Hey everybody, how are you? I hope that you are having a wonderful Tuesday. I had a very busy day. I went to my doctor's office to get complete lab work done and also had an appointment with my podiatrist. It was a successful visit, I think. My blood pressure is still high but it dropped significantly from the last time I was there (last month). I have been watching my diet, exercising more, and taking my medicine daily. I also had a successful appt. with my podiatrist. He told me that my feet are in decent shape. He doesn't see any problems with them which is good because I was born with clubbed feet. He told me that Shriner's did an excellent job at straightening them out. He told me that I will definitely need to lose weight to take the pressure off of the ankles. He also suggested that maybe I would be interested in ankle braces (very costly but considering it). He was very happy to hear that I lost some weight and told me to keep going. He told me that's the only thing that is keeping me from being comfortable as far as walking/standing for long periods of time, etc. He also inquired about my sneakers, my back, knees, and hips. He was very thorough and nice. As for the blood and urine tests, I won't receive those results until I go to my PCP in two weeks but I feel optimistic and a bit confident. Great day today! :)
