Thanks Annie, it was verrrry verrry busy, trying to juggle a zillion balls with only one bat..... thank god I'm working from home tomorrow just a few hours should take care of it..then back in to the workhouse on Saturday..
 

This a.m I had my first ever appointment with a cardiologist - my family doctor sent me to him because I need testing for a reason why my cholesterol is a bit elevated. I've had this problem ever since I got hypopituitarism and was taking a med that took my cholesterol way down but had a negative effect on my kidneys. Then tried a statin drug which I had a nasty reaction to. So the new tests are supposed to tell where next to turn. Otherwise, the old ticker is chugging along very well.

Then I dashed into the grocery store for supplies because we are supposed to get more storms tonight and maybe tomorrow - then gassed up the car. I've been gradually replacing the LED bulbs in my ceiling can lights but I hate having to climb up on the kitchen counter in order to reach the ceiling - when I look up to screw in the light I feel just a wee bit dizzy which is scary. So I'm replacing bulbs at the rate of 1 or 2 a day but eventually this chore will get done.

Holly and Annie - you both are such a help as I move along on my UK journey project - many thanks to you both! I don't mind if the UK weather is rainy because that's what helps make the landscape so beautiful - and I know I need to explore Scotland being a huge fan of the Outlander series. The countryside and mountains shown in this series is the most beautiful I've ever seen anywhere!

Hope everyone's day went very well!
 
Right now it's 102F and climbing. I'm shutting off the air conditioner in my apartment and going down to the pool for a swim and a cool glass of chardonnay until early evening. Then I will come back to my apartment, I will turn on the air conditioner and fix a nice cheese,tomato,mushroom omlette and salad for my dinner with some more wine of course. Then some Netflix until bed time.
 
Went on a 2 1/2 hour tubing trip yesterday down the Green River Gorge. Gorge-ous! One thing about tubing is that it is great training for patience......there is no hurrying the river; the river will get you there when the river wants to. Went to the doctor today to see if the back and side pain I've had for the last nine days is another kidney stone. Doesn't look like it and they gave me some really, really good muscle relaxants. This afternoon, I don't care when that damn river gets me there....I just don't care, I tell you! Woooooo.....

I am a HUGE Outlander fan. And Scotland is as gorgeous as they show in the series!

Good morning all..

I've been up since 5am..got 2 hours of work done at home online and on the phone... another 2 or 3 hours later today should finish it off ...I do like my odd days working from home.. :)

Kath I hope you get your results quickly so they can find where the problem lies and get it all fixed for you PDQ.. :love_heart:..and the predicted storms aren't too bad..



Jujube tubing it's great fun, but not for me these days my back would seize up completely after 10 minutes.. hope you had a fab time tho'...:D

Temps are set to be high here today but it's threatening rain so home is probably the best place for me t'day

Have a good day folks.. :D

Regarding my blood pressure which keeps going up and down like a Yo Yo, Its so annoying, poor doctor just about pulling what hair he has left out :) He is wondering if it's a inherited problem , trouble is don't really have any older relatives left to ask if they have ever had problems..with BP

Kadee - A few years ago, I began to have episodes of spiking BP. My doctor was trying all sorts of tests to get to the reason why this was happening. As it turned out, he finally found that a medication I was taking was causing a side effect (the spiky BP). Some prescription meds are easily taken by many folks, but others get bad reactions to the same med. For instance, I am so allergic to sulfa drugs that I break out in hives everywhere, even in my mouth. Maybe your doctor could look at medication reaction unless he already has done that. I know BP spikes are nerve-wracking but I hope you can try to stay as calm about it as you can. I'll be thinking about you and hoping your BP soon stops its spikiness.
 
It's going to be another hot day hitting 106F by 2PM so I may just go hide out at a movie this afternoon and a swim after and before a light and early dinner. Maybe play a little poker with some of my neighbors early evening.
 
Nearly finished packing for our trip tomorrow. We've booked the best location to use as a base for bike rides. A couple of islands are on our list and bicycles are free on the ferries, so just a small passenger fee. And then lots of coastal rides and some in the countryside.

Did you doctor mentioned a pacemaker to control the blood pressure?
My 42 year old daughter has one for 4 years now..big improvement.

Thanks Kath , I have mentioned that to him but for some reason they are reluctant to change Meds .....I have been to cardoligist and had all sorts of tests nothing showed up ..So frustrating ..
Im also a very sentisive person when it comes to Meds .. I'm allergic to antibiotics, a Fluid tablets , sulpha you name it ....
i have been on the same Meds for over 10 years ...

Thanks DJ As Mentioned above ..I seen a cardiologist for over two years, had MRI all sorts of tests nothing wrong with the works
I have stopped seeing her it was costing me a fortune and resolving nothing.....
 
Kadee, I am medication sensitive/allergic also. Even those meds my picky body tolerates have a nasty habit of reversing themselves after a time. Ie making the problem worse. I suggest you find a doctor who will try new meds. Best of luck, keep us posted.
 
Wow, am I beat! Spent most of today sprucing (oh, a good ING word!) up the house as my daughter, son-in-law, 3 grandkids, and their dog are going to drive up here for a few days. I just have today and tomorrow to get everything done and I just barely have enough beds - the dog gets all the floor. Then there's the food thing because they are hugely into health food, like all must be gluten-free, sugar-free, everything-free except for the smoothies which are primarily made of kale. Another grocery store trip.

Bon voyage, Annie! Have a great trip!
 
Just a quick good morning all ( 7am and I'm just getting ready to leave for the workhouse) ...it's set to be hot today around low 80's , but I won't see much of the sun, but thank god it's not the same temps as you have Lon, because we have no AC at work...

Annie have a great time. :D
 
Beautiful, sunny morning here in my little corner of north west England. I've got my granddaughters coming round this afternoon then grandson coming round to stay the night so... this morning is going to be a very lazy one, sitting outside reading my book and soaking up the sunshine.

Enjoy your trip away, AS.
