Going to the Dr.

This afternoon I'm headed off to the Dr's office for a check up. I think mainly to check my incision and make sure it's healing properly (it looks great, well as great as a 6 inch bikini cut can look) haha. I know she is going to ask me if I have questions, I pray I will have the clarity in that moment to ask the ones I do have. I also hope I won't be bawling the whole time. It's just when people are so nice, like my Dr. is I cry more! Lol, I've ALWAYS been like that. I know it doesn't matter if I cry, I'd just like to get my questions out clearly! Ryan can't go to my appt. with me because we refinanced our house to a much better interest rate (can I get an Amen on saving money?!) and he has to close on the house today. While I was in the hospital he got Power of Attorney for me so he could do the closing so I wouldn't have to sit for so long and sign papers... obviously I'm very grateful for that, but wish he could go with me too... My mom is picking me up and then B at pre-school and we're going to go have lunch and B has a gift card for Toys R Us, so if time allows before my appt. maybe he can go use that. I have a lot I would like to do while in Evansville, but this past weekend I tried fitting in a bunch of stuff and ended up wearing myself out... It's hard for me to remember I'm still recovering from being so sick, when I physically feel good! After today I should be able to drive again! I'm so glad about that. The past few days my blood pressure has started really staying down. My top number is now normal (running about 120), not really normal for me, but normal nonetheless! My bottom no. has gotten down to as low as 81! It's been running between 85-90 consistently though. It's still high, but way better than in the hundreds it was running sooo! Hopefully, it will go back to being completely normal here soon! Well, I better go get ready, please pray that I get only good news at the dr. today! I'll update if I find out anything important! :)

Thank you all for your continued prayers, we can feel them. LOVE YOU ALL.

I'll be thinking about you and I'm sure you'll have nothing but good news. Who is your doctor? Trust me...you'll cry...but it's ok and the doctor along w/the staff and nurses completely understand. It's all part of the healing. Take care and have fun in Evansville!!

Busy day! Its hard to think about taking it easy when you feel good, and AMEN that you're feeling good! I have been wondering, and figured you'd give us an update soon. Hope your apt went well and you were able to do a little something fun there. Ayla & I actually just got back from visiting friends there too

I hope the doctor gives you GREAT news! And I am so glad your BP in much better. I know the normal is like 120/80-70 but I always run lower than that too. Don't be afraid to ask the doctor your questions and take it easy miss!! Have fun in E-Ville!!
