May 15-17, 2023

15th – Today was a good day. No real issues. Was able to get out to one of E’s baseball games again – this time with the smaller tank and a cart to carry chairs in.

16th – Felt like crap for a few hours today – blood pressure was high 160s/100s. went ahead and took my migraine medicine again today – felt better within the hour. Not sure if I needed to take the medications because it had been a few days or if the high blood pressure was from what I ate for lunch. I had broccoli but it was in a sauce that had soy sauce in it – maybe too much sodium?? Guess I will start paying closer attention.

17th – Overall, a good day. Starting to get nervous for my appointments tomorrow and Friday. I want to hear wonderful, great news but the reality of that is pretty slim I fear after everything I’ve been reading – which is a huge mistake, but I can’t help it. I just need to keep reminding myself to F.R.O.G. Praying that He provides the answers….well, I know He has the answers – maybe it’s more like praying He gives me the answers I WANT if I’m being honest.

My husband and I also “talked” some today. We haven’t really said much about the severity, not sure either of us want to go there just yet – holding out hope that that conversation is many years down the road. Not sure our conversation really accomplished much but at least the door is now cracked open.
