Summer Lingers

Well I was really hoping to post more than once a week...where has the time gone? Anyway it is HOT here...89 the other day. But it should ripen up the last of the tomatoes. Saw my cardiologist yesterday and got a clean bill of health as far as my heart goes. The heart cath showed no sign of coronary artery disease at all and good pumping action. My blood pressure has stayed down, although they want me to continue to monitor it. I had my follow-up CT scan of the nodule in my lung today. They also wanted to repeat a chest x-ray. I do not know if the doctor will call me with results or wait until I see him on the 19th. The cardiologist said that my blood pressure may be down for a couple of reasons. First, with my gyn's permission I have stopped taking Estrostep, which was just to minimize the pre-menopause symptoms I was having. But it can raise blood pressure and can cause clots, so I'm off it. Hopefully the "hot flashes" won't come back! The other thing the doctor said is that I have dropped some weight and that even a little weight off can really affect the blood pressure. Well I'd better go check on the tomato sauce - still canning and canning!
