And a good Friday morning to all.
My nose and ears seem to want to jump off my head today. They are blocked up like I've been breathing dirty air or something. Goodness. I never used to have allergies. I do now! I think I'm allergic to New Jersey. It's possible you know....stranger things have happened!
Bobby just left to go for a stress test. We have found the right combo of blood pressure drugs to get his BP down to 120/78, which is very good.....but he still doesn't feel like himself. And he isn't behaving like himself either. I sent him back to his primary doctor last week to tell him that Bobby isn't feeling well on these new meds. He is tired all the time, has no energy, falls asleep on the couch at 8 in the evening, has no drive or motivation and is quite irritable for no apparant reason. I hate it that he has to appologize to me for being cranky, but he's just not happy right now. His doctor said he didn't want to change Bobby's meds at this point. He was glad the BP was under control. That he wanted it to stay that way, and he's going to continue to check Bobby every two weeks for a few months to be sure the BP stays normal.
This is all well and good, but goodness, if the side effects make the patient miserable....can you not try another medication??? I guess I will have to be quiet about this for a little longer because I don't want any friction with this doctor. He is very good, very thorough, has Bobby going for the stress test today, and is basically really on top of things. I just want my happy go lucky husband back. He called me yesterday from the bank. Our wedding song was on the radio...he was sobbing! He's become over-emotional too.....ARghhhhhhhhhh, I hate drugs and the effects they have on us.....maybe in a month or so if Bobby is still so despondant, and we complain enough....the doctor will try another combo of meds.
So enough of that! It's Friday! I'm still feeling ok, for a whole week now. I've done a lot this week, cleaning wise, so I'm quite pleased. The kitchen is clean, the bathroom floor is clean, I even got inside the shower and cleaned out the shelves and scrubbed them down. THIS is the kind of clean I like....so when I crash....it will be worth it to me. I won't need to attack the house this badly again until Christmas!!
Hope you all have plans this weekend. The summer is coming to an end quickly.
Do enjoy your friends and loved ones. I'm going to do my exercises now and take my pulse like a good girl.....and wait for Bobby to come home. I'm praying this stress test doesn't take all day!!
Hugs and love to you all!!

After coming home from the shore, I am unable to breathe. RAGWEED. I know exactly what you mean. I want to move back to CA where I had NO ALLERGIES. Anyway, poor Bobby. I hate medications and BP meds can make people so sick. Has he tried supplements?? There are many out there known for helping BP even more than the meds. I have quite a few friends who gave up on the meds due to headaches and depression and dizzyness.
Meds suck.
Have a good weekend and I love you D!! Thanks for yesterday.

It sounds like you've got a plan in place to deal with Bobby's doc, you just have to hang in there a while longer. I never knew BP meds could cause emotional issues. Anything is possible, though. Sending good thoughts for him. And wow, have you done a lot of stuff this week or what??? Superwoman!! You go, girlie!! *HUGS*
