Back from my Dr.appointment.The freezing rain was horrible. Normally take us 15 minutes there.Took almost an hour. Had to stop a few times to wipe the blade that contain ice. Forgot to put my winter blades on. I could not get an injection today that my blood pressure was sky high. 190/50 This is due to the driving and my infection in my ear. I am so messed up and want to get this over with. Been taking my pills.They tell me it will take 3 days or more. Why is this happening to me at the end of the year? Anyone driving in this freezing rain.Do not if you do not need to.

Hope you are home safe & sound now. Driving in freezing rain certainly can raise the BP.

I hope you dont have to go out anymore. Oh too bad you did not remember the wiper blades Fredo. I wish your health would improve so that you feel better and dont have this ordeal at the end of the year.

Oh God. I am sorry for your medical woes but glad to hear you are okay otherwise and did not land in a ditch. Your weather sounds even worse than our freezing fog crudola! I hope you can stay warm and at home now.

Oh no! Well I hope you can rest up at home the rest of the day. Too much stress in one morning will certainly raise that blood pressure!

We haven't had any freezing rain, ice or snow. It just went past us because our temps weren't cold enough. Did you find out what was wrong with your ear? I know you have been having problems with it lately.

It's just sunny and cold right now here in CA. I dropped an email off to my brother near Boston to see how the weather is there. Hope your ear infection is gone quickly.

Driving in that mess would definitely raise BP. Hope you get back to normal soon and hope you are well.

The cold weather won't be helping these aches and pains one bit, and neither will all the stresses of Christmas. I hope you'll be able to get some rest in a nice warm home until you feel better.
