Do you have an automatic blood pressure machine at home? If not, get one and monitor your own blood pressure. If it stays consistently above 120/80, call your doctor.

Gayle...I'm so glad you're a member of this forum. You help out here in so many ways, from helping us to stay healthy to making us laugh. So I have someone else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.....you!

I've been taking readings on three different machines and the readings are in the 140s/90s on a wrist cuff and arm cuff we have at home. I also go a couple times each day to one of those chairs with the arm cuff we have at the office. Of course, when I made the appointment with my PCP, it was my previously lower reading.

I have an appointment in a couple hours to get the stitches out of my foot. OMG, I hope he lets me throw these crutches and boot away. My kids were making fun of my one tennis shoe this weekend. They want to get it bronzed like a baby shoe. It is very worn and scuffed from being worn almost everyday for FOUR MONTHS. Of course, there's a matching barely worn left shoe. This boot/brace is so dirty and worn.

140s/90s is TOO HIGH! You need to get that pressure DOWN - don't wait.

Got the stitches out and my foot looks and feels good. He thinks I've developed a hairline stress fracture, down on my foot where my toes come out, due to de-bone mineralization. So, I'm back in the walking boot for three more weeks. I can get out and walk more, being careful. It's to the point that I don't even care anymore. Bring it on!

Judy, THANKS. The weather is beautiful today and I actually got out at lunchtime for a short walk. It was awesome, being the most I've walked in six months or so!
