Change
We all know how much I hate change but last week did not go the way I had planned and today I find myself trying to create change in my life....
A big health scare last week with my blood pressure being dangerously high which led to my new dr saying that I had a choice of going to the hospital or making a bee line for new meds and home in bed with some monitoring for a few days until my blood pressure was in a safe range. So, I now have blood pressure meds, a new diagnosis of being diabetic and lots of other stuff out of normal limits that need to be addressed once the other things get manageble. She said that lots of this is genetics but it also has a lot to do with stress in my life. I now have to get serious about weight loss, excersise and reducing stress...Honestly, I knew that I was not in a good place health wise and I don't think I really cared. I knew that I owed it to my kids to start taking better care of myself and to Lana who has really loved me through some very dark times.
I took off this weekend and spent it with friends and outside and tried to just relax and be without stress knowing the universe would take care of me. Today, I started trying to take better care of me. I have a new way of eating, lots of new meds that seem super ridiculous. My new Dr. is open to balancing prescription meds with natural remedies, vitamins & supplements. Exercise is going to become part of my daily routine. Here comes more change...
