Sending hugs and good wishes, my dear. Depression sucks. It makes perfect sense to me that you'd feel anxiety and fear about the stroke: terribly scary stuff. You're doing what you need to do in terms of eating and exercise; that's a lot to be proud of.

I wish I could hep with the tofu, but frankly, I can't stand the stuff. Ditto eggplant. Why can't it be cheese that is the thing that is good for us?
