Just got back from the doctor's office and my blood pressure hasn't improved particularly, but then it's only been two days of taking the meds. I go back Tuesday to have the blood pressure checked again to see if this dosage of meds is working or not. According to the nurse, there should be a significant improvement by Tuesday if the Lisinopril is working.
Anyway, what this means is that I won't start the new job on Tuesday as expected. If things are "normal" on Tuesday, I'll start the job on Monday, September 12.
On a brighter note, I found some really marvelous avocados at the grocery store so I picked up a couple. One is my late lunch, which I'm munching on now, and the other will be had with dinner tonight. I also found some really nice looking red seedless grapes which I've already munched on. They're going to be my snack food of choice until they run out.

Well that spoils the card I was sending. Is it your idea or theirs to wait til Sept. 12?
Theirs. I can't start until the blood pressure is under control.
I am really beginning to respect this company - they care about your health. Do you realize how rare that is now a days.
A friend at work had to take the week off because he had a major anxiety attack - he is the guy who schedules our classes. I really lost my cool when one of our part-timers started whining because she had her classes in different building. It takes that guy a year to schedule stuff only to have our dept head screw it up last minute.
I don't think their decision has as much to do with my health as it does with their liability if I drop dead while on the job.
you couldn't leave it at they care about you - could you?
Unfortunately, I have become very jaded about some things.
