I have since I wrote that. This new one at least accepts that I'm not ready for blood thinners right now. I can always change my mind down the road.

Gosh, I have had the opinions of three cardiologists, no, four—my grandson is a cardiologist as well (!) and two general practitioners over the years. Aspirin is my choice and I feel so much better that I will never go back.
I hope I am not being a bad influence, but as individuals we really do need to remember that we each have the authority to choose the quality of life we need in order to thrive in the now.
