Sorry I have not been around, it is harvest time and I am working with everything I am receiving. Being a landlady calls for me to be on call all the time. Two heart doctor, two people. First I have been canning the food I am getting from the garden, all the tomatoes ripened ( no rain so they are early) I canned 55 tomato products , 23 jars of fig preserves, 7 jars of spearmint jelly, 6 jars of pickled eggs and 4 jars of potatoes ( I did the potatoes because I wanted to fill the pressure canner) I have more figs coming, every couple of days till they are all gone. I am having a problem with a water heater, its only 2 years old so I have no idea what is wrong with it, today we change the breaker again and check for a water leak, its just getting warm and not hot. Today I have to rehook a toilet flush handle, the elderly lady called to say it was broke, more than likely it just came undone. And I am evicting or getting money in the next couple of days for the NEW tenant, she has mental problems ( don`t we all?!)but that is no excuse for not paying her rent. Tony did not have his heart shocked - afib- instead the medication IS working BUT his blood pressure is so high and they put him back on the one he was on, its slowly coming down. My heart doctors appointment, I get a few times a year, I don`t feel I got the time I deserved with the doctor. All I got is you are still okay, you have weak heart, and blah blah blah, I have excellent blood pressure its rarely over 125/70 usually those numbers are a little lower so what does he do? This crazy man put me on high blood pressure medication! He said its to build the heart muscle, make it strong again. ( I read that it also help protect the kidneys when you have diabetes) So this dummy takes it a week. My blood pressure readings went down to 104/48 pulse 52, Nearly dead?! I stopped taking the medication. I figure that he wanted me rushed to the hospital and he would HAVE to put in a pace maker, make all that money and be happy. All I have to say is ..... Naw! Aint going there, I an not a follower like that, he aint God. So how have you been doing?

I can understand your frustration about the BP pills. My cardiologist did the same and I was feeling so bad all the time that I decided to just take l/2 of what he suggested. I feel so much better and my BP is fine. Doctors are not always right, we know our bodies better than they do!

But I never had high blood pressure, I mean ever! Yes I do and that is why I stopped taking it.

Wow that's pretty scary to think your blood pressure went down that low and it's probably a good thing you stopped taking it. Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate

It is funny you should ask as it is a bit hectic at the moment, we are purchasing a house in the USA and are planning the changes necessary to turn it around quickly as a rental property, giving us an income.

Surely the doctor wouldn't really be thinking like that? It is pretty terrible if he is. Some doctors have very few scruples.

@andriaperry No, I think you're right. It's just I like to believe the best of people and more and more they're falling short of my expectations.
