Lovely walk yesterday morning – the weather was perfect
visited with a friend
started the prep work to paint the ramp

Our Journey Notes:
My doctor appointment went about as planned. Got a couple of answers and an offer for a referral to a change in headache meds if needed. Declined for right now. Blood work results are in – expecting a call this morning from the office. TSH levels are up a bit — so that’s better. Still have some complaints, but there is some improvement since February. Just need to give it a little more time. The other blood test shows a higher level, not good, but grateful we talked about it so we have a plan in place for next steps – for now, we watch.

it can be puzzling…

Our Journey Notes:
Notes from T’s Thursday post op visit finally posted and thankfully, we weren’t far off on the number of drops he was supposed to do over the weekend. PHEW! Hopefully, the left eye will look much better at his next appointment this coming week.

Best reading in 5 days for the BP in the am. Not sure what made the difference, but I’m grateful it was down in the normal range again. I’ll celebrate that this morning. We’ll see how the next two readings go for today — Fingers crossed they’ll stay in the same range. Migraine and insomnia are still major players in the daily mix, however. Hoping that changes soon.

have hope…

BP looking a bit better

Our Journey Notes:
BP numbers are definitely looking better, but still on the high side in the am and at bedtime. Lunch time has the best overall numbers. Today’s to-do list is a fairly short one for a Friday — so that’s a good thing and I should be able to spend some time in the studio working on a birthday card design. I’d like to try to get it done today if possible and have it checked of next week’s list.

T’s left eye is still swollen – but they were able to get the flap loosened a bit and the pressure down a bit more. Change in his meds again, and I fear that this will be something that happens every week until he’s released from his post op appointments.

slow down…

I haven’t thrown the printer out – yet!
Stack of ministering cards have been completed and are ready for mailing now
3 Spring Tags Reveal begins today

Our Journey notes:
T has an appointment this morning to lift the flap on the bleb. Let’s hope that goes well.
Blood pressure scare for me yesterday… much too high, but I think we discovered the reason why and hopefully, the next couple of days will give us a fuller picture. Good thing I have a dr appointment on Monday.
