I am determined not to be late for my doctor's appointment. I even left time to scrape the frost from the car windows and warm the car before heading out. Last night I made sure the gas tank was full. Traffic is not bad despite the brilliant sun blinding us over every rise and around every corner. East is not the ideal direction to be heading at 7 AM these days.
Five minutes before my appointment, I park at Clinton Crossings and make my way to the second floor - using the stairs, thank you very much! I check in and am called right back. They are so punctual here. I love it. Usually, I dread the taking of vitals. Those automatic blood pressure cuffs squeeze my arms so tightly my fingers turn purple. Here, they take your blood pressure manually and it is not painful. How kind.
Surprise! My blood pressure is an amazing 120 over 70 - the best it has been in some long time. I rack my brain to identify a reason. Hey - maybe I am just getting better! Overall the exam was encouraging. We are checking levels to see if there is something that can be done about the tiredness, but otherwise, her suggestion is that I get back to exercising on a regular basis, and something more than just walking the dog. That and lose a bit more weight.
How nice to have a positive report for a change!
