Well Compensated

Smell the coffee. Well, the expresso in this case. It's all about the water, you know.

Yes, Vickie and I treated ourselves to an expresso machine for our anniversary but that was connected to the heart, too. Because it really is, all about the water.

Expresso is 1.4 ounces, Lungo expresso is 3 ounces a regular cup is 3.5 ounces and a mug is 6 or more ounces.  Can of soda or beer? 12 ounces.  Yoghurt cup? 3 ounces.  So what does it really matter at this point? ;-)

Water - 1500 milliliters per day (about 50 ounces).  The battle is with fluids - as the heart weakens you lose the battle with your own juices. That's called de-compensation (I never, ever expected to learn these things.)  Too much and you swell or can't breathe. So, a whole coffee experience in 1.4 ounces helps!

With care, education, medication and management I can be "well compensated" (Uh, thank you. Thank you very much! Yes I am, but how could you tell from over there?)
