Blood Pressure Update

So on Friday I went to my appointment after having a quiet morning at home. I had to have another urine test which came back normal which is good. My blood pressure test was still up though so I had to sit and wait for 15 mins before having another test. Rhonda is really lovely. She was just very casual in her discussions and very positive. She gave me another blood pressure test which came back again high. (I really should note down the bp results, but as it doesn't make sense to me, I don't remember the numbers). Dr sent me for a blood test to make sure that the high blood pressure isn't a sign of something more going on inside me. I returned to the dr and waited again. Rhonda was going to give me another bp test but instead Booker came and spoke with me. As the results are being consistent he will just check my bp again next week at Wednesday's appointment. I asked if it was ok for me to still go to work next week and he said that is should be fine, especially when I told him it will mostly be team teaching so I can take it easier. After a couple of hours Rhonda called me up and told me that my blood tests came back normal so that was a very positive thing.

I called up Lyn to fill her in and she was again very supportive. She said I don't have to stay for staff meeting on Monday. Monday is going to be a planning day for my new replacement (Mel) and I which will be nice. Tuesday will be Grandparents' Day so that will be a bit more active but should be ok. Wednesday is another appointment and then on class from recess, team teaching. Thursday is team teaching and Friday is team teaching and my last day! So it should be a good week. Lyn is happy for me to come in late any days and leave early if I need to. I don't think I will do that but it is nice to know I have the option. When I thanked her for being so supportive and understanding she was very sweet and said that this is one baby she is looking forward to having cuddles with. Very sweet.

So yay that most things are good and I am trying to be good and not do too much each day.
