I'm of the high blood pressure category and had to change my lifestyle, diet, exercise in order to maintain it. No meds, the doctor doesn't want me to get on it yet.

I lo...Oh yeah, have a great First Ever Family Day! I love the idea but know it's sparked a lot of controversy here in Ontario....like the title (what is the definition of family? Could it be a single person with her cat?) and....not all people get it off....(the funniest most ironic is Canada Post who seem to always have it pretty sweet!) I wonder if there will be feuds as to who gets the kids in blended families where divorce is an issue? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm spending it with my husband (who has closed his home chiropractic office but is actually seeing an acute patient early in the morning) and my cats!<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a good one and rest up.Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-29114036210936651432008-02-17T11:51:00.000-05:002008-02-17T11:51:00.000-05:00Sorry you have to deqal with this as well as other...Sorry you have to deqal with this as well as other things. I so hear you, though! I've been diabetic for 40 years, and had a mild heart attack 2 years ago...I could barely feel it! I had an angioplasty with 1 stent put into an artery...and tons of meds too..metoprolol to regulate heart rate, lipitor (cholesterol), altace (BP) and blood thinners galore! It's just a part of my life now as well as trying to exercise, watch fat, sugar etc.! I do 7 needles/day sometimes and prick my finger 8 times/day to test sugar. It all is lousy, but in the big scheme, it can always be a lot worse...I'm still here to write this!<BR/>Good luck to you on the health front.Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-29777272024397469552008-02-17T08:43:00.000-05:002008-02-17T08:43:00.000-05:00Oh my that's scary!

But it's gotten much better over the years. <BR/><BR/>I just deal with things. I don't bother with doctors unless I have to and that is seldom, and I'm not on any meds. <BR/><BR/>I'll be 65 in four months and I'm still ticking along pretty well, but accept that I could die any day now. And I'm okay with that, it's been an interesting life and I don't want to get much older.<BR/><BR/>I know an old man that stopped taking his meds about six years ago, having decided that he was tired of fighting of life, and he is still ticking along.<BR/><BR/>I guess a lot of it is a crap shoot.
