About Me
I am single/divorced, an empty nester and work full time for a school district in transportation office. I have three adult children, all married and each has blessed me with a grandchild in the last two years. I like life simple, it's much more enjoyable. It helps to keep things in their place. I do like to have fun and being serious when it's called for. Life is too short to waste on what if's. I can finally say I like myself, well maybe most of the time. But I am at the age, I have learned to laugh at myself and not worry about the speed bumps in life.
Interests
family, computer, music, crocheting and reading.

Close Cataracts
I had problems seeing with my right eye over the summer of 2007. It was like seeing through waxed paper. When I went to the eye doctor in October 2007 (because I had my eye glasses changed in October 2006) he advised I had a cataract and the beginning of one in my left eye. I have been near sighted all my life and have worn glasses since 16 years old.
Treatments
- Surgery Working / Worked
- I had the cataract removed from my right eye with a far sighted lens implant inserted in Nov. 2007. In April 2008 I had the left eye cataract removed and a near sighted lens implant inserted. I have what is called Monovision and I am enjoying seeing without eyeglasses.
Close High Blood Pressure
Both my parents have high blood pressure and I developed it at 48 years old.
Treatments
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- My doctor has me taking 6 daily (2 @ 3 times a day). Side effects, very soft bowel movements
- HCT Somewhat Helpful
- Helps somewhat with swelling in feet and ankles which occurs mainly in hot weather. Side effect: dry mouth
- Metoprolol Working / Worked
- Taking half tablet twice a day. BP is 116 over 60 Side effect: tire easily
- Plendil Working / Worked

Treatments

Open Angina
I was told today after a stress test that I need to see a heart doctor for myocardial ischemia. My first appointment will be Aug. 13th. I am on metoprolol and felodipine for high blood pressure which has been reading around 108/72 average. I've been dealing with a pressure at the sternum and swelling in both ankles and feet. Dr. did put me on furosemide (lasix) about 10 days ago, swelling is gone, so I am stopping that due to potassium levels dropping slightly, even though I take potassium.
Treatments
- Metoprolol Working / Worked
- is working for hbp, but developing pressure in chest. 1st appt with heart doctor may change dosage.
- Plendil Working / Worked
- is working for hbp, but developing pressure in chest. 1st appt with heart doctor may change dosage.
