I finally took the time a couple days ago to download Windows 10, but with some trepidation. I had read several blogs that noted that they had a lot of trouble and couldn't find their photos and other problems. I chose not to download at the beginning of the offer because I was hoping that if there were "bugs" they would have some of them worked out. I am so thankful that everything has gone well for me. Yes, it took a little time to figure out where everything is with Windows 10 and I still want to learn a little more to make sure I am doings things the easiest way.
And, guess what? I DID NOT HAVE TO CALL MY GREAT GRANDSON!
Don't ya love that photo? I can't stop laughing because it is so true.
My "White Dawn" Climbing Rose is loaded with buds and started opening this morning and by this evening there are several open roses. It is so beautiful and a very prolific bloomer that can get to 20 feet tall. I have to trim it often when it reaches the top of my fence. It is an older rose and actually was introduced about 70 years ago. It is black spot resistant and can take the hot sun as well as some shade. It has done so well in my garden. I think it likes where I have it planted. It has always looked healthy and that pleases me. Enjoy these photos I took this late afternoon.
Now, a little about my issues with my blood pressure which is called Labile Hypertension. It was a very difficult weekend. I started increasing my hypertension medications on Friday. I felt very ill and my BP readings were all over the place with the highest 205/115, but later in the same day 131/56. I have been through this roller coaster so many times. The last time was in November 2014 when MSM was ill and passing away! This evening my reading is 134/73 and of course I am feeling much better but this morning (9 AM) it was 187/107! If I had gone to the walk-in clinic during the weekend, they would have sent me to the hospital for admission. It has happened a few times in the past. I will do anything to stay out of the hospital! However, my GP will be in her office tomorrow (off today) and I will call to see if she can see me tomorrow. This is no fun! However, being a retired RN and having lived with this for so long (since age 29) helps a little bit. Through the years I have had a multitude of diagnostic tests. It may be time for more. It is always "trial and error" with medication and dosage adjustments. Needless to say, my physical activity is minimal and I am resting most of the time. This is a pretty good definition of Labile Hypertension. "Instead of physical activity, it is usually emotion stress that results in Labile Hypertension. Because of this and its volatile nature, labile hypertension is usually not as receptive to blood pressure medication as other variants of hypertension." Enough said.
Take care and always listen to your body. It can tell you a lot.
