Back from the Dr.'s visit. I really like this new Dr. she has a sense of humor, and best of all we will only get one blood draw a year. Not, the two we were getting.My blood pressure was through the roof 160 over 100. Increasing my blood pressure meds, again. Told to watch salt intake. All in all, everything went smoothly. She is going to be good for us.
It is a relief. Thanks!Oh this is wonderful news! So glad you like this new doctor.
Whoohoo! Vacation day for Minnie! Any special plans? Or just spending Dog Day with the pup?
Don't ask me what I watched, because I don't know--I just kept hitting the up and down button on the remote. 
It's blissful to be a vegetable on the sofa and do absolutely nothing for a few hours. 
That's always my problem, too. There are so many awesome things. I've been to Paris twice, both times for 3 or 4 days and I still haven't seen everything. And that's just Paris.What isn't is a shorter list.
I would recommend an extra portable charger. We had 3 for our two phones and one stopped working, so we had a spare.
Yum! Looks like you had quite a day!! I'm glad you got to do that...you deserve a great day!Followed by some lovely munchies for dinner...
Maybe for you, but having given birth twice, I don't remember there being that much room to push a baby out.If I remember my youth at all, and I will admit that it is starting to get very foggy, where there is a will there is a way.
Those are some of my best days sometimes. No demands. No plans...just....whatever I feel like doing.Well, it's muggy out today, so not too much outdoor activities for me. I did a few errands this morning; and at home, I also sorted through a few piles of clothing that I don't wear anymore. So, I put them in a bag and will take them up to the Goodwill truck tomorrow morning.
Other than that, I just flopped on the sofa and watched tv.
Tonight we go out to dinner, but hubs and I always go out to dinner on Friday nights. Basically, I just enjoyed a day away from work!!!
I was 38 when I was first diagnosed with HBP. At the time it was 200/100. They wouldn't let me leave the Doctors office, in fact, I had to lay down until it dropped. I'm not sure how, after they tell you that it's that high and not to move because it will blow out some major arteries, that you can get the pressure down. That's a lot of stress right there. I had the next several years (two and a half decades to be exact) with it controlled but always a little high 140/90. Then I changed Doctors. She gave me a different regiment of basically the same medicine and almost immediately and ever since (5 years now) I have never seen it above 120/74. Keep the faith, sometimes all it takes is a little tweaking and things straighten out. It's always good to have a new set of eyes looking at the situation.Back from the Dr.'s visit.

That's why they call it "the miracle of birth".Maybe for you, but having given birth twice, I don't remember there being that much room to push a baby out.
I'd love to, but we're not sure how my brother would do with his autism. It has to be something I do in the future with friends, or if I get married someday.
Isn't it crazy - they won't walk into the carrier, but they won't hesitate to jump into a box or walk into a paper bag and take a nap...Took the cat to the vet today for her annual checkup. She's in perfect health and the vet said it was one of the easiest exams she's ever had. Belle was trying to squirt away, but no biting on complaining while in the office, and she went right back in her carrier when the exam was done.
Even getting her into the carrier to go to the vet wasn't hard. I went to the basement to get the carrier. She followed me down, but thankfully didn't see the carrier. I picked her up, cuddled her, and stuck her right in. She went in without picking a fight, just meowed very loudly over the whole indignity of the thing.
Set the expectation that Friday night is date night (that way you'll never have to cook on Friday night!)
That is great advice. I love it.Set the expectation that Friday night is date night (that way you'll never have to cook on Friday night!)
