Okay! Let's lock up all the black cats, put away all the ladders so you can't walk behind them, and be extra cautious with mirrors so none get broken.
There! I've done everything I can to make this a safe Friday the 13th. I think Freddie Kruger is still in the Psych Ward so we're safe there.
Now... notwithstanding the foregoing, TGIF!!
Leftover from yesterday: I suffered through the drug withdrawal/change of the day and my bp and pulse rate both are almost back to normal now. That's one down! It took about nine hours with my bp out of control and I can only hope the worst is past for this one. I've still got a BITCH of a headache but it's getting better so we'll see. They still have a bunch of changes to come if I'm going to get what I WANT. Hopefully, most of them won't have interactions to contend with. The AFib causing one is NEXT and the rat poison is going to be right on its heals. I've still got this damn monitor to put up with for another 12 hours & then it's history. In case you haven't guessed, I put my foot down! We are going to review each of the three dozen prescriptions. They told me I wouldn't survive if I quit all of them cold-turkey and judging from the reactions so far, I believe them. At the worst point on Thursday, my bp went to 190/122. It's now at 150/90 but it's been gradually coming down. At least I'm not going to stroke out at that level and I'm now off of two of their drugs. Hopefully there won't be a rebound from them being gone. Time will tell I guess.
Have a Happy Friday! I'm working on it!
BTW - The moth has nothing t do with Friday the 13th. I just saw her and it's very late in the season for her to still be around. Ordinarily, she should have already laid her eggs and died. Strange year!
Ewwwww, that moth is giving me the creeps!!! I absolutely hate those things!!! I've actually jumped out of a moving car when I saw one in it. Fortunately for me, the car was only going about 10 mph (coming up to a red light).
Mr.Ed, glad you are gradually weaning yourself off all those pills.
Sure hope it works well, if you don't need them anymore, why the heck take them. Wonder why they kept you on them for so long?? Left Dr didn't know what the right Dr was doing? Hard to believe that.
Carol - They have been so afraid that the "healed" Aorta (or other arteries) wouldn't hold up and they have gone to extreme control measures to keep my BP in the 120/60 range. That's the only reason they have held my pulse rate in the 50 beat range for so long. But, they just haven't thought everything through. They have slowed my pulse almost to the stoppage point yet they are surprised when it actually does hesitate. They have completely overlooked the obvious that it is the drugs that cause the hesitation... not the heart itself. Too damn much "book smarts" and not enough common sense. My trigger point was when they talked about a pacemaker to prevent that med-caused hesitation. Hello!!! Time out! We are NOT going there! BTW - My BP is pretty good this morning... not excellent but acceptable. And, my pulse is in the 70s. It looks like another hour and this damn monitor goes in the mail. ☺
♫♪♫ Oh what a beautiful morning.... ♫♫♪
Carol - The quacks haven't allowed me to even go to the Carribe out of fear about the Aorta. For too damn long they have been telling me that I wouldn't have "hours" to get to medical help if something happened and it "split" again. I can't tell you how many times they have pointed out to me that by being in the 10% who survived a dissection, I have already "CHEATED" death and that I should never count on that happening a second time. My scans and tests all show it's completely healed and my heart is super healthy yet they're still afraid to let me go out and play in the mud. My MOTHER was never that controlling. But, she was never paid "thousands" of dollars per hour for her "expert" opinion. Not that I care but my insurance company will breathe a big sigh of relief when these guys aren't collecting big bucks for chasing trails of pixie dust down dead end alleys.
Carol - Sorry 'bout the moth. She has undoubtedly gone to the moth hearafter by now. Would a picture of her "baby" bother you?
Carol - I removed the "scary" pic & replaced it with a "push to view" button. ☺☺☺☺
Mr. Ed too cute.
I didn't see anything to push...but don't want to see ANY moths!! YUK!!
Carol - Right under the underlined Ooooooh - Friday the 13th you'll see the underlined words "Mother Moth" (in red) just above the words "Push for Moth on White pic".
Place your cursor on "Mother Moth" & left click your mouse. I know you don't want to see it but that's how you would if you did. Just tryin' to please............
All I need to do is get through tomorrow morning then I home free for a week. Not sure what I will get into bur I'm sure I can think of something.
