I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER RIGHT NOW

I actually hauled ass down to the doctor at eight this morning and made an appointment for noon.  I went in with great hopes that my blood pressure had come down.  Nope.  Not one bit.  185 over 110.  And while its that high he told me I cannot do anything strenuous, can't travel, can't have hot showers or baths, can't go to the gym.  I am getting terrific headaches and can't take ibuprofen.  Nothing else works for me.  No salt.  No caffeine.  And he has sent me to the lab to get a zillion tests, including the diabetes A1C.  So after tomorrow there will be no sugar, no flour (less than I do now).  I am having an ecg, as well as checking every body fluid possible.  This is why I hate going to doctors.  They always find something new.  You watch.  I will report back on that.  I have to go back to see him next thursday.  There will be something more they find, I just know it.

I had a great day yesterday.  I picked up Kathy and we went down to the Kiwanis meeting.  Had a fantastic Reuben sandwich and there was a good turnout.  Its not a big club, maybe only about twenty members and there were about fourteen people there.  After the meeting we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and spent a lovely hour scouring the store for good buys.  Kathy managed to find the best buy of them all...rolls of Xmas wrap, 100 sq feet, for 14 cents a roll!!!!  You can't beat that!  And I found three for five bucks good sized hand soap with pump in Lavender!  Three of them!!  Five bucks!  We had a hoot in there!

Now I am off to pick up Kathy and head off to the Fox and Hounds then the bus to the game.  Everett Washington is playing our team tonight.  Its just so much fun!!!  TTYL

  2. Holy cow. Mine was high last time I went, too. 176/100. It came down a bit when i got home,and had not been high before so I am hoping its just "white coat syndrome" . At any rate, perhaps if you do as they say, you can get it under control.
