Dee Tee prayers still coming that way for you.

Yeah it always seems to be something doesn't it.

I feel for you sweetie.

Seems they could give you good news and hold off on the bad for a while.
Yeah, I know it doesn't work that way.

But it does seem like you have very good reason for your BP to be up.  I'm
touchy about that one myself though.  Mine isn't terrible high, usually
right on 140/90 but the least little thing makes it shoot higher, so I'm on
the med.

Keep working on the diet with the blood sugar numbers.  The more you can
control that with diet and exercise the better anyway.  If you need meds to
help, fine.

Glad the tube is gone.  Its hard to have to look at it all the time and
still feel light and free and positive and all the good things that matter.

Oh Dee Tee,,, I just hate to say this.  Please do not be too hasty about
starting medicine especially the kind you can not stop once they are
started.   High blood pressure is serious,,, of coarse its all about how
high.   If your sugar reading is an example of what is taking place,,,, 116
is not that bad.   Diet,,, and no sweets and starches and lets see what
takes place later.
    Your body has been through a big shock.   Lets give it a chance to
settle down.   No getting over heated about anything.   No getting over
tired.   Save the arguments until later.   Cool out,,,, smooth out,,,,
rest,,, please....

so it seems, but right now getting the tube out and no more chemo
definitely needs celebrating.

DeeTee!!!!!I am going to go ahead and do a Happy Dance here as the Big
News...is You are doing Great!!!and you don't see your Oncologist for 3
Months...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank You, God for answering our prayers!!!!
YES!!!!
Now it would seem that since you have good news..maybe your blood pressure
will come down and if not, your doctor is watching and knows BEST...And
maybe with Diet you can control your blood sugar...Your body is probably in
REAL SHOCK with all that it has been through...So hopefully as things settle
down..everything else will too...

heehee, my first thought was that they don't know what a dangerous thing it
is to cut DeeTee loose!  And of course, I am overjoyed and delighted that you
are free for a while and I'm keeping the prayers coming for you to stay
cancer-free.

Hopefully, that's all a part of your body having been through so much trauma
over the past months.  Take good care of yourself and as you work back into
health, perhaps you can get rid of any extra pills they want you on for now.

(((((((((((DeeTee)))))))))))) hugs of joy!

I had the tube taken out of my arm yesterday and today, I saw the
oncologist. I'm doing very well. The chemo is finished and I don't have to
go to them again for three whole months. Yipeee!

****{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{happy dancing!!!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}  all right!!!!

On the other hand, my PCP has found that I am having blood pressure and
blood sugar issues. Sigh. I am taking both three times a day and the results
are not too good. It looks as though they may be adding a blood pressure
medication to my cocktail and possibly a diagnosis of diabetes. I have been
trying to be good to get the numbers down so that diet alone will suffice.
No luck so far. My fasting blood sugar readings have been 116ish and higher.
I may get away with just pre-diabetes, but my doctors are pretty aggressive
about disease so we'll have to wait until next week when she sees the
results of the 3X day monitoring.

****breathe, breathe, breathe.   sweetie, for your blood pressure--breathe
in to a count of 4; hold breath to a count of 7; release breath to a count
of 8.  do that 4 times in a row, for a total of 1 min. 15 seconds.  do that
4 times a day for a total of 5 minutes per day, for all 4 times inclusive.
that should help lower your blood pressure.  mine was like 185/115 when
butch was so ill.  i'm now down to 117/76 on a regular basis, with no meds
(well, except for the bp spikes because of broken bones and that injury
pain).  that's the only thing i did to get my bp back down.  it really can
help.

I guess it never really ends, does it?

***(((((((((((((((((deetee)))))))))))))))) it can and will get better.  i
insist!
