I ran several errands today at six stores in different locations around town. It was sunny and warm with a cooler wind at times. I got most things done except for the store where assistance in the garden centre was not present. Two carts only in the huge outdoor area. I wasn't going to schlep planters and pots of plants into the store separately and then have to somehow get them to the car. So, I left. I knew it would be busy today given it is the Saturday of a long weekend and one where people begin to get their yards prettified for the season. I will head back that way in a couple of days.
At the last place on my list, I began to feel yucky. Fatigue was major and as I drove home I thought it might be lower blood pressure -- something I've lived with forever. Once home, I sat down and took my pressure and pulse. Whoa! Things were very low. As I sat semi-prone, things improved. While blood pressure falling through my toes can happen out of the blue for me, I'm convinced this is a side effect of one of the eye drops I'm taking post surgery. I will call the pharmacist tomorrow and leave a message for the doctor to find when that office opens on Tuesday.
I kept hearing the opening line of a song as I was thinking. In a weird way it fits my drop in pressure. <smile> I know I used this one recently, but that line just seemed to fit the situation perfectly. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Under Pressure -- David Bowie and Queen
