Gorgeous Gorge - April

 I tossed and turned during the night.  Was at the Clinic this morning as they opened their doors.  Time for my annual physical.  I don't know why I get so worked up about it.  Well ... I do know.  My blood pressure shoots up when they take it and the nurse looks at me concerned that I'm going to blow a gasket.  Doc's before started upping my blood pressure medicine every time I had a physical.  This doc allows me to take my pressure at home,  write the readings out on a card, and bring them in for her records.   My labs were good - better than last year.  She explained that even though my bone density is fine, it wouldn't hurt to start taking extra Vitamin D.  I assume she thinks I'll make it for another year since she reminded me that I should stop at the desk on the way out to set up a date for a physical for next year.

The same thing happens to my friend with blood pressure. He calls it "white coat syndrome". -Olivia
