Flu Shot
Well I seen my primary care physician on Monday and have great news.  My blood pressure has always been a problem and has never been lower than 120 over 84 with medication, well it was 102 over 64.  My doctor asked if I was feeling light headed because he was surprised.  Thank you God!  He also suggested I get the regular flu shot especially because of my full time teaching the college students and their hygiene habits.  Well I have never had one before so I found out I am one of those who gets the bonus with the shot.  The bonus I am talking of is having the flu like symptoms for the next 24 hours.  I had a hard time making it through the day today but managed.  The ortho brace the hospital made for my leg I think may be restricting my movement so I going to go back to wearing a cloth type support that pulls the foot up so it does not drop freely.  Hopefully it will allow me to work the leg and knee more so I can build more strength up in it.  I do not know how much longer my window of recovery will last so I want to do what I can.  One thing I have learned from this whole experience is that this is my body and I have to take care of it.  My sleeping seems to be going more off key lately.  Currently it is midnight and I only slept four hours last night and I laid in bed for three hours before getting back up tonight.  My problem is I am wide awake, so where is everyone?  LOL!  People really helpful in rides and taking me where I need to go.  I am actually getting use to being a passenger and not the driver.    Well my sleepless nights will be helpful when I go for my EEG on Friday.
