Return to the South
Hello and greeting to everyone.
We are back at the Southern Outpost; we returned in the early evening. While Rebecca rested this morning, I packed up the cars and prepared the Northern Outpost for our absence. Lena, our Dalmatian, mystically realized we were leaving the Northern Outpost. Excitedly, she kept racing between the house and the VW. She even figured out which car would ferry her south.
Before leaving Fort Collins, Rebecca had a chiropractor appointment. During the appointment, Rebecca's BP was measured to be 162/104. This was concerning. The situation was very similar to last Sunday, except without the headache.
Because everything was tracking like last Sunday, we decided not to go the the hospital for observation. Rebecca was feeling OK, only a little puffiness, so we drove south and Rebecca laid down. This is basically all that was done last Sunday. The high BP is most likely due to the severe lack of sleep over the past two nights. Tonight, we have access to Ambien again and we will use it! Already the puffiness has gone down quite a bit, and Rebecca is sleeping (without any pharmaceuticals yet).
We have a NST and OBGYN appointment tomorrow morning, so we will have the BP looked at again.
Xavier has been active, especially this afternoon during lunch. Apparently he also likes turkey.
Always, thank you all for your prayers.
