I've been joking around with the Wii and other stuff lately. No jokes this time. I have neglected something. Me.
Wednesday morning my blood pressure was off the chart. 206/117. I honestly thought that, after I get to work and settle down, it will get better. Nope. I felt worse about 11AM and my face felt tight under my eye on the left side. That scared me. I decided that maybe I should take the advice of all my friends and go to the doctor.
The nurse looks at me and says..."Kaye, I don't think I have to ask, but I will, what's the problem?" "I think my blood pressure is a little high". She knows that my idea of a little high is a lot high. It's been two years since I saw the doc. And yes, I never went back to get my medicine refilled, and yes, I know better. Both my grandfathers had heart problems and pressure problems, so yes, I know better.
YARM13YOL claims that she is only smart ONCE a day (yes there will be a post about it). If that is the case, Im using her excuse for being stupid and neglecting myself. If I'm only smart once a day, I use up all my smartness just getting out of bed.
Lets look back...
I crawled through a van that I thought was iced over, when really I just didn't unlock it;
I was making tea Monday night and macaroni at the same time. I dumped the boiling tea in the macaroni;
I told YARM13YOL to get her bath towel out of the refrigerator
I've put things in strange places at home and at work
and that my friends is just the tip of the iceberg.
I don't think that I need to state that I might be a little stressed.
I will be going back in a week. Dr. Jacobs says he'll come get me if I don't. I'm trying to be a good girl and try not to neglect ME anymore, which is easier said than done.

I think I need to go with you when you see Jumpin J. I will tell on you, since you aren't talking to me anymore. Will you still blog me?:) Notice the Bible verse of the day, nothing is concealed. HHHMMM. That relativity thing again. Still haven't received my adoption papers from Daddy Jimmy.
So sorry Kaye! Don't you want to grab the teenager and shake 'em? Tell them how no one told you when you were her age you would be putting up with all the junk.
Take the time for you. As hard as that is to do - try it. You may like it.
I am right there with you girl! I have had high blood pressure since high school! They don't know why...just say I don't deal with stress well! HMMMM...well, if I was stressed in high school I'm definitely stressed now a husband and 2 1/2 kids later! I have been on medicine since I was pregnant with Kole, but haven't been to a DR other than my OBGYN. When I have this baby and get things settled I AM going to go back to Weight Watchers and start doing some exercising...as bad as it sounds right now. I want to be here when my kids are grown...so I can spoil my grandkids and send them home! LOL!
