I took advantage of a very quiet Sunday by sending my medical report to my doctor via the internet.  He had asked for an update of my #'s after 4 weeks being on a new, additional medication.  He had been concerned about my blood pressure and this was supposed to help it go down.  I was happy to report to him that it does seem to be working.  Those particular #'s went from an average of 124/81 to around 112/76.  He was mostly concerned with the 'bottom' (2nd) #. I believe that is a good result, and I hope that he agrees with me.  (I hope to hear back from him in a few days.)  I had also noticed that my 'blood #' had changed for the better.  Since that new pill that average went from 119 to 106.  He ever said that that kind of thing might happen, so I am especially anxious to hear what he thinks about that.  

 

Last night we went to Angie Burke's wedding reception and were able to visit some people from the old ward.  Some were in really bad health circumstances, and some of those were younger then we are.  It does make me appreciate our state and I believe that my efforts in diet and exercise (push ups) have really pain off.  We don't want to run into those kinds of problems.  We have too many grand kids (and

kids, for that matter) that need us to be around.  (At least I hope that that is the case!)
