My doc gave me some pointers to practice before attempting to take my blood pressure. 1st he suggested that I try to take it at the same 2 times every day. 2nd he suggested that for several minutes before taking the pressure that I take a moment to go to my happy place. Close my eyes and imagine something that makes me happy. So I do. I close my eyes and picture myself driving through the open desert in the Jeep with the top down and doors off and some cool nighttime music playing on the radio. What is nighttime music? Well it’s music that just sounds better when listened to at night—especially in the desert with the top down on the Jeep. So how does it work? Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Every single blood pressure measurement has been high for the last week. I guess that just means that my pressure is high and needs further adjustment. My doc threatened me with a third medication if the pressures didn’t come down. Oh well, what’s another pill among 1,800 per month?
