Let me know what you think of this:
ok to give you some background, I am leaving for my trip in 60 days and I have already purchased my medical travel insurance. Several days ago I got my blood work back and my cholesterol was up (6.6 in Canada standards). It was somewhat high last year too (5.5). My Dr. does not recommend medications b/c she feels I can get it down with exercise and eating more healthy. She does want to recheck in 6 months. OK, with that being said i have been talking back and forth with my medical insurance people and I wasnt to make sure I will be covered in case I have a stroke or heart attack (very unlikely I know). So now they tell me I will not be covered if anything should arise relating to the high cholesterol, but they did say that a heart attack and stroke is unforeseen and not caused solely by the cholesterol so I will be covered it anything should happen. This time a few days ago I was ready to call off my trip, but now I feel better about going. Tell me I am not crazy! Thanks
