help her out. Was difficult to find a specialist who had dealt with her situation in adults as the simple fact that most in the 60’s and 70’s who were born with her condition never reached adulthood. If it wasn’t for Dr/ Segar at St. Vincents my net call was going to be the Cleveland Clinic followed by Mayo’s Clinic after that.

Just seen Dr. Segar yesterday, he’s very pleased with her progress. Will see him again next year in Indy.

Part of the premise that the un Affordable Care Act was passed on is a lie, the wife lost her good job where she was a line supervisor that had insurance when she refused to take night classes to learn spanish so she could communicate better with some of the employees. She told em if they are going to live in the USA they’d better be learning English instead, I told her good girl and they found a way to let her go within a month. I would have brought it up with the Indiana department of labor or a lawyer but she let it go as she was ready to quit anyways.

She was working in a nursing home when she collapsed in November of 2008 as a temp while she was waiting to be hired  in so no insurance yet, was in A fib when a co worker found her and took three RN’s to keep her going until a AED showed up as they didn’t have a defibrillator in the nursing home as it was considered an end care facility.

Given her pre existing conditions then I couldn’t buy her insurance even if I hit the lottery, the doctor we still see now for her AICD came in after hours with his own nurses and installed the first AICD and we never seen a bill for it, not only did he work gratis he got St. Judes to donate it to her and didn’t charge us for follow up office visits for the first year.  Did a butt ton of paper work and the hospital also waved their fees. He replaced the AICD this last March as the original ones battery was about used up and gave us his personal cell number as he didn’t want us having to deal with his call service once I got her home.

When she started having chest pains in 2010 and I finally found Dr. Segar I talked to the financial aid department of St. Vincents and they said not to worry about paying for it but lets get her healthy first. Faxed them several years worth of tax returns, bank statements etc. and their financial assistance department got the wife on medicare.

So the whole rallying cry behind the Affordable Care Act of if you don’t have insurance your going to die is a lie, much like many others the government tells to get more citizens under their intrusive thumb.

An interesting tidbit about Dr. Hadian, he and several family members walked out of Iran thru the mountains in the dead of winter after the Ayatollah Khomeini took over and Dr. Hadians father was executed for being an undesirable (too outspoken). They found there way to Holland as Djavids mother was dutch. Both my mom and mother in law thinks he’s a very attractive man, never much noticed myself but he still has a heavy accent as he married a dutch woman and that’s all they speak at home, took years to completely understand him without having to have something repeated. I’m usually quick to defend some of those “damn foreign” doctors if I hear somebody complaining about one given all that Dr. Hadian as done for my wife.

Sorry to hear about your wife's issues. Got to respect you for hanging in there. My wife has had three back surgeries over the last three years. Most doctors have given up except for an Egyptian doc that's trying hard to find her some relief. First year for us on obamacare. $10600 per year in insurance payments then another $55000 in deductables and non covered bills this year.  Straying a little from Deer jerky making.

Have one of them even suggested trying some physical therapy?

I was seeing both an orthopedist and a neurologist, next course of action was since I already had the maximum number of cortisone injections was to start burning the nerves off that were causing the pain. I brought up trying physical therapy, up until then neither of them had mentioned it and it was more shots, more scrips and more tests was their plan of treatment. The physical therapy has been a god send, drove two hours to Indy to the farm show, either sat or stood around for two days then drove two hours home, back did better after all that than it would have before we were rear ended.

$55,000 in out of pocket?? With the low prices, low yields from flooding and high input costs unless the crop insurance gods are extremely kind I won’t net any where near that this year.

I was paying almost $5000 this year for premiums but my out of pocket was limited to $2600.

You do know the ACA isn’t about insuring people but all about wealth redistribution.

physical therapy- yes. Her problem we think is from damaged nerves from an earlier herniated disc which has now scared and is inflaming which any movement. They are afraid to go back in and result in more scar tissue or damaging more nerves. Looking at the possibility of a pain pump. We had a procedure done they said was experimental is why insurance wouldn't pay.

Crap, I have one of those as well,  a herniated disc that is along with three bulging discs to go with it.

Sorry to hear it, it drives me nuts to see my wife in pain, sure it can’t be any better on you either.



Now back to the original post, have you tried searching the net for a heart healthy jerky recipe?

Yes we've been looking, found some sodium free but lots sugar or low carb with lots of sodium. we'll come up with some sort of trial runs and find something eatable. Made some salt free 100% deer sausage, two flavors not too bad.Trying for one more slick head and put the whole thing in jerky.Got 2wks left but they are gettin' hard to see in daylight.

I can believe that, hard enough to believe maybe but the original methods of preserving meat was to either salt it heavy or sugar it heavy like a sugar cured ham. Need to find some spices that can take the place of the sugar or salt then good to go.
