Terrific Tuesday...

well so far anyway!
So yesterday I gave in to Beloved and called the doc and made an appointment. I love my doc but I dislike doctors in general. Not a personal dislike but a professional one. It seems every time i go they find something wrong.

Anyway on my little wrist meter my bp has averaged 170/106 for the last 3 days. That is higher than the normal (for me) of 160 ish over 89. So I decided I have vacation coming up, I would go the first day of vacation and then  what ever meds she puts me on I will have a week to get used to before having to go back to work.

So last night about 4 the doc's office calls me. It is Tammy her nurse. Why are you waiting, tell me what has been going on... she says... After I tell her she says, I do not want you to wait that long, can you come in tomorrow? Ummmm no. Eventually we work it out to come in for labs before work on Thursday, and after work on Friday for the real appointment. She says they are concerned with my bp and my fatigue. She asked about headaches and I said well some, like this weekend, but I don't think that one counts... she asks why and I say wel Saturday evening I got hit in the head by a garage door...

I really would like a natural alternative to chemical drugs but the niacin/ potassium that used to work no longer does. I am on my feet walking around for at least 4 hours a day, not counting what I do at home. I told her I want to exercise but if it makes my bp go up even more than it already is, it scares me to. She said I was right to worry about it.

So I will succumb to their chemicals. I know my bp issues are hereditary. The women on my mothers side have all had stroke issues. Well mom and her sisters my generation has not yet. On my fathers side, he and his parents all had heart attacks. So then I ended up with cancer... So did my brother and a cousin.

So today will be laundry, the machines were busy yesterday and dinner. I plan to put in a plug extension for my sewing machine so I can work and not be stuck on 1 tiny corner of the table.

Well I am off to check my pages and get ready for my day!
hugs y'all!
