Plain weave gamp
Today’s progress has once again been slow. 🙁 Wound three pastel warps and got one of them onto the Fanny and finally managed to get the plain weave gamp woven. I expect to weave the twill tonight while Doug is out visiting his buddy.
While I’ve done nothing about the two Mountains on my job list, I did tackle a separate issue that had been plaguing me. Unfortunately my blood pressure shot through the roof doing it, but at least it is now dealt with and not festering at the back of my mind. And for that I feel relieved. 🙂
I reviewed my blood pressure readings and made an interesting discovery. My bp settled down in June with readings that were not only good, but even a little on the low side. They shot up in September and have been very irratic since then.
In June I switched from Ezetrol to Niacin for cholesterol and in September I stopped taking the diuretic. When I reviewed the dates when my bp settled down and went ballistic again, I realized that in June I had also started taking a nutritional supplement, and in September I ran out of my supply and stopped taking it.
Ding!
So rather than try and change my medication again, I’m going to ask my doctor if we can wait until I can get another supply of the supplement to give that a go and see if it is the missing piece of the puzzle…………
The downside is, of course, the fact that nutritional supplements aren’t covered by my medical insurance while pills are. 🙁 We’ll see what the dr says on Wed. when I go in to get my Rx’s renewed. I’m sure he’ll have words about my bp readings, especially the one this afternoon when my bp really went ballistic. 🙁 I hate being such a ‘fragile flower’! :P~
I’m also hoping that getting my bp settled again will mean I’ll feel more settled in my own skin and once more feel like working.
