Advice?
Sadly for men like him (and me) the wake-up call will come in the ER.
When I checked in the ER with a blood pressure of 210/180 (verified by EMS), I came to realize I had better stop screwing up my health.
I’ve been where your husband is. All I can say is keep trying your best to influence him.
Yippee, a post that is actually helpful, LOL! He says he wants to exercise, like, “Yeah, I should really ride my bike sometime...” but it seems he doesn’t have the gumption to ACT on his good intentions. I’ve wondered if his testosterone is low.
His dad had triple bypass surgery. His cholesterol is high. He was in the obese category, but after biking last summer he lost 25 lbs and is now in the overweight category. No doubt I will pay a price for his inaction. It’s hard to understand how a man can let his health go, knowing he might make his wife a widow, or worry her terribly.
