OT: May Chit Chat

[Howie]

I've been awake all night as is usual when I have a doctor's appointment. I've been drinking beer all night, but have switched to coffee to wake me up.

I've been waiting to see him to hopefully get something to address these seizures, although I've been without them all day yesterday, and
tonight.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Talks about being too aggressive in lowering bp in seniors increases fall risk.

Clucking Hen Alert!

Drinking beer all night (with caffeine as a chaser) is not the best preparation for a doctor's visit about seizures and blood pressure.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing...but didn't bother to post. Too late now...he's probably at the doctor's office. I'm waiting for the doctor to tell him to stop drinking entirely because alcohol and some meds just don't mix very well.

[agate]

I'm glad you said that, ANN. Beer all night doesn't sound very moderate but what do I know?

[Sunshine]

You know Howie throws out those grenades just to get the hens riled up, right?

[agate]

You beat me to it, Sunshine! I think he was setting us up, trying to start a big ruckus in the barnyard.

[stillstANNding]

I think he drank beer all night.

Hens gotta cluck!

[agate]

Not even Howie would do such a thing. He's pulling all of the chicken legs around here. Some of us will be as mad as wet hens about it but that's how he's taking care of the mother hen problem.

That's my theory anyway.

His appointment was 9 hours ago. Hope he is okay....I see he thanked recently. So I guess he made it home. They didn’t commit him ;)

They had to send him home. That car would rust without him and be a neighborhood eyesore. And Sam would set up terrible yowl.

[Howie]

Cluck, cluck, step aside will you, the rooster is coming through!!!

Okay, Agate is right, I drank beer all night, then switched to coffee a few hours before it was time to go. And just so you know, I don't have a single beer in the house, but am thinking about going soon.

I am just getting up from a nap. I was so tired from not sleeping when I should have. But I never can sleep when I have to be somewhere the next day. I don't have an alarm clock, and was afraid I would sleep through the time I had to leave, so I stayed up all night.

Okay, my blood pressure. It was 160/100. Not great, but he didn't add any more meds. I told him about the seizures. I think because I didn't have one yesterday, and so far today, he didn't want to start another med.

So that's how it went. I feel tired, but relieved it's over. I see him again next month to see if anything has changed. So that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

It was ANN who believed you did that. I was among those who were betting that you wouldn't have done that.

Glad that your BP went down. If you keep using the BP monitor, you might be able to figure out what makes it go higher.

[stillstANNding]

Now he needs an alarm clock.

[Howie]

I had one set on the computer, but didn't trust it, so I just stayed up.
