Doctor
I have been having high blood pressure for a while now and for the past week, chest pains have been happening too. I'm not one that runs to the doctor for every little thing...in fact, I practically have to have someone make me go! But my family insisted that I go and have it checked out. I saw Dr. Pratt. He's really nice. Lynsi is Dr. Carter's nurse and they work in the same 'pod' as Dr. Pratt, so they are pretty close. She knew I was there, so she came and got me from the waiting room and we were passing the scale and she told me to get on and I said, no, I'm skipping this part.....and she said no, I wasn't!! I told her that the last time I was here, I got to skip it, but she said, no I was not skipping this part!! She made me get on it! I think I want another nurse next time that won't be so bossy and will let me be in charge!! Anyway, back to the Dr. visit. He said that he didn't think I was having a heart attack, but wanted to put me on blood pressure meds and do an EKG. So he found out from the EKG that my heart is skipping a beat. He didn't want to alarm me but said that he wanted me to have it checked out by a cardiologist. So I guess that is my next step. I'm sure it's nothing, but it will be good to find out for sure. Those meds he gave me.......I kinda feel like I'm in a daze.....blurry vision, headache.....and just a blah feeling. Everyone that has taken these meds before tells me that I'll feel like this for a little while, but it will go away some day.

Okay, friend...it's time to take care of yourself. You have too much life ahead to let this get in the way. Our grandkids need us.
