honeymonsterOkay, so. Know how I lost a bunch of weight?
Well, apparently this caused my blood pressure to drop precipitously, and I have been going to the doctor for blood pressure checks for three days straight. They took me off one medication but I have to wean off the other one. I've been told to drink caffeine, too, which, since I need that sweet, is not doing a hell of a lot for my diet. I'm not going back to coca-cola, though. That seems like a bad idea.
None of this is doing my fucking anxiety any good, but that will also raise my blood pressure, so all good, right? All the nurses seemed worried about me, but I'm really not showing any symptoms except some dizziness. And nobody cared about the dizziness when my blood pressure was high. I do not understand that part.
Anyway, I have medical leave to drink a bottled frappuccino every day, and if I still need caffeine when those run out I can make my own. Not a bottled drink, of course, just a cup of coffee with half and half and chocolate syrup. Cheaper and probably better for me, really.
My latest way of not making things I need to make is to watch a bunch of Ultraman movies. I don't like Ultraman as much as Kamen Rider, but the monsters are fun.
