Good morning

Well i woke up this morning and my fingers and ankles swollen again. I thought this new medication she gave me for my bp was also suppose to help with water too.. I was just so itchy this morning too.. ughhh.. Well i go into see her again this friday and she will tell me if my bp has come down enough to be okay for surgery. keep fingers crossed please! i hope everyone's memorial weekend went well. We went up to Jefferson barracks and then went and visited my dh's father and brothers grave. Then we came home and had a relaxing day.

hope the blood pressure comes down for you soon. I have to take two pills to keep mine under control and to keep the water rentention down. If you can just get it down to normal till the surgery then that will probaly take care of it afterwards. Most people dont even have to take it again for B/p . wont that be nice. I know i am looking forward to that . We didnt do much this week end . spent it working in the yard. which is relaxing to me. I get sweaty, and dirty as a pig and then take a good shower and feel really good. lol Hope all goes well for you this friday. and you get to set up surgery date soon. Jan

Jan, oh yes that would be wonderful. I never really had to worry about my bp and then the last oppt i had she put me on meds because it was so high 140/110.. And now I have to wait for it to get under control or down a little before she will give me the okay for surgery. They wont send in any of the paper work before I get the okay from her so its just a wait and see game. i know one thing.. I have never had to pee so much in my life untill I started this medicine lol.. I went outside this morning and watered the grass and my flowers.. Sat on my patio for a little bit and then I had to come back in.. I was red faced from the heat.. So I jumped in the shower again turned the central air up and read a book for a bit. Kids want me to take them down to the pool today and ughhhh I reall dont want to..

Hello! I'm new here and wanted to stop in and say hello. I live in Barnhart, so it sounds like we are neighbors! I hope you are feeling better soon. I am 32 with a 7-year-old daughter. My father is buried and Jefferson Barracks as well. he died at 36 of heart disease.

I just got done reading a good book and am now ready to curl up to my pillows for the night. thank you for your comments and i hope to see you around the board! Jai
