I hope they trial him on a new blood pressure medication. It went from severely high to perfect on this recent one.
My sister called me to simply say hello, but I started a rant about our dad. I felt a little bad in the end, but both siblings agree with me 100%. I asked Sis to go out to lunch sometime soon where we'll promise not to say a word about Dad.
On a lighter side, my sock drawer again has about 100 socks, all with no matches. I must empty my dirty clothes basket and clean the stuff. Usually I only wash the top contents. Even if all is clean, probably only 50 will find their mates. Where the other 50 lonely souls are is a mystery. I once wrote a funny poetic story about this in my blog. Are they somewhere in a different world, with a favorite black jacket and several other lost items? If so, I hope it's a fun and happening place! In the meantime, I have sometimes resorted to wearing mismatches. It's OK with me.

My dad is on high blood pressure medication, and a lot of them he's tried have had weird side effects like that. I'm obviously not a doctor, but I wouldn't be surprised if the blood pressure medication is doing that to your husband.
Anyway, good luck with the socks! I only buy Hanes black ankle socks from Target, and Target hasn't changed things in years, which means my socks always match. I used to buy all sorts of socks, though, and I would end up with a bunch of them that didn't match. Drove me bonkers! The only downside is that the Hanes socks get holes in them quickly -- or at least they do for me because I pace a lot.
