Yesterday wasn't a good day. My 9am blood pressure was very low and for the first time in a long time I was severely nauseated, sweaty, very lightheaded and I thought I was going to pass out before the machine finished reading my blood pressure. It was only 79/28. It hasn't been that low in a long time. I had to have Dan help me back to the living room. I chugged some gatoraide and water and layed down. My symptoms go away when I lay back down.

An hour later my blood pressure was up to 100/60. I was still a little shaky and could feel my blood pressure dropping if I stood up for too long. My 6pm blood pressure was 87/60, not much better but I was starting to feel a little better. Needless to say I didn't get a lot done yesterday.

Today, I woke up and felt so much better even before I got out of bed. I got so much done today and felt so much better. We even went to a movie, "X-men". It didn't cost us anything as I had received some movie passes from the City for working 10 years as an instructor (I got those at the beginnning of the year and we hadn't used them yet.)

We are looking forward to Dan's knee surgery on Monday, he is in a lot of pain and limping more and more.
