Doctors ? I don't know !

I've been having a heaviness in my chest, especially if I got over tired or if I had to bend over to pick up something from the floor, or if I bent down to pet our little dog Petie. I would feel like I couldn't catch my breath. So, I decided that I better make an appointment with the cardiologist that Al has gone to and I've seen him a couple of times too in the past several years.

When I called a couple of weeks ago, they set up an appointment for Friday, May 30th
at 4:15PM. When Al and I got there, I signed in and we sat down and waited for over half an hour. Then I heard someone call my name and I thought it was time to see the doctor. Instead, when I got to the door, the girl in the office told me that the doctor was not there. She wanted to reschedule an appointment for me and I, being very upset said, "No, I'll call at another time".

Yeah, don't hold your breath! There is NO WAY that I will ever go to see him again. The very same thing happened to Tony several months ago with the same doctor.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL !!!!!

A wonderful weekend

Saturday morning on May 24th at 3:00am our dear son Steve came up from San Diego with his daughters Stefani, Alyssa and her husband Craig and their adorable little puppy "Bella". What a long and trying trip that had to be for them. Al and I stayed up waiting for their arrival. How wonderful to see them, it's been a long while since we saw them last.

After we all got some rest, Steve took us all out for breakfast at the"Black Bear" Restaurant here in Tulare. It was GREAT! That's Steve's favorite place to go every time he comes up here

I made Chicken soup for dinner and my "Graham cracker banana cream cake". Tony and Lucy came too and we all had a nice time visiting together.

Then on Sunday, we all gathered at Tony and Lucy's house and Lucy had all kinds of different things for a GREAT lunch. Then we spent the afternoon and evening visiting with each other. So nice to have everyone together, just wish Andrea and Chris could have been with us.

Later that evening Steve started giving everyone a haircut, including me and later Casey and Steven came with their little son along with Greg and Shelly. After all the haircuts, Steve cut little William's hair. He never moved or fussed, How cute!

We came back home later, Steve and the kids got the car all packed and they left for home at around 9:30PM

Steve called when they arrived home at 1:00AM. So wonderful to have them all here!!!

Medical stress

It's been a long while since I've blogged, sooo where do I start ?

OH YES, I KNOW!

A few weeks ago I went to my Doctor for a check up. He said my cholesterol and blood pressure were very high. He wrote out a couple of prescriptions which I had filled. I took them for about 3 or 4 days and eased off of them a little at a time. I was told by my niece about a product at the Vitamin Shoppe called ""CHOLEST OFF" and I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening with food and I also sent for an all natural capsule called "Blood Pressure Protect" and since taking that my blood pressure has been better than normal. We have a Blood Pressure Monitor, and I check mine every day. So now we'll see what my next reading will be at my next appointment
without taking any MEDS.
