I have to do it and the alternative was online. It's not a cheerful subject and better to do it with others really.<br />Good point about the bp monitoring, Eileen. I suppose that the opposite is that one gets used to it and therefore one doesn't get so stressed about doing it. I was very concerned about it preventing the operation but now that's over I'm fairly chilled. Yes, it has to be addressed, but there's time for that. I'm really thinking once a day for now reducing to a weekly thing, like weighing, etc.<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-7094298500927035432018-04-27T08:49:22.655+01:002018-04-27T08:49:22.655+01:00Well done you it is not easy to rest if you are an...Well done you it is not easy to rest if you are an active person but it is the sensible thing to do. So perhaps the bad weather is here to help you!!!!Diane Eppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227325305615990424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-49255458240129600082018-04-27T08:15:09.841+01:002018-04-27T08:15:09.841+01:00It's horrible here as well, pouring down and c...It's horrible here as well, pouring down and cold with it. I've put the heating back on for an hour to take the chill off the house. <br /><br />I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well and hope it continues. I'm not sure that I like the sound of beetroot juice, I imagine it has a strong, very earthy flavour which I don't think I'd like.<br /><br />Re: the blood pressure monitoring at home, please keep in mind that if you check it too often and/or if you allow yourself to think about it too much, you may falsely keep the readings too high. This happened to someone I once worked with.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-82496942941300784562018-04-27T07:24:46.759+01:002018-04-27T07:24:46.759+01:00You're doing very well if you're feeling s...You're doing very well if you're feeling so good just days after an op, Joy. Don't take it for granted though, will you, don't run before you can walk! (I sound like your mother don't I?!). You do sound like you're taking things easy and doing what you should.<br /><br />We've got totally yucky weather here today, been raining since last night and forecast to continue for most of the day. On the plus side, the garden is looking lush and green.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
