After struggling for THREE...YEA, COUNT EM' THREE YEARS WITH CONSTANT STRESS RELATED HYPERTENSION...

I go to my doc/nurse practicioner today (my friend)and get checked out for the crud I have come down with...

And MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS DROPPED APPROXIMATELY 23 POINTS systolic and 8 POINTS DIASTOLIC!

I am NOW NORMAL.!!!!

Well sort of... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but that's beside the point.

Bad news is...I have mild case also of walking pneumonia...luckily I've been doing right thing since sunday and except for being on antibiotic, was treating my symptoms effectively. Nat was impressed!

Ordered off work one more day.

Guess that means I am gonna post more...the boredom has already set in!

So here goes...another 10 lbs maybe (seven constant pounds off this year so far) and we'll see about the BP! She said that the additional weight loss, plus herbal antistress stuff, plus exercise is working like a charm!

So if anybody out there is still dealing with stress that is piling up from a WS, xWS or a D, just know you gotta take care of yourself b/c stress will wear and tear on your body...!!!!

Take good care of yourself.

I am off to make some hot green tea for son and I. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
