A regular visit to my GP yesterday revealed that my blood pressure has been steadily dropping and is well under control. Therefore I can now drop one of the drugs, a calcium blocker, that I have been taking for some years. I am still on the ace inhibitor, a small dose. Finally there is something good about this ordeal of mine this year. Losing 16lbs has helped!
Dr. Waymouth is a great GP, so supportive. She thinks I should write a book as I've done so well, she credits my positive attitude for this. I agree.
Although we changed from Daylight Saving time last weekend, we are still enjoying lovely fall days. The sun is out, sky is blue, it is about 12 during the day so we are relishing our days before winter arrives. Yesterday we cleaned up the VW van ready to store and sell in the spring. It's in good shape so I'm sure it won't be hard to sell and get a good price for it. It's served us well, we've had a lot of fun, but time to move on.
Of course, we are following Mr. Bush's timetable that was supposed to save energy costs by having more daylight time coincide with normal work hours. That doesn't seem to have materialized, rather like many of Mr. Bush's ideas. The good news - soon he will be a smaller bush, then a shrub, twig, then history.
