I started on my new BP med today. Too early for results but I hope it reduces my heart rate some. 120 bpm is a bit too high. I'm still aggavated that I had to change from altace and labetalol a year...

I am now finished with prednisone...for now. Each time it seems that the dosage gets higher and the the taper period gets longer. I'm going to do my best to avoid any need of it for the foreseeable...

Over the weekend my wife and I went to a local Italian restaurant where we were giving a going away dinner for a couple who are old friends of ours. We invited all of their other friends to join us....

I'm a little confused. My PF's are at my personal best but I feel like ...well, you don't want to know what I feel like. Suffice it to say that I have had better days. In the words of th great...

I have been busy watching the extraordinary athletes in the Olympics for the last few days. They have displayed skills that I can only dream of.  It's nice that the world has decided to put on this...

I seem to be on a roll. In the last week I have received messages here on DS that extol my many virtues. Last week a widow in Africa sent me a message that she was dying and needed me to manage her...

We had another incident with that silly sparrow being in the house. Fortunately my son was there and he pursued the bird until it went back out through the door. I was wondering why this bird kept...

The last couple of days I have been a bit under the weather. Today I am feeling pretty much OK. I almost had to return to the ER yesterday but things started to get better and have improved steadily...

Since the heat was so intolerable today, I stayed inside in the AC and resolved to have a quiet day. I should know by now not to resolve anything. Again a minor "emergency" popped up in the house....

I am wondering if perhaps fate is fooling with me. I am feeling terrific. My PF's are higher than they have been in months. My numbers are so far into the green tht it would make Al Gore proud. Now...

A good friend of mine invited my wife and I to a retirement party for his wife. She was a postal inspector and had reached retirement age. My friend and I had played baseball and softball together...

Normally I try to remain fairly upbeat but sometimes I do get just a bit frustrated. Today when I went for my CT scan I wound up being pushed around in a wheel chair. When I was registering for the...

As days go, today was sort of ho hum. I don't have any major gripes but I don't have the euphoria of yesterday either. It was not bad. I am finally down into the 35 mg area of prednisone so that's...

I am feeling great today. If this is a prednisone high, I'll take it. I'm breathing easy, energetic, and upbeat. Simply stated, I feel like me. This high sure took it's time getting here this time. 8...

Well, I'm up. (Ta Da!)  This is the second time this morning that I can say that. Earlier (and I do mean early) I was up for about an hour. While on my meds sleep comes when it will. I do get about...
