Thanks everyone for the warm thoughts. I've purchased the blood pressure machine - it's hovering around 145/95 - still high, but much better then it was.

I've joined the local gym. Actually, our town is so small that it doesn't have a real gym, but one of the local motels has memberships to use their pool and exercise room - I'm hoping to be able to lower the BP with some weight loss and exercise. I'm not going to start to go until after my next PCP app't and she tells me what I can do.
