Desmond Course

[clairemm]

I went on my Desmond course yesterday, it was interesting and useful, though I think something?s got skimmed over and something went into too much detail and lost me a bit.

Several members of group were more than 50 years older than me (no exaggeration, so how they coped with taking in that, from a speaker that wasn't facing us, talking too fast and laying out coffee cups at the same time, I don?t know, but that was more speaker habits rather than the curriculum.

Was very surprised that they had our own test result waiting for us, but all in all I think I was definitely worth going, because its kicked the apathy out of me and specially as I cant tolerate statins its made me realise I've got to do some thing about the LDL that I literally couldn't plot on the chart as the scale didn't go up that far !!!!

went shopping afterward for wholegrain bread, fruit, sardines ...........

Good you did the DESMOND course, it is worth doing. When I did mine because it has been sometime since I was diagnosed and I have used this forum lots, there were lots of nice reminders.

Good news Claire, glad to hear it has got you motivated! 🙂 When I went on my course it was the other way around - I was about 30 years older than most of the attendees!
