Just Touching Base

               

 
So much has happened this last month and I just haven't posted any of it.
Brandon had his school field trip and I don't go to these function because Brandon would be a handful with me around,so I stayed home.  They went to Sammy Baker National Park.  Seems Brandon had a great time and was walking threw the creeks his shoes were all wet  and he stopped at the gift shop and got himself a red glitter slinky.   Of course I had to play with it when he got home. When I was a kid they were made of the silver metal now they are made of plastic.....I guess the metal ones are dangerous now.
  Another reason I didn't go I have been having problems with my blood pressure  to the point I developed edema.  That's were your body starts retaining water and my feet and legs really got swollen. To the point I couldn't get any shoes on. Yes stubborn me didn't want to go to the doctors because I still don't have any medical insurance, but when I was getting to the point I couldn't walk because of it .....I went.  The doctor was ready to kill me when they took my bp I was 180 over 110. She put me on medication for my bp and it has a water pill with it to reduce the swelling. Glad to  say my bp this morning was 198 over 98 and the swelling has gone down a lot. Not all the way but I can walk and wear shoes so were getting there.
 I finally got my hearing date for my disability it's  June 14 and have a pre hearing consultation with my lawyer on June 1 to make sure we have everything in order.  We'll see how it goes this time. Ok well I'm done for now need to eat breakfast have a great day all. Diane
