• Good news

  According to the cardio docs, my heart is fine and the only thing they could find was frequent PVCs, which shouldn't mean anything.    My blood pressure is still fluctuating, but they have dc'd a couple of my meds and now I am only taking one b/p med, so I am hoping to be modulated soon.   I see the cardio man again on the 22nd of June.   More good news then I hope.

  I took the findings to my primary care doc this morning who agreed that my heart is ok.  He did note that my eyes were swollen and we discussed other symptoms and came to the conclusion that I have an allergy.  I got a depo medrol shot and must go back in a month.    He also told me to double up on my diabetes med and maybe we can get my numbers down there too.

  I came home, fixed Gordon's lunch, baked some cookies for Gordon, ate my lunch and napped for about an hour.    My eyes look better and my throat seems clearer.    I have been having a dry hacky cough for a while, but never thought about the possibility of an allergy.  

  Gordon says it's probably the cats.    Of course, I have had cats all my life and never had an allergy but that's not saying I couldn't have one now.    We'll just have to see how things progress.

  Other than that, life around here is just about the same.    I am taking it one day at a time, trying not to complain too much, and thanking God for what we have.  

  Our 55th wedding anniversary is tomorrow, but it will pass like any other day, no fanfare, gifts or anything.     Again, I am thanking God that we have each other, through thick and thin, in sickness and health, for better for worse, till death.       I remember those kids who started out together, blinded by love and guided by our hearts.  

  Those kids are now much older, maybe a little wiser and still in love, still till death do us part.
