Sleepy Hollow

I find it important to tell you that my blood pressure was still grossly high today, like the highest ever.  Which is fun, you know, if you are into strokes and stuff.

I kid.  But it was high.  (157/113)  So, after spending the early part of my day worried about my SKYROCKETING blood pressure, which only increases my blood pressure and after spending my day feeling "cold medicine (night time formula) fatigue", It was time to head to the doctor.  Because I love spending $20 to sit in a waiting room for 75 minutes before getting weighed, then having a grouchy nurse take your pulse and temperature and then talking to a man for four minutes just to leave confused.  The price I will pay for a little adventure.

I'm still having the choking sensation, which means I really need this ultrasound done on Friday.  I won't get the results back until Tuesday.  Until then, my thyroid meds will be increased again and I have been placed on a diuretic, which equals mucho pee.  good times.   

Kids, what have we learned today?  Higher dose of thyroid meds and higher thyroid levels means better chance for quality blogging. (although unlikely) No more of this blood pressure crap.  You think you are tired of it, think of me.

Did you know when we were in Southern Indiana (Brown County, to be exact) we purchased lots of things?  Big things, little things, good smelling things, Christmas things, all sorts of things.  See?

She's very strong.

I have another picture of the guys carrying stuff, too.  Big stuff.  But I'm much too lazy to show you the picture.  What did I carry?  My camera, of course.  I'm all about sharing the responsibilities.  (it took me 2 minutes and 62 tries to spell that work correctly.)

And here is a picture of my sister and I having breakfast at a new favorite restaurant of ours.  Our bill came to $5.50 for both of our breakfasts.  We felt like Rachel Ray on $40 a Day, except we are way less annoying.  Usually.

I'd love to stay up and talk shop with you tonight, but I have fallen asleep three times since starting this post.  No really, like head bopping, mouth open, snoring sleep.  It's attractive to say the least.  I can't even imagine how interesting it will be for you when you've read it.  I hope you've had some caffeine.  or a pillow nearby.

Looks like a good time, hope you enjoyed yourself! I hope this blood pressure thing is under control before you need to go through the doctor thing again!

I'm sorry your blood pressure is still so abnormally high. I can't imagine what you're going through/what that feels like. Please keep us updated! Maybe you need a new doctor??

Your sister is freakishly strong :-) Sounds like you had a great time. It's been a while since I've been to Brown County. I really want to go back now!

I can't believe you bought so much stuff - good for you! And your sister is a strong one. That's a funny picture.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I am available you know. Those darn doctors!
