Hi gals - again - thanks so much for caring - it really makes me feel good when everything else is going to H-E-double hockey sticks!


I did get to the doctor's last night - I asked him to take me to the vet and have me put down.  For some unknown reason he finds that funny..ggrr
 
I stopped taking any meds Sunday night and by yesterday afternoon my back was really aching from the fall. I had no idea it was aching so much cause I was taking FREAKING PILLS FOR MY HEADACHE!  He's not at all concerned about the back - says its probably normal from the fall.  He made me do all kinds of twists and turns and I cursed him with each one  
 
So I got there at 4:40  last night - sat in those awful chairs until 6:15 - left at 6:25 went to the drugstore - handed in the prescription - went to the grocery store to pick up a few things - had to pee but couldn't... - went back to the drug store and he gave me the wrong freaking prescription.  So I still had to wait another 10  minutes while they called him and got the right prescrption filled.  And I STILL had to pee...
 
Now as for the reason for the headaches - apparently when I don't take my blood pressure pills every day - my blood pressure goes to 170/110..... and that's what is causing the heaache.  The doc suggested I keep all the pills with the GOOD ones for  my wrist so I'd remember to take them - smart ass!!! 
 
AND MY FREAKING GOOD LUCK CONTINUES.............................
 
I have to go back and sit in those crummy chairs on Thursday to have the blood pressure taken again.  He keeps telling me I'm a 'good' candidate for a stroke - wish he'd stop saying that!   


Fran - thanks for the email - seriously - you should have been a stand up comedian - you are way too funny...lol


I'll answer posts later because I'm running late this morning.  Have a good day gals.

Ackkk..that darned high blood pressure!! Don't know why that has to happen to people! My DD1 has it too, inherited it from her father, and does take her pills faithfully. She can feel when it's heading up and takes "something" right away too. Scares me, don't like to think about it. Bet you'll take your pills from now on girlie!! During the many times I was going to physical therapy at the rehab hospital, there always seemed to be one or two young women in there

You need to buy one of those little plastic containers with the days of the week boxes.
