Outstanding.All this talk of BP, made me pull out my home digital machine to check mine. 110/65, that is my normal reading. Cleaning up my diet made a huge difference. Have a good weekend everyone, just having some breakfast on Saturday morning.

We'll be hanging a shingle laterThanks kindly Jack.
Always good to get a second opinion concerning our bodies.
Just check in here, we are always glad to help.
Seriously, I've been on Losartan for years and have ideal blood pressure now. Too late in life to start giving up any foods.
Thanks Mitch. Looking forward to seeing some gators, which abound here.Very cool Bob
Look forward to the new scenery.
Scales look shiny, Very nice.
Thanks Sid

would say take the long dirt nap. After five hours of surgery they removed six inches of my colon. I recovered but ended up with a colostomy bag. Two weeks ago my surgeon did a reverse ostomy and removed the stoma so I can now have normal bowel functions. Finally I also do not have high blood pressure anymore! It’s amazing what quitting smoking and drinking plus losing ninety pounds can do for one’s health. I now cherish every day and couldn’t have done it without the help of my beautiful bride who took our wedding vows to take me in sickness and health seriously.
Glad your better DanIt’s been a year since I started having major health problems. I’ve had high blood pressure for years and used medication to control it. Last June I was diagnosed with renal failure after collapsing at home and taken to the emergency room. Fifty years of hard living had finally caught up with me. As I lay in the hospital bed a doctor told me that they might be able to save my life. My brother is a board certified emergency room doctor and told me that I was lucky they were able to save me he and said that I was, “Circling the drain”. In one night in the hospital I quit smoking and drinking cold turkey. Fast forward to the end of July my brother came to visit me and one of the first things he did was listen to my heart and said that he believed that I had Afib and took me to the hospital where they did an EKG and my heart was beating 180 BPM. I was immediately admitted to the hospital. Funny thing was I was asymptomatic. They were able to with medication get my heart back in rhythm. After spending a week in the hospital I was released. Every thing seemed normal until after a routine blood test my primary care physician told me that I had a UTI and stated me on antibiotics. I seemed to improve for several days but it kept getting worse again. For the next several weeks they kept trying different antibiotics and nothing worked. I was pissing needles in the meantime. In early November of last year my urologist scheduled a CAT scan. The night before I collapsed and was rushed to the emergency room and admitted so they could do the scan the next day. After the procedure I was taken back to my room and there was a surgeon there who told me that I needed emergency surgery and I asked when and she said RIGHT NOW! Turns out I had the worst case of diverticulitis she had ever seen and without surgery I was hours away from septic shock and most likely as

That sounds pretty good Leon, well doneAll this talk of BP, made me pull out my home digital machine to check mine. 110/65, that is my normal reading. Cleaning up my diet made a huge difference. Have a good weekend everyone, just having some breakfast on Saturday morning.
I've not been sleeping well these past few weeks, and I understand that might be a factor. My worst readings last week were 156/81 and 146/93.LOL!
Thanks guys Great to see your Axe Lamb David

). I'm hoping to meet up with Wolfie today, but the sunny weather we've been enjoying is set to be interrupted with some rain this afternoon. Looking out of the window, it looks pretty dull, but it's still early, maybe we'll get some sunshine before the showers. Carrying Schultz. Have a great day Guardians 
Good to see Schultz. Hope you can keep your BP under control buddyGood morning Guardians, the weekend is here, and I hope everyone has a good one. I met Matt and his family in the pub last night, and we had something to eat, and a few beers (plus a margarita for the road

Some fine landscaping there, Bill.
Seems like most of the east coast is feeling the rainy weather. Golf has been a challenge lately.
