The second checks...

.

.

Blood pressure is 136/84, with a pulse of 60?  Strange.  I don't mind the bp, that is within my mark.  Strange that it would go up after medicine?  But, okay.  No, haven't had coffee yet, so that isn't it.  Just water.  I decided to check blood sugar, to see if the flavored carbonated water is affecting blood sugar.  It is 164, exactly what it was at fasting check.  So... that is good, if just one data point.

It looks like what I am doing is helping.  Cutting medicine, so far, looks to be improving my condition.  Will the bp continue to rise?  Will the symptoms diminish further?  Time will tell.  It will take days, or a week, to find out.  As suggested, I will only cut medicine further if blood pressure drops.  And, if if blood pressure rises over the target of 140/90, then I'll add some back in.

Still, so far, looking good.  Next, to have something to eat.  Just burgers, for now.  Out of cheese?  Sliced, but I do have gorgonzola and blue.  That would be okay.  As well, now I can have coffee.  The water is heating.  Probably ready?  I'll find out.

My body is cold.  The house is warm, it is me.  Frustrating.

After food, and coffee, I'll wash the freezertop.  Then hit dishes.  I need to pull more meat out, for the week.  But, with steaks?  I think I'll keep those in the freezer, pulling them just as I used them.  That trick really worked well.  It does take longer to cook them, but they are better.  Still, I need some of them in the smaller freezer, so they are easier to get at.

Ah, and it sounds like packages have arrived!  I always love it when things show up.  We'll see about today.  I'm hoping to do better, and more.  Good day, and... almost good afternoon... by my time.  Get to it, if you can.  Lord knows, I am going to try.  Hoping the painkillers arrives.  The stuff I tried really... didn't do anything.  Later.

Oh, numb little bug indeed.  We'll see if diet and medicinal reductions will help.  Gosh, I sure hope so.
