Bad Lab Report

Got up early as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  I already knew it was going to be bad because I go to Ciudad Acuña for my labs and had seen the results.  I keep a daily log of my blood pressure readings.  In a nutshell, my cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and glucose levels are all elevated and need to be addressed.

I have had high levels of cholesterol all my adult life and high blood pressure runs in my family. She gave me the option of trying to lower my cholesterol on my own or with medication and frankly I am tired of trying to reign it in alone so asked to be put on medication.

She doubled my BP dosage from 50 mg to 100 mg and while my A1C has gone up it does not warrant medication yet. I also have to exercise...that is easier said than done :-(

The heat has been stifling it got to 101 with a heat index of 109 degrees.

It was so hot I did not stop to fill-up...perhaps I should have since with this Iran drama prices certainly are going to increase.  Going prices in Del Rio today...

At HEB

At Exxon...

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
