Leveling off

So Rich's BP has been going back down, in fact yesterday it was 117/80-ish. It is nice, a mystery, but nice. Either his diuretic took over six weeks to kick in or his body is just normalizing on its own.

I have been feeling better--kind of. My neurological symptoms have been very low. That means that I can push a shopping cart and not have to use my elbows when I get to the parking lot because of the vibrations. They are still there, just at a livable (sometimes ignorable) level. My migraines are going in spurts now. I went for a while without one, then last week I had one every afternoon (7 days straight). This week, though, just one--I get happy about those kinds of things, crazy!

My sleeping has been irregular, and I will blame my increased migraines on that for the time being. The other alternative is that my current medication is losing it's effectiveness...which it can after about nine weeks, and I started this one the first week of January. But I refuse to consider that as a possibility yet.

At least the only other health concern we have had lately is a series of colds. It is nice to deal with ordinary sickness every once in a while. Refreshing really, in comparison with the other things we have been living with.

On a whole, I think we are leveling off. That is a good thing.
