Religion in a Nutshell

 

Wet Dog Wednesday

 

Hello All

Before I get into my Bp scare from last week, I would like to take a minute to tell of sad news in our blogging community. Jackiesue aka Yellowdog Granny  passed away recently. I was told by Debra of She Who Seeks in an email Sunday that Jackiesue entered hospice and passed away shortly after. Jackiesue will be greatly missed. She was a feisty sarcastic but well loved woman. Debra will be paying tribute to her on her blog today so please take the time if you knew Jackiesue to venture over to Debra's blog.

Well, I have gotten my Bp under slight control at least it's hovering around 138/94 for now. I'm still wondering why it shot up so high when I was having my vitals taken during my appointment. It was 184/119 on Monday when I went for my usual four month follow up. Everything else was normal except that. My doctor said he wanted me to keep a Bp log for the next 2 weeks. If it goes above 140/90 to call him. It was still high on Thursday 156/121. For the life of me I can't seem to understand why this is happening. Maybe it's the Orange Fat Felon and his pretender christian maga hoard infesting the White House and the Government. Who knows. 

Anywho, I called my doctor and he said maybe it's time to up dose my meds a touch. So instead of half a dose it's a whole pill now. I took my Bp Friday 2 hours after taking my meds and it was down to 148/92. Saturday it was 138/98 and today was 138/94. I'm feeling better but it got really scary. I did notice I was having a really bad  migraine for the past three weeks and they have nearly disappeared now, which is a good thing. I also noticed the loud ringing in my ears is down to a mild hum. I was thinking I'm going to stroke out real soon. So yeah, my meds are working. Although I would feel better with a lower Bp like I used to have back in September last year which was 118/73. My doctor said it's probably stress (Yeah, ya think?) or it could be my age. He said I turned 70, last September, shit happens. I'm getting old, fuck. But this wasn't part of the deal . . . 

Religion in a Nutshell

 

Sorry

 I haven't been feeling my best this past week. My blood pressure is up. I saw my doctor and we tweaked my Bp meds a bit so I have to keep an eye on my it. I had to go buy one of those little machines that keep track of your vitals. I can download them and send them to him he liked that idea very much. I just log into the portal and download everything and he can check it when he has time. So until I feel a bit better and get this adjusted just right, I'll be off and on. I can't promise the moon and stars so bear with me.

So Glad
