The doctor told me I will be Dead in a year...

[nefertiti]

I finally broke down today and went to the doctor to get some meds for this sinus infection.

Going through all of the usual tests she takes my blood pressure.

All she says is "wow". Tries the other arm, this time silence, then "excuse me" with a solemn look on her face.

Comes back with another doctor who takes me for chest xrays, straps me up to an ekg and wants me to fill a cup.

Apparently, my BP meds aren't doing their job. 190/154

So I got new meds, have to quit drinking, change my diet to try and get it under control or she said I would be dead within a year.

I love doctors. To top it off my back is all tweaked out again and my arms are getting tingles and going numb. Good times.

My boyfriend was told almost exactly a year ago that unless the heart meds he was getting put on worked magic, he had a few months at best.

Thankfully they are working that magic, he made some lifestyle changes, and the deterioration of his heart has stalled for now.

These things make you look at life in a new light. Do what you need to take care of yourself, each day is too precious to waste.

dood MM, read the K message I sent you... don't be a bad bro about this, really you have been a helluva stand up guy.

That sucks.

We can still go shooting, just have to lay off on the drunken debauchery.

Shooting sounds good.

We can drink cranberry juice and make fun of people then.

Cheers,

Oh man. This makes me sad. Please take good care of yourself. I want you to live to be a happy old man.

My blood pressure stays so low that the doctors marvel that I can walk around conscious...lol. I should technically be in shock all the time.
