he was in the rehab of the U of U. Well, to make a long story short - I handed out more angels and they were all so happy to receive them - you should have seen the look of sheer joy on their faces. It was all worth every stitch to make all those angels - believe me - it was very rewarding.
Oh, the check up was good - the doctor wants to give him some injections of botex on Rick's next visit - it helps the muscles that are over tightened relax. We also went to our family practitioner later in the day - he had to change up on Rick's medication for his blood pressure, as we have had some extremely high readings lately. I know that the physical & occuaptional theripist were not allowing Rick to work out - if his lower number was higher than 95 - so now we are hoping that this new medicine will help that and he can get back to his regular routine - which also helps lower that blood pressure - so I don't know why they wouldn't allow him to do his therepy, in the first place - who knows. Have a great day - unless you have other plans.

What a blessing to get a good report. I know you and Rick must be excited that he is doing as well as he is and only has good things to look forward to.
I know your angels were a big hit with all that received them, they are beautiful.
Have a blessed day.

62461Glad the check up went well shirlener. blood pressure is vital, so good that they are looking and changing medication. they will get it right in the end. My hubby has been on it for ages and you can get very ill if not right.
As for the angels I am a great believer in them that they help. super that you made some more and give comfort to others. Take care. Look after yourself too. Hugs Edith

52685Thanks for the update. I am thrilled for you that Rick is doing better. I have high blood pressure myself which is under control with medication, but I know it can sometimes be tricky to find the right one. You are obviously a wonderful person to think of all of the people who cared for your husband when he was in there. God bless you both.
