320–Easter Dress and Another Scare

031811

Sorry, this is the only picture I took today.  I found this sweet dress for my Mads at TJ Maxx tonight. I thought it would be a cute Easter dress.  (The picture doesn’t really do it justice.)

Today was a rough day.  David called me from Ms. Charlsie’s at lunch time and said that she’d had a little accident and her medicine was dropped on the floor and asked if I could come get it straight.  The first thing I thought was “how is Charlsie?”  Every time we have trouble with her medicine getting messed up it’s usually because she’s had another “episode”.  He seemed a little odd when he answered, but told me she was okay.  So, after I got off the treadmill I headed to her house.  When I got there the medicine was pretty messed up and she was visibly shaken.  Her blood pressure was like 212/110!!! David had her take a pill that the doctor says to take when her top number goes above 160 and we stayed there and monitored her to see if the medicine brought it down.  Finally, this evening she was back to herself and feeling better.  Her B/P was back within normal range. 

She was pretty frightened because she had a segment of time this morning that she can’t remember.  I talked to her at 8 AM and she was fine, but sometime after that it happened and she barely remembers talking to me on the phone.  She’s done this before and we believe it’s another TIA (mini stroke).  We left there at around 7:30 this evening and she was doing well, though.  I know she’s in God’s hands, but it is so worrisome to me.  I sure do love that woman.

Will certainly be keeping her in my prayers. I know my mother can relate to what you're going through.

I talked to her yesterday and she told me she had a problem with her blood pressure going up.. I went up the other day and spent some time with her , but she didn't tell me she was having this much trouble ... I went to church this morning and didn't go up and see her... Think it's mini strokes or she getting upset over her blood pressure ? She told me she got up at 3am and took her blood pressure.. I was hoping with warm weather ,she would be getting out and feeling better ..I love her also !

I had a TIA a couple of years ago and it's a scary thing. I'm sorry she's having to experience them but so glad you're there to be with her when she does. blessings, marlene

Hope Ms. Charlsie gets to feeling better very soon. That was scary. I'll be praying the doctor will find something out soon!
