Shoo, sorry I missed you both! I fell asleep for a bit. I've been doing that off and on all day. I'm not coughing as much or as hard today and I can BREATHE, hooray! Still a little congested up in my head and deep in my chest but I feel sooo much better. I'm gonna LIVE!
Anyway good night.

Sorry to hear you have been sick, but glad to hear you have been improving.

Got back from my family to a sink full of dirty dishes. Not sure who missed me most, DH or the puppies!
A very nice reunion with a few Aunts, Uncle's, and cousins. About 200 people. Most of my Aunt's and Uncle's couldn't attend due to health problems/age. My brother is POA so he had family auction for possessions belonging to 2 Aunt's who have moved in to family family members. Lots of beautiful quilts, afghans, embroidered items, hand made rugs. My brother was hoping for a good outcome because he has been paying the way for one Aunt. The house+2 acres will be sold at public auction. It butts up to the Conestoga Creek and historical Poole Forge covered bridge. They are expecting a good price. I got some treasures, a quilt made by my Great Grandmother- that is still new

Right now I'm at the Drs office getting an infusion. I had given in to a little inner voice telling me it's hungry for a taste of saur kraut and I paid for my mistake with a Crohn's flare.
Next stop will be knee injection for DH. ( First hyaluronic acid injection to get him off the steroids)
Then tomorrow it's dentist for DH to fix his tooth and get medical clearance for his infusion

I'm home and have my BP down.
My CT and chest x-ray looked good. They were quite concerned about a possible stroke, could tell when the Dr. started touching my face and asking me to show my teeth. Show teeth instead of smile, interesting. I wasn't concerned about a stroke, I've worked with enough elderly people to know the signs, but the thought of a bleeder came to mind. My head! It felt like it was going to explode. I was dizzy! Shaky. Held on to Mindi. Horrible pain, and I've suffered with Migraines for years. This one was bad. I told them..no pain meds! I'm so sensitive to medication. They got to hear my story of how I just take bites of my BP when it's up and it drops way down just fine. Not this time, I was taking bigger.
As I layed there, my BP started to go down. The nurse explained something. My Occipital Migraines cause BP to go up. They start going against each other..pain..bp..pain..BP. That made sense.
The Dr. ~ I explained I had been packing to sell and looking at houses. He puts his head up and says ohhh, like that wouldn't raise BP. He had been on his way out the door when I told him all of this and then said, my husband passed away, he puts his head down walks over to me and says I'm so sorry. I say it's been 3 years. But I'm having a hard time with it still. This is the home we bought together. He says this has to be hard. He's really pulling things together now..As..am I, about this BP. I told him I'm thinking that moving will help. He says, slow down with everything. .. I've only heard that about a hundred and fifty times from the kids. So.
Slowing down now.
I took more Amlodipine before bed. BP in a good area. I went ahead and took more this morning to stay on top of it. I don't want to go through that again.
Of course he wants me to follow up with my PC to see if there's some other medication to work with. I'll go but, we've already tried. This was the best he and I could come up with.
Also, I told Austin I'm ready to take my Neuro up on Botox shots in the back neck muscles for my Occipital Neuralgia Migraines.
Getting old, no fun ey?

Just got a message from realtor. Finally getting photos of the home and property. Will be up for sale by this weekend.
Kids and I are excited about another home. It's actually a town how I think they're called.
I think of them as a glorified apt. living. Then I went inside! Nice. I ask, wouldn't you rather have a home? They say this is a home, plus down the road they could buy the other side. Ok. We'll see. It pretty nice, yard, mountain view. There's an open house again this Saturday for it. Who knows. Price is great.
