I've heard nothing back from Rescued One... :disappointed:
That's alittle concerning ... :confused:

I guess the best we can do is to continue to remember her in our prayers, and hope to see her here again soon.
(Thanks for the update!)

Starting blood pressure meds this evening and am finding it a little scary!

Anyone have any advice? :oops: :grin::(:frowning:
I've been on them for years. Salt is my #1 enemy. Eating salad is fine, but yummy Ranch dressing has a LOT of salt. Read the ingredients on food you buy. The tastiest ones have salt. Salt just makes everything taste better :( I've been on meds for at least 13 years.

Thank you so much!!! I almost died in October. I was in dire shape and hospitalized. I'm so grateful for your prayers.

You were missed, and I'm so very glad you survived the ordeal.
:heart:

Apparently, it wasn't your time to go 'home' in October ...
so maybe it is that God has more for you yet to do here for Him? That would be my thought ...
:blush:

I've outlived 2 sisters and possibly a third one. I only know that the Lord is my source of hope and strength and sharing that with others might help someone who is discouraged. I hope I can encourage at least one person. Life may not be easy but faith in God means you are not alone!

That's the problem with salt and our bodies. It's in everything and therefore it's something we've become addicted to. I don't add salt to anything and I try to stay away from foods that have it added. That's difficult when you're shopping for groceries! I stick to fresh veggies or frozen, canned are full of salt. Just about anything canned is full of salt. Same way with sugar. Bread recipes all call for salt and sugar. I leave both out when I bake bread. Fresh fruit and veggies taste wonderful. Manufacturers of food add so much that we don't need, just to get people addicted.
I could rant but I won't.

My parents both had high blood pressure so I guess it was only a matter of time for me. I just don't like taking pills. :rolleyes:

I lost my TV remote! It's so frustrating. And my only phone isn't working! I might as well live in a cave.

Did you find it? :oops:

Check between the chair or couch cushions. Or if you're like me you might have carried it to another room and set it down.

Remember the days before remotes?!
There are times I think living in a cave might not be such a bad idea. :idea:

I gave up looking for it and there it was in pharmacy bag by my recliner! I had been reaching inside the recliner, looking underneath it, as a last resort I thought I'd look in thr dining room. Then I said, "Forget it" That always works! I walked back to the recliner and asked myself what was that black thing in the pharmacy bag. It had fallen in there!
