Everything went great. My blood pressure is good and all my blood work came back good. I have to go back in six months for a follow up. He was quite impressed with how well I am doing since I first went to see him four months ago. There is a big improvement in all my numbers so he said whatever I am doing to keep doing it because it is working.
This has definitely been a wake up call for me. You can't take your health for granted. I have been doing pretty good managing my stress levels which was a big thing for me. Now that the snow is gone and the weather is nicer I can hit the nature trails which I love and it always makes me feel so much better.

I saw a really beautiful hiking spot about an hour and a half from me on Facebook today that I want to go to this summer. My dad worked in a nursing home that full of elderly patients with Alzheimer's and dementia. He developed very high blood pressure and had to be put on medication. I worked there two years and nearly had a nervous breakdown and had to quit so I can understand the pressure he went through as his job as a nurse was a lot tougher then mine and he worked there over 10 years.

That sounds like a very stressful job. I can see why he had high blood pressure.

So it is good news for you then.
Walking is the only thing that calms me down too or dancing around to any kind of music that gets me up and moving.
See if you can get out now the Snow is clearing then and feel that Sunshine if its there.

That is great I dont know about you but I always feel so much better whenever I get a good report from the doctors. I went for a check up last week and my blood presure is down finally. He was happy because it was so dangerously high he asked about any changes I said yeah we moved and its warmer out,lol
