but it doesn't feel like it. Just like when I worked. Yesterday a nurse visited to get me started on home visits for physical therapy again and nurse visits, etc. said she was going to be here at 10 am or thereafter . looked out my window and there she was at 9;15 am so told her I don't like being alert until around 10 at my earliest. I did get to liking her though cause she was very thorough. got me started back on blood pressure medicine in the mornings. but I just realized today, that means getting up before 10 am from here on. shes coming back tomorrow Sunday to check on me. then all next few weeks I have appointments, etc. I have been slowly getting around more into the kitchen for coffee, etc. but like I told daughter that does not mean I can do it every time. she did find a nice folding small wheel chair to take me around in yesterday after looking all over for one we can afford. most places had second hand ones for from 100 to 500 bucks. we could not afford that. finally she found one at Salvation Army for 25 bucks! that was just what we could afford. my biggest problem seems to be the fact that the blood pressure medicine causes me to loose control of bladder. like I can't stop running to bathroom for about 5 hours after I take it. yet I have to take it that is some of what is going on... Photo here is from my childhood home town of the market I went to for years in Portsmouth. how are you all?

I take blood pressure medication too and it has a water pill in it so it does tend to make it difficult to stray far from the bathroom (at times)Glad to hear that you're getting around a little better

That's not good about the side effects from the blood pressure medicine. I would have been a bit frustrated with the nurse arriving so much earlier then expected. The $25 wheel chair is a steal awesome find!

My mom had to take blood pressure medicine and she complained of the same problem. A small folding wheel chair is surely a great help.

Diuretics and coffee are a bad combination, they both make you want to pee lol I take a different blood pressure medicine and I am fine.

i'm jest relieved 'n hopeful that yer gonna continue to get the assistance ya need, hon. i'd be inquirin' 'bout those pills if'n such occurs. perhaps there'd be 'nother med ya could try that'd not cause such? glad ya found'ja a wheelchair that 'twas affordable. i'd be thinkin' that medicare ought to've come 'nto play if'n yer doc ordered one? keepin' ya'n my thoughts always ~

good deal on the wheel chair, have you talked to them about the BP meds to see if there is something else that does not mess you us so much?
