Like Sally above I always have to do a week of readings before any BP check up to get a picture of what it actually is rather than what is shows itself to be at the surgery. It's high no matter what I do, and every single tablet they have ever tried me on gives me terrible side effects.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-23803162837370870302022-12-08T02:43:22.074+00:002022-12-08T02:43:22.074+00:00Perhaps like me, you suffer from 'white coat s...Perhaps like me, you suffer from 'white coat syndrome'. When I have an appointment coming up I take my BP twice a day for a week and they take the average. You can buy a machine for less than £15. My grandson came and got the tree down from the loft and his sister was going to come and trim it up, then she got COVID, so I've had a naked tree standing there for nearly a week!

No matching designer tree here either.Our tree has beautiful glass baubles lovely people have brought me back from their trips all over the world, mixed with children's hand made decorations,some over 40 years old, and now put together by my grandchildren. From some angles it does have a Dr Seuss like lean but I will not 'fix' it, just enjoy it.

With boxes of ornaments to use, I can add as much as I like. Upon waking each morning, I turn on the Christmas tree lights...I love Christmas. Your community health programs sound very good. Knowing all the vital health numbers allows us to make small lifestyle adjustments and improve (after Christmas) if we choose.
