Steve took Matthew to drive at the high school. Joshua rides his bike.

I wasn't feeling too good when I got home from Matthew's Latin class. Matthew got my cuff and said “Take your blood pressure.” (I haven't been, because my new doc said I was taking it too often.) So I did and it was 96/64. Not too bad, but I'm not used to it being that low so it was making me feel really exhausted.

I called the doctor's office and they took me off another pill! That leaves me on just one pill and the patch. I personally believe it's this stronger patch that did the trick and the pills aren't doing anything. Nothing changed till they put me on this double strength patch.

The pill they took me off of was making my feet turn red and swell...I looked like I had sausages for toes (and you know how vain I am about my feet...I was mortified!) So I'm pretty happy and hope my pressure stays down. Well, mostly at least...I expect I'll still have spikes.

Also, he referred me to an endocrinologist.

Good you’re going to see a specialist! I hope he or she will be able to figure out what’s up!
