I've been checking it at home and at work. I'm self-diagnosing and waiting until I'm up and around more. I just think (HOPE) that it's because I've been basically immobile for 5 months. I'll start checking it again next week when I go back to work and things settle down. I have the sample pills to start, if it stays up.

That is so true Diana...my mother's BP is just fine at home, but take her to the Dr. and wow...really really high.

Are you ready to go back to work Sandy? I hope the BP is better by then...don't want you to stress or anything like that. Just take care of yourself.

How are you doing Sandy? Is the BP down yet? Is the boot off?

You are a trooper, girl!
