But first,

I Broke last weeks walking record and it's 4 days into the week!

I'm so excited!

Had Chelation treatment number 26 or 26 today.

Received ( finally ) the test results from the ultrasound done on my
legs 2 weeks ago. The results appear radically different and much
worse than what was shown at the tests at my chelation docs. Here's
the results from the vascular guy:

NON INVASIVE ARTERIAL STUDY; LOWER EXTEMITIES

Right: On the right the ultrasonography showed patent common
femoral, deep femoral, superficial femoral;patent popliteal,anterior
tibial,and posterior tibial arteries. The flow pattern was triphasic
over the common femoral,deep femoral then monophasic over the
popliteal and tibial arteries. The ankle indices were 0.73 and 0.55
for both posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis, respectively.

Left: The ultrasonography shoed patient common femoral, deep
femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal, anterior tibial and
posterior tibial arteries. There is a plaque formation creating
around 70-80% stenosis proximal superficial femoral artery, 80%
stenosis mid superficial femoral artery,. The flow pattern was
triphasic from the common femoral,deep femoral,proximal superficial
femoral arteries,and becomes biphasic to monophasic over the
popliteal and tibeal arteries. The ankle indices were 0.77 and 0.64
for both posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis respectively. The study
was done B-mode scanner. Further investigation might be needed if
clinically indicated.

IMPRESSION: Moderate bilateral atherosclerotic occlusive disease
lower extremities as described.

His recommendation was a stent in the left common illiac as he said
we don't want to see that 100% blocked as the surgery would be
significant. No recommendation for the right side. Said "absolutely
not to do anything" , that "I'm too young for that".

That's almost verbatim.

Any opinions would be welcome.
