Up late, moving slow.

Yada, yada.  At 9:30 I finally crawled out of bed.  The dream of Sassy, the young cat, pouncing through the air at me in some as of yet unseen in reality act of fury at not being fed woke me.  So, the girls were fed right away.  It is hitting 11:00 and I am just coming to grips with the fact that I am alive, awake, and need to get going.  I need to buy a breaker bar and aspirin.  I will just take the hydrant that was too short in and worry about getting a refund there.  Something about not asking for permission, just doing.

Sleep was good.  Another cool night.  There can't be many of those left though so I might as well enjoy them.  My bp, after getting to my max dosage of medicine since Thursday, is 214/133.  I need to set up an appointment with my doc and order some medicines.  Though I don't know what they can do.  More medicine isn't viable.  There might be another medicine they could try but new medicines have a way of not working out well at all, one way, another, or sometimes not working in every way possible.  I am sort of, possibly, at the end of the road with doctors and medicine if this stuff doesn't kick in though.  I did see the other day where they might have a procedure which deadens some nerves near the kidney(?).  But that only drops bp by 33 points or so, and is experimental.  I stayed away from their experimentation in psychology/psychiatry though.  I'm not about to let other quacks start doing weird stuff now.  They are all the same.

You know, remembering back, I realized they did some minor checking of my heart when I first became ill, and throughout my illness.  It wasn't until they did an ultrasound type of test, where they actually looked at my heart, that they found the problem.  They suspected the heart, they just didn't look at the problem closely enough.  In all other tests my heart seems perfectly normal.  Odd.  And they didn't consider looking at my heart more seriously, even after high blood pressure, until I had severe edema.  They missed that boat at every turn, but at least now, in my mind, given the general incompetence inherent in medicine, another form of science, I am at ease that they were at least considering things.

Well, I best get going.  Another hour is needed to wake up though.  It's been tough breaking out of sleep lately, today is no different.  If I can't, there is tomorrow.  I just hoped that a little rest over the weekend would help.  Have a great day.
