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…

fans are working
ideas are forming
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.

focus on the good stuff!

Tag # 3 completed – reworking Tags #1 & 2; they need a little more pizzazz!

Our Journey Notes:
Seems that the dosage for the thyroid med is still off a bit . Umm all the symptoms I previously talked over with the dr are back with a vengeance. There were just a couple of days without any of the symptoms since we changed the dosage. Sending a message via the app with hopes of hearing from him on Monday. I figure he’ll just adjust and drop my taking it down to 5 days instead of 7 until I see him on the 23rd. We’ll see what he says.
