Sorry for the rant I just get so frustrated and I know you do, too. I hope the medicine change helps. It's just impossible to feel better with low blood pressure.

Hey Betsi, rant all you want, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Gary is not taking the new asthma meds the doc prescribed back in November, because, as he says, "I can't tell they are doing a darned thing for me" He's very hard-headed. He knew darned well he should take the meds with food, but if you are not going to eat breakfast, well then you just can't take them with food, can you??? GRRRRRRR

He took his medications after we ate lunch today at about 11:00 this morning and when I got home (~5:00), his blood pressure was 118/80, much improved from 78/42 this morning, don't cha think!!! Sometimes I think he is from Missouri - he's gotta "see it" (or experience it) before he will believe it!!! (again)

Gayle, I hope that Gary continues to improve. You are just going to have to make sure he eats breakfast. That is one of my worse meals, i never eat breakfast.

I'm glad his BP is back to normal. No wonder he felt crummy!

I know I get upset with Mike..but I'm so afraid I won't have him with me as long as I would like. I've been married to him for 34 years, and I still kinda like the guy!

I'm sure you feel the same about Gary. Some days are just harder than others

You are sooooo right! I do get upset with him, but it passes quickly since my main goal is keeping him here with me as long as possible!!!

Gayle, I'm glad that you found out what the problem was. Give Gary a kick in the rear from me and tell him to quit scaring you (and us)!!!! LOL
