Still pretty steady

Last Wednesday I got my results and I was at 2.1. At least now its going up but on a much shallower incline. Before, if you plotted it out, it looked like an EKG.

So this will be the second week of staying at the same dosage. I see the cardiologist on Wednesday and we'll see if the other drug gets reduced. I suspect he will.

We have some major sewer construction going on in the intersection near us. Man the most annoying thing is the traffic. Lanes have been reduced so there is only one and it is an either/or lane. You can go west or you can go east, but you wait your turn. Its a four minute wait going eastbound and three minutes the other way.

Its annoying, in that the place I get stuck at is only 10 houses away from home. You don't realize how long four minutes is until you're sitting there waiting. What I really get a kick out of though, is the fact that there are enough signs around warning of the delay and the signs were up a full two weeks before they even started this. So why do people get out of their cars and look to where they want to be and shake their heads? The signs where you stop says "4 minute wait". The other huge signs tell you to expect MAJOR DELAYS.


Oh, and don't  let anyone in off the side street. In fact, block the intersection so they can't even get through. Yeah, that's the ticket. You don't want them getting home any sooner than you're going to.

But, we still get bozos trying to get around the intersection by cutting the corner. They then come down our street, the wrong way, and haven't got the brains to figure it out. There's a one way sign right opposite where they come out the side street and turn the wrong way. I will admit its not as bad now with only one car or truck coming around at a time. But it sure is amazing to see these people come the wrong way down the road and suddenly all three lanes are filled with cars that have turned with the light!

We actually had that happen with a person one night. He was going north on a south bound street and suddenly all these cars were in front of him. He pulled over as far as he could and then turned off his headlights???????

I wonder if he thought it put him in invisible mode???

My little brother turns out to have heart issues as well. He needs a valve replaced. BUT he has the doctor who is head of cardiovascular surgery at a major hospital.My brother isn't quite ready to commit to the surgery yet. They have other things going on in their lives right now. SO he is looking at about July to see the surgeon again and then it should be about 6 months after that for the surgery, so about a year from now.

They (brother and SIL) are thinking of moving somewhere out past London. That's better than where they were first looking. They were  thinking of going to Elliott Lake. Do you know how far away that is. I mean you're darn near living with Santa ! ! ! !

Thankfully they want to stay near the bigger hospitals and that means southern Ontario. Fine by me.

Thanks Baby Brother ! ! ! ! ! ! !
