Today's Organ Recital

To my surprise, I actually feel very ... okay ... today. I took a couple of Tylenol with my morning meds, and maybe thatg made a difference. Yesterday was not so good, and I made an appointment for a neck/shoulder massage after school today; of course, today I feel much better. It may be that I don't actually need treatment, and all I need to do is keep making various appointments, after which my pain will go away, making the appointment unnecessary. I think it's worth a shot.

My dear doctor -- the internist -- is not the brightest bulb, and I believe I shall have to look elsewhere. After telling me for three years to lose weight, she now says that my weight loss is responsible for my lowered blood pressure, and I MUST get that blood pressure up! She changed that med, and put me on something that does not have a diuretic in it. First day, I gained a half pound. Second day, I gained another half pound. If I gain yet another tomorrow, I am putting myself back on the old med. (I'm seeing the cardiologist Tuesday, so I'm not in any actual danger.) Correct my if I'm wrong, but isn't lower blood pressure one of the reasons they tell us to lose weight? Don't they have a plan for when/if it happens?

So, massage after school, and dinner with the retirees tonight, although I haven't yet heard from the Chum or E, and if they're not going, I may skip it as well.

After the horror of last weekend's weather, today may actually be one of the most beautiful days of the year. It's clear and crisp, there's a beautiful blue sky punctuated by fluffy white clouds, and it's 68 degrees. Yes, I believe it's still March, which has now turned from a pack of lions into a whole herd of lambs. It's absolutely magnificent out there, and is expected to improve over the next few days. This may even get me outside for a little while.
