8/52 Freedom

A cut hospital armband means I've been released. Yes, I was back in the hospital this week with toxic high blood pressure of 234/106. This has been an ongoing problem for me - I'll be fine for months or even years, then have an episode like this one.

All the doctors are perplexed about it and each time is more frightening for me than the last. My dad had a stroke after dealing with high blood pressure most of his life. Now I'm on three different medications and feeling the side effects...but I'm alive and relatively well...it's the little things that are sometimes the big things.
