Hello everyone and happy Monday; I just love Monday's so much. I hope everyone had a good day today; my day was alright a little stressing. Work was alright for the most part; a lot better than last Monday. I really think everyone is adapting to the remodeled office including patients. It wasn't a bad Monday; a little busy but that is to be expected since it is Monday.

M is having back problems so of course I am worrying about him. He has a previous back injury that required surgery and naturally my brain is thinking worse case scenario like it always does. They always say think the worse; my brain has no problem doing that. Doc ordered an x-ray which wasn't good so he is being sent to get an MRI to see what the damage is. The x-ray showed a few possible different issues so doc wants an MRI to be on the safe side and see what is going on. I really hope it's nothing and he just strained it working out or at work and he'll get better soon.

My Cardiologist visit went really well; my numbers are very good. My heart rate on the EKG was 89 and my blood pressure was perfectly normal. He is beyond thrilled with those numbers even going back my very long sheet of previous blood pressure and HR readings from either myself of from all those primary doc visits and man there is a huge huge difference in the numbers; going from 140-150 down to 89; not to mention I have managed to get out of the pre-hypertension range with my blood pressure it was 110/70 which it's been a while since I have seen my blood pressure that low; I guess there was that time it bottomed out and was beyond low but that is considered normal which means my current heart medication is working great and causing normal numbers.

He also ordered some lab work to see what my catecholamine levels are for the other issue he is managing, basically he wants to see how much adrenaline is currently in my blood and wants to check my cholesterol and triglycerides to see if that has changed at all since losing a bit of weight and eating healthy and kicking all soda and coffee out of my diet for the most part; every once in a while I'll have a Starbucks but it's no where near the rate I once drank it; instead I drink a lot more water and healthy types of tea; and best of all assuming nothing weird comes back in my lab work; I get to go to a month follows ups; since it's obvious the medication is working to lower my vitals which I am so happy about; don't get me wrong I really do like my Cardiologist but it's nice that I won't have to worry about seeing him biweekly and I can focus on something else; like M lol.

Hugs to everyone
