A visit to the doctor
June 6, 2007I had to go.
He was holding my scripts hostage….till I came in for a visit.
No narcotics, just good old fashioned BP medication to
keep the morbidly obese alive a few more years. Apparently he wanted to run a few tests to make sure I was not gonna die before I payed up. The nurse weighed me (297 lbs.) down from 305 (a lifetime of work) since SFF has been eating right.
The big news is, I made a wager with my doctor to get my BP down without medication: Goal weight of 240-250 lbs. in 6-9 months. Now I have somebody watching over my shoulder.
That is Motivation
You can do it. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and given TWO medicines. (One terribly expensive, I might add.) She told me if I could lose weight AND exercise (she’s evil, I tell you!), she would take me off my medicines. I got rid of one back in December or January and the other one about two months ago.
Good luck!
Wish I could get my hubby to read this. He has HBP and went off his meds without consulting his doctor.
The problem with high blood pressure is it is a silent killer. He thinks that as long as he feel OK, then he doesn’t need the HBP meds. And, I can’t get him to understand that he needs to continue them.
Good luck,FH. On the weight loss and the HBP.
