This week's bean sale at Bodhi Leaf is from the farm next to San Jose, the stellar bean a couple years ago. 5 pounds on order [emoji3]
Thank you, @FranC. One of the things I like about the Internet is that it's mostly okay to gatecrash, but I always feel presumptuous when I do.
Please don't. You are welcome here
Zazie, they are all friendly folks here and always happy to see new faces here
LD, I had to take treadmill stress test last year. I failed it and had my heart catheterized. It was scary as hell but it ended up being a fluke. My heart is healthy.
I wore a heart monitor for 3 days years ago. It wasn’t bad at all. Hang in there. We are all rooting for you.
Bov, of course you were meant to be a dog mama again! You are so very good at it. Bella is a very lucky girl. Can’t wait to see more pictures once she arrives home.

So sorry! I am all thumbs and posting here from my phone lol my disagree was supposed to be a like.
I would never disagree or dislike a post. Sorry for the scare!
I feel much better now. Nothing like a red x to make one feel like a schoolkid having a bad day again.
As I'd suspected I've lost 2.5 inches over the years...Doc said 6 foot 1/2 inch...185 fully clothed....I'm really not wanting a cauterization.......Fingers crossed on that one...They say it's needed I'm doing it though.....Dang old BP meds were $80 for a month supply....They seem to help and I suspect will help more once in my system good....Trust this whole time I've been reading along...with the falling out....nicotine withdrawals....caught a cold on top of that....well I just haven't felt like adding much...Cold is better and I hope to sleep a full night tonight...
No worries if it comes to catherization, LD. They go in through the arm and was a pretty easy procedure. Didn’t take long at all.
Did you mention to them that you have no insurance? Sometimes there are less expensive alternatives. May be worth asking them.
My husband is on an expensive bp med only because it was the only one he could tolerate. I was on an inexpensive bp med. Lost weight and taken off it.
Now, even with the lost weight, my bp is climbing again. I have to monitor at home but suspect I will need to go back on one soon.
Hang in there. I know that it is scary not knowing what is going on. It will all work out though.

LD, when you get chance please tell me name of your bp med. I would bet $ that I can show you how to get at low or no cost. I have helped many people do this and am pretty good at it.
Salem I'll let you know what the meds are...Another night of little rest due to sinus drainage when laying down...Can't get up due too an unconscious and snoring Spike.....Ya'll try and stay warm....I'm in and resting up for the stress test....
Welcome @Zazie !!
I hear yall on the prices of prescriptions! If I didn't have Medicaid, I'd be in a world of hurt. I'm on 2 BP meds, 2 Diabetes meds, GERD med...yeah, I know. Losing 35lbs and quitting smoking didn't do squat for my BP, but helped me get my blood sugar under control.
Dee, as always, I'm sending love and prayers.
Same for you, Salem! I know how hard your Mom's care is on you

Welcome Zazie!
Just thinking of you all and thought I’d let you know!
We are about to head into sub zero temps and some winds for a bit here. Not planning to go anywhere unless I absolutely have to! Brrrrrr!
Huggerzzz

Wind is picking up here and we're looking at -9 for tonight.No plans on setting foot outdoors.
I've been on amlodipine 5mg for years, BP has stayed quite good.

We're at a sultry 0F right now, but it's a dry cold, not so bad [emoji3]
I will do a fire at home tomorrow, with pan of water on top of the wood stove The humidity is crazy low, 10% outside and not much higher inside.
