Yesterday I went in for a routine Dr.'s appointment and was immediately she told me to get to the emergency room and check myself into have myself monitored. My BP was 228/140 and for years its been 180/around the century mark. Well this really scared me and I had to take a deep breath and take it all in. I had a friend take me and I checked myself in and the long nightmarish night began. The Dr came into my room three times and told me it was normal. He told me the first time he was going to have me stay for another day just to make sure. Now I was finally checked in and hooked up to the machine that monitors everything they were interested in at about 7:00. i tried to sleep but the bed was so narrow I was terribly uncomfortable and had nightmares as well as an area on my right calf has gotten infected and it hurt terribly. All in all I was not getting any rest . At about 10 minutes to midnight the nurse came in to check on me and let me go to the restroom. I was just settling back down when he came back in and asked me how would I like to be dischrged? I called my friend and the vehicle she had available before was no longer available to come get me. Bless her heart tho she made umpteen calls and found a friend of hers that was available and they came to get me. From the time I was disharged and she was able to find someone it was 4-1/2 hours. What a story to tell though. My BP was normal on all reports and they had me on constant watch, and the Dr felt comfortable letting me go home. I feel this was of God as a couple days ago I asked God to help me get my health issues under control and this was an eye opener. I would ask all my freinds to pray for me and keep me in that little place in your heart so I may do what He wants me to do to get back to being me again.

Larsin I know what you're saying and it's very true but let me tell you what the Dr wrote in my SSD evaluation. When they accepted my claim for Disability I didn't even read the report and review each Dr wrote. I was psycho analysed as well as physically! The physical report was worse than I realised and when I finally did read it it kind of shook me up as I always thought in the back of my mind I would some day go back to working and being more like I use to be. I have been noticing my legs and particularly my knees just wasn't doing as well as they use to. The report talked about my knees and especially my right one. She said that according to the x-rays they took of me showed where this particular knee was basically unuseable and that it was wearing grooves in each side if the joint. I saw what my brother went thru dealing with that. I could have a knee repalcement done but my current weight is an inhibitor of that. I have been trying to adapt my mindset to accepting and living with that. It.s not easy when you been a lifetime outdoors person. There are many other things along with this that basically took away my hope ever returning to that life style ever again. So now I am trying to find out what else I can do to keep my mind and soul active and happy and as free as is possible under the present situation. Don't think about this thread as a cry and whine session as I vocalize my pain so I hear what I say and it really helps me figure things out much more clearly than any other way I have found for me! Thanks agsin for all your support guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

A 15 minute walk usually lowers your blood pressure down to acceptable levels. 180/100 is way too high, if this is the case you gotta get a dog to walk and change your diet. Become a mild vegetarian, eat meat just once a week and stop watching porn!! Edited August 18, 2013 by Joe Canadian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
