No I'm not on cardiac meds. Unless you mean the blood pressure medication.

Donna


We had tornado and thunderstorms watch and warnings last night. During the
early and late evening, into the morning. I hate those kind because I
can't stay up and watch it all night.

It wasn't easy either knowing Derrick was in a apartment alone, and worrying
the worst would happen. But all seems well this morning. I am going in and
taking him to his yearly physical this afternoon.

Yes. Water pills / Diuretics. Also beta blockers.

Yes, the BP meds are cardiac meds.

Did you want to stay up to watch if you got the storms because you were worried, or because you like watching them, too?

I'm sure you have many worries with Derrick living alone now. It must be hard I hope that he got a clean bill of health at his physical so you have no new worries

Well it wasn't the best of visits. Even though I have a goiter. And have
had ultrasounds. He found two goiters, or at least that is what it
sounds like. I didn't know it was possible to have two. He was concerned
because one is bigger than the other. So he is having an ultrasound.

Also had blood work, and got an call this morning his phosphate is high.
So has to have the CBC I think they called it again in 6 weeks when he
goes back.

Otherwise good day with Derrick. And I was just worried about him. There
tornado watch started later than ours. But its looking like I wont need
to worry. The downstairs tenant had come the night before in middle of night to get him and the other upstairs tenant to the basement.
