I am not the only one who has trouble finding something to blog about lately. I hope I will have plenty though, when I make my return trip across country.
To answer several people who suggested that I get my own blood pressure monitor, I did just that. I've been taking a reading 1st thing in the morning but that's about it - I think it goes down some during the day. I will see the internist tomorrow at which time he will probably do another blood test. As long as the iron supplements are working I should be ok for now.
I've done a little preliminary research today to see what is involved with having a hitch installed on my Highlander. I might go by the service dept. of the dealer where I purchased it, and see what they would charge. From what I read the Toyota hitch is better quality and looks better than the cheaper after-market version, although I don't know if that is true or not. I may just wait for a while to see how I'm going to be feeling later on this summer, and if I even want to deal with towing. I am optimistic although time will tell. I just can't accept the fact that I'm washed up as far as traveling with some sort of camper, but I never thought I'd get my optimism back at all. As long as I can drive I will be happy, camper or not.

- Results Of Blood Tests
Nearly everything came back ok except for any test relating to blood count and anemia. I started taking an iron supplement today but worry that eye surgery could be held up if I'm determined to be over whatever limit they have for being anemic. I...

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....
- Back To Buckeye
I was up very early this morning as we needed to go to Buckeye and be back in time for the honey wagon I'd signed up for. There is some construction on I-10 that really slows traffic, as it is reduced to one lane in each direction, so Dave found an...
- The Deed Is Done!
Yesterday Steve towed my 5th wheel to a local dealer's lot, and this morning he drove me over to sign the papers authorizing them to sell it for me. They were very pleasant and optimistic, and seemed to be easy to work with, not something I readily...
