pffft!

Did go to the doctor’s office today.  Looks like the concerns for my elbows, knees and ankles are straight up advancing osteoarthritis.  I am not surprised. I am not thrilled but I can take it.  X rays were taken of my knees and back. She isn’t quite sure what the back problem is yet but we will keep evaluating that.

Joyfully my BP was like…zoom…high.  140s/100.  Took it two times.  Both times same thing.  Well PIFFLE!

I do take anti-hypertensive meds and they may not be doing quite the job they use to do.  I’ll be monitoring my BP over the upcoming couple of weeks to see what it is running, generally, daily.  Key: take it same time every day, same conditions.  My work-partner said she will gladly do this for me. Bless her little heart.

While I could say, I was in pain (and I was!) and that is why my BP is high…lets face it.  That is not likely the cause.  I have been noted to have slowly increasing BP levels the last couple years and yes, I have been ignoring them.  So: now I am not.  Pro-activity is the word for the day.

Speaking of proactive: mom had a colonoscopy and they removed quite a few pre-cancerous polyps and they are the genetic kind…AAARRGH! I hate colonoscopy testing.  But I guess I have to get off the stick and go ahead and schedule one now.

Adulting sucks sometimes…Even for those of us who are use to adulting.
