Didn't sleep well last night, up before dawn. Today I have my gall bladder removed. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster the last few weeks.
It actually started about 3 weeks ago. I was supposed to have some teeth surgically removed. I went to my appointment and they hooked me up to do my blood pressure. They ended up doing about 6 readings because none were under 200/130. Needless to say, they did not pull my teeth and told me to call my doctor. This was on a Friday. I called my doctor and went to see him Monday. He immediately sent me to the E.R. where they did some tests, gave me some meds and kept me for 6 hours. Apparently, they didn't find anything in the tests because I never got a phone call. so, as of right now, we have no idea of what is causing my blood pressure to be so high. I have a follow up with my Dr. on the 15th.
This past week, I have been super nervous about my blood pressure. Not sure if the medicine is working. Also a little nervous about the surgery and feeling a little guilty because they scheduled it the day before my daughter's baby shower which I will not be able to attend now. I would have had them do it another time but that would have meant waiting another month and I have been dealing with this since Christmas. Needless to say, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Good luck - thinking of you. If they offer them, ask for the gallstones: you can then give them to our GP to show his other patients what they are and why they need to come out!
