I need to get to bed earlier tonight than I have been lately, as I have to be downtown to see my doctor for a follow-up at 9:30 am tomorrow. I've become used to staying up later and staying in bed longer in the morning. I think my mattress and down comforter are the best in the early morning. I don't have much to ask the doctor - I've been having a bit more indigestion than I usually have, but I've found when you mention the slightest issue there is a test they want you to take. I decided a long time ago I'm not swallowing a damn camera and I don't care how they feel about it.
My granddaughter is flying in from Pennsylvania this evening, and should be at home by now. It will be so good to see her.
It is much colder now than it has been yet this season, and will probably drop down some more. I don't think we will see any snow in Sacramento, although we did get enough snow to cover the ground when I lived here in the 1980's.
So far I haven't needed to take the blood pressure meds, and I am so happy about that. I wondered why until I watched Dr. Oz today and he talked about a diet that kept blood pressure down - about exactly what I eat anyway. I'm sure most ailments can be managed by diet rather than chemicals that enrich the drug companies. I'm still debating whether or not to get the flu shot, and I know that will be the main thing the Dr. will hit me with when I get there tomorrow. I halfway agreed to it, but I don't like or trust the idea.
Well, early to bed for me tonight. Later -
- Just When You Think You're Fine
I've been feeling great lately, and gaining a little more energy each day. Last night I was relaxing in my recliner and decided to take my blood pressure - I really wanted to find out what my resting heart rate was. The bp rate was just...
- A Lucky Morning
Before loading the washing machine this morning I did a final check on pockets, and found a $10 bill. The feeling was like winning 10 bucks on a lottery ticket! Jeannie & I walked at Mather Field yesterday evening, and later on in the evening...
- Medical Appointments & Shopping
Jeannie drove me to my appointment this morning, and then we went by her medical facility on the way home so she could get her first m'gram. She just turned 40 and was a bit apprehensive about it, but said it wasn't bad at all. After all...
- A Tiring Day
Jeannie picked me up at 8 am this morning and we made the trip downtown to my doctor. I had bloodworm done plus X-rays. I still have a small amount of fluid in my lungs, but I'm improving little by little. I asked how long...

First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a happy holiday, however and whatever you celebrate. Thanks to you folks for all the comments to my post about rising blood pressure. I would like to make a comment on the drug store blood pressure machines....
