Medical matters...
Nov. 22nd, 2006 10:58 amWhen I made an 8 a.m. appointment to see my doctor today, I'd hadn't realized I'd be taking some holidays, with this the first day. So the first day of my holiday I have to fall out of bed early... really early.
Good news: the losartan has brought my blood pressure right down to 114/80. Happy day. Other sort-of good news: I got a flu shot. I'm never sure whether they are really a good idea - I'm about two per cent convinced they work - but I went for it. And then I had to get blood tests. I hate blood tests! But that's because of horrible memories of them taking many vials of blood and never finding a vein and going back and forth between my arms and leaving loonie-sized bruises. That didn't happen today. It was quick, it was easy. Why isn't it always like that?
Then I came home and slept some more. That's the beauty of holidays. There's nothing to say I can't.
