Stupid body, I divorced my ex for less. Keep that in mind.

I was hoping for answers today. I didn't get any. Making a special appointment with my nephrologist because my blood pressure has been extremely high, I'd hope that he'd be able to see what I'm talking about. Oh no no...not only was my blood pressure not high, it was too low...89/56. This is a man who gets nervous when I get down to 100/65.  At least the blood work was consistent with what I was telling him. I am both hyponatremic and hypokalemic. He told me that he wants me to fluid restrict and sodium load for 10 days and then have some blood tests. He seemed nervous like he didn't want to explain to me what he was thinking.

I then was hoping that Dr. R would be able to tell me something. He wasn't. He was surprised that after seeing blood pressures of 196/82 he was seeing 100/92. He asked a lot of questions, had some blood drawn and told me he would call me tomorrow to discuss a plan. He seemed as nervous as Dr. Cn. I told him what Dr. Cn wanted and he seemed to agree that I should stay with that for now.

It's he heightened sense of concern that I'm getting from them that has me concerned. Whatever happened to the days of going to the doctor and being told that I have strep throat and being handed a script for an antibiotic that cleared everything up in a few days.  I miss those days. Nowadays it seems like my zebras are breeding. I don't need any addition to the flock.

One of these days I'm going to dance right outta here.
