Had another episode of very high blood pressure last night. It starts with a hot flash that makes me sweat. I then get diarrhea and a bad headache. I finally took four baby aspirin and two blood pressure pills. I took a hot bath and went to bed. After about 15 minutes in bed my blood pressure dropped back to my normal. This is getting old!
I sent a note to my doctor this morning as he had asked me to let him know if my blood pressure was still high. His response was to go to the ED if it happens again. WTF? Still don’t have results from the stress test that was done Tuesday. I have been to the ED twice this month and nothing has changed. I think if I decide to go again I will go to Topeka and see if they can find out something more helpful.
Had a bit of higher blood pressure today but it has gone up and down and hasn’t stayed high. We shall see what tonight brings. Sure wish I knew what was behind all of this and what I could do about it.
I stayed home all day today. I wasn’t in the mood to people and what groceries I needed could wait another day or two. Kathy went for happy hour this afternoon but I wasn’t in the mood so I stayed home. Sometimes I need to put myself in time-out and today was one of those days,
A lady from Newton called me today and we had a good conversation about the Love in Action project. Her church used to provide a ministry to the Detention Center in Cottonwood Falls and wanted to join forces. What she wants to do isn’t what the Captain has allowed me to do so I recommended she call him herself to see if he would allow it. I don’t want to push my luck with him and take a chance of him shutting down what we are able to do now.
I didn’t get hold of the Captain today as I wasn’t in the mood to do so. I will attempt to do so next week. He lets me know if there is anything they need so will trust that he would have reached out if he needed something.
No plans for the weekend. I may go to a Rally in Topeka on Monday if I am feeling better. We shall see what happens.
Grateful for another stay-at-home-day, grateful for the interest in the Love in Action project, and grateful all is well even when I doubt it.
