Been busy socially lately, and

Been busy socially lately, and around the house. Yesterday I was supposed to have a drs appt. and Dean got off of work early to watch Caleb. We got there and she asks me who was I supposed to see and what time and if I called after hours to schedule the appt. I told her everything and that I had called during the day not after hours. She looks and tells me my appt was scheduled for May 28 at 4 pm. Someone screwed up. There wasnt a dr who could see me then so we left. Dean said I should have explained that I was out of blood pressure medicine and I told him I did. They didnt really care. So my next appt is now for next Thursday evening. Until then I wont be taking my blood pressure medicine for many different reasons, and I was ok with that until everyone starting saying how dangerous it is to stop it suddenly. I have been feeling achy and tired and having horrible headaches so I know that that is probably not a good thing. I am sure I will be fine, I am going to up my water intake and cut all salt from my diet in aids of helping but those are things I should be doing anyway!

Caleb is growing like a weed, physically and mentally. He repeats a lot of what we say and is now forming small sentences. He amazes me each day. He’s been going down for a nap earlier and earlier, I think he would sleep longer in the morning if we didnt have to get up to take Dean to work. So I dont think he gets enough sleep at night and these last few nights he’s spent coughing all through the night so I dont think he’s been getting any restful sleep. Other than that he’s doing great. If I didnt feel so bad I’d say he’s been wonderful, but when I feel bad it’s hard to deal with him when he’s not listening to us. But thats my own fault not his, he cant help it that I am sick and not up to caring for him. Despite not feeling well myself I have pushed myself to be very efficient and are getting lots done. My new favorite tasks is mowing the yard. I think its more because I know if I can do it during the day than that will give Dean more time on the weekends or evenings since he wont have to deal with it. so I mow as much as I can w/ Caleb playing out back w/ me mowing and then finish up the rest during his nap time. It’s worked quite well these last two weeks. But I hate how quickly it grows back in!

Well I’m procrastinating cleaning up our lunch mess and Caleb is already napping so I better get to work while I have the time.

    I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure blood pressure medicine isn’t a medication that you have to wean yourself off of. I was on it for several months and my doctor told me it was to stop it, without weaning. Of course, everyone might be different; not sure!
