~Signing Day~ :-)

Im back in the van again and that's Curtis behind tying me down.

Today was the visit to the doctor to get this paper signed so

I can get a new power chair.. My appt. was for 11 and Curtis

got here about 10:45 or so.. I had to wait about a half hour.. I

was mad..This was a useless trip as far as I was concerned..

When Erica finally called me in back I told her why I was there

and she didn't need to do anything, just get the paper signed..

Well she said "im taking your blood pressure anyway" and

proceeded to do so.. I told her its going to be very high cuz Im

mad..she took the cuff off, put it back, and said its VERY
high..190/100 this is TOO high..she said some other stuff and

said the Dr would be right back as she left..

Few minutes later she came back and said the Dr will be in

in a minute but you have to take this pill to get your blood

pressure back down or we wont let you leave..NOW..did THIS

sound like deja vu? I think I have heard this before.. I told her,

well tried to AGAIN..saying "Just sign the paper, it will come

down". So she left, about 15 minutes later the Dr comes in.

a woman I Have never seen before..very young , pretty and
I don't even remember her name..very nice.. She explained

all the hazards of high pressure like mine and all it can

cause and all I have heard a dozen times... She finally got to

the paper and filled it out..I watched as she signed it..and then

I showed her the fax number to send it to...She promised she

would. I told her I need the stress of THIS problem gone..its

one less I can do without.. I hope she keeps her word...

She put me on a blood pressure patch now..I have to change

it every 3 days..so I will make it the days Penny is here so she

can remind me.. It will be a more constant feed of medication

to keep my blood pressure down..If I can get rid of all the stress

which isnt possible I will be fine. All my other meds are the same

however she does want me to go back and have some blood

work done.. To recheck my thyroid and cholesterol..which she

said was over 500, I don't know what normal or good is on

that..but that was before I have been taking these pills too, so

Im hoping that they have made a difference.. I am so just NOT

a pill taking person.. I even have one of those alarm thingies

to set to remind you..I do that just like I would do the alarm on

a clock..shut it off and forget it. Ive tried lots of reminders and

nothing really works cuz I forget if I take them and Im not sure

well then I don't want to take them again in case I already have,

so I wait till the next day and the same thing happens again..I

have gotten to where I have to keep the container right here on

my keyboard when I go to bed at nite I set it up there so I have

to move it when I get back online in the morning..that works..

so far..

Other than getting this paper signed it was a quiet day of doing

email and I did chat today with a couple of friends, it was a nice

day till later this evening about 6 or so we started getting the

storms I saw on radar headed at us..Right now its pouring rain

and at least the wind has slowed and no more thunder n stuff..
the cats are under the bed..They hate these storms..Im starved

as usual, and I need a snack, then TV, strenous day and I am

really tired.. Im glad today is ending and can start a new one

in a few hours. "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one Now , Y'hear? Love ya, and thanks :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
