It Needs to Go Down

chewing Luke.jpg It’s a lovely day out. Luke is certainly enjoying the day. John installed my new water heater for me before he and Sarah left for a conference on Wednesday. It’s nice to have such good friends!

My doctor’s appointment didn’t go so well on Tuesday, and I’ve been really tired all week trying to adjust to new meds and deal with the news. While surgery is almost inevitable, getting my blood pressure under control has to happen first. Even on meds the bottom (diastolic) number is rarely below 100. I think it’s supposed to be below 80. This morning my blood pressure was 121/109.

    hope things have been going okay since… i’ve had bp issues too, so i know the feeling. what i don’t get is that i know someone who had a bp of 190/110 or something like that. someone brought a bp machine to a gig and the singer’s bp was so high. we were half joking that he shouldn’t even be standing right now. but, his bp has been high and he can’t afford the meds. i think he needs to get on them. i’ll have to email him…
