Bad news.

My mother's friend has had a major heart attack.  He took a few aspirin immediately, then called my mother.  Thankfully he didn't go all manly and refuse help.  Even so, after several surgical forms of intervention, he is in a seriously precarious condition.  I asked if she needed anything.  Prayers, I was told.  I can do that, and multiply that... if you would be willing to add a prayer or two.  His name is Tom.


He had been on high blood pressure medicine.  He weened himself from it, then maintained a healthy bp.  His blood pressure didn't spike during the heart attack.  I... yeah.  I'll try harder to take my meds.  If it's not as if I am being ornery, recalcitrant, stubborn.  I am simply not well functionally.  I'll try harder anyway.

I... was expecting her call.  And bad news.  This is, so far, better than expected.

I just took it.  I'll do a bp and blood sugar in an hour, then sleep.
