Woe is me :-(

What with the bad reaction to the NSAID's ,and the newly prescribed BP medication halving my BP readings overnight and then making me too ill to walk about ..the past week has not been a good one healthwise for me.The frustration of not being able to do the household chores ,especially the ones I usually avoid, has driven me round the bend ! Funny how when I have the choice I choose not to do some chores ,but as soon as I am incapable of doing them they irritate me beyond all reason .The thing is that I like to be in control of my options and illness takes that from me .On trying to analyse these feelings (something I rarely do) I came to the conclusion that my body and brain had been taken over by some sort of irritated grumbling being similar to the one that already controls 'himself'...

enough said ..I do feel stronger today ,and trust God I am soon going to be back to my usual sweet natured self ..ha ha

I sang in the shower this morning ,so I must be okay :-)

thanks for the prayers and the e-mails & the comments from you all ,I hope to resume a 'normal life' very soon !!

*blessings*

I am feeling almost well again and relieved to say that the doctor decided not to prescribe anymore BP medication for now. I am to monitor my BP for a few weeks and see how things go ..what a difference a week makes !

PERKS OF BEING OVER 50

II Corinthians 12:9

"....My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."
