hi you guys its 6 here 12 in longyear 46 and raining in ice. so we went to dr buzzards yesterday afternoon. i was nervous so got in his room. maria his nurse was in there and extra nice too. she took my bp said it was little high but said it would be up cause i was here. she never told us what it was. oh earlier before we left i had changed my clothes put on clean jeans shirt clean socks but had one pink sock and one white sock and i went out to the barn got down to fill up water bowl for the mice in hay dust and dirt so white sock now brown sock. oh well i thought not like dr will be down there so dr buzzard came in and he as smiling being so nice i thought who is this? course jim sitting next to me. so jim told him i was having those really bad headaches like migraine then dr was asking if it made me throw up no but i could not stand any kind light was wearing dark wraparound sunglasses in the house could not stand noise jim told him he gave me one of his bp pills i told dr after about 6 hours no more headaches and bp went down to 130's he told jim i am suppose to make her feel better well i thought you had your chance. he said he was going to prescribe that same bp medicine for me but not 5 mg 10mg i had told him i feel better if it is lower than that low like jims is now 117/68 he asked if i had any swelling in my ankles and he was looking at my ankles with the dirty socks i told him i live in the barn too. he reminded me his dad was a vet and i did remember that in iowa. just being so nice and stuff. he said if i get those headaches when bp is good then a cat scan to see if i have a brain tumor but i was probably okay yes bp pill no headaches. we left and when we got out of there jim said like night and day yes he was so nice today. jim said bs he should be nice all the time to all his patients. so i will take my two in an half hour see what happens. oh dr was asking me if his shot helped my knee at all i said it is about the same he kept on about my knee jim said she came for her bp today. when she tore her meniscus ortho dr told me that her knee was pretty well shot probably need a new one. he also fixed mine same time i did well with mine. i will never have him give me a shot again. big relief getting thru all that and out of there.
Cal, Good news!! that Dr Buzzard prescribed BP med for you. My heavens your description of your migraine sounds nasty. Good that your headache(s) have gone away after taking BP med. Don't worry I hope. All's good for you now.
Very nice he was pleasant and nice to you too. He should be!
Your story about color of your socks is cute. Good Dr Buzzard wasn't rude because Jim would have probably verbally let him have it!
I hear ya about sore knees and needing knee replacements. I think more people need them but don't get them.
I don't get to the Forum every day lately so take care.
