Thanks! Unfortunately, the way I found out about it sucked. I woke up one Saturday morning in early February to find that I couldn't support my self when standing up on my left foot. I just turned 40 in late January so I thought. poo. The warrantee ran out and I'm starting to fall apart. I go to the doc and get weighed. 213lbs. Ok. the last time I weighed myself I was 225lbs but that was at least six months prior. Turns out I had "planters farciitis"(sp). Ok. High arches with almost no support. Got over that.
Last week, my blood pressure was just going through the roof. Went back to the Doc. I weighed in, on the same scale, at 208lbs. Wow. On to the little room. 170 over 120. Turns out that my blood pressure medication refills ran out in February.....'04. After the nurse chewed half my butt off the Doc came in and chewed the rest off! I did tell him he needed to subtract 10 from both numbers simply because I was in the doctor's office! He said "Ok. Still, you SOB, it's too high!" and started chewing somemore!
I get to go back to the doc the beginning of April. Oh joy! I'm all out of butt now so I don't know what he's going to chew on!
I don't get it. When I take my little 7.5mg pill once a day, my BP is right around 120-80. But if I miss just one day, it can shoot up to 180-140. Ok, that was my worst day but still.
Hey Michael? Now that I'm thinking about it. I'll trade you. I'll take your broken pelvis bone. You take my BP problems. Fair trade? You get to race around with BP issues! I'd like to stay in bed for six months or so!
