Seen the dr. He says it could take 1or 2 months for my body to go back
to normal. Specially meaning the pre-eclampsia. Including my blood
pressure. Top number is fine the bottom number though is still in the
high 80's sometimes 90's. I don't like that. Before this my norm was
118/63. Dr says he's not concerned at this point. I should concentrate
on losing weight and eating healthy. Which is fine but when your
retaining water on and off it's hard to track your weight. So I'm
guessing saying I have about 20lbs to lose before I'm back to normal. My
only big concern right now is headaches that sometimes turn to
migraines. It could be this or my thyroid or any of the traditonal
causes I get too. Like a change in weather or slept wrong on my pillow.
So I'm just trying to stay active and eat a little better.
I'm hoping this weekend I can get started on my next quilt. It's been a
couple of months since I did any sewing and I'm really missing it. I
have not been sewing because of my health and on going renovations in
our house. Hubby has been doing most of the renos but it leads to stuff
being moved around and usually ends up covering my sewing area. So today
I'm going to spend a couple of hours and try to declutter it.
Thanx to everyone for your prayers.
Take Care
Joanna

It took 9 months to get the baby grown and delivered. IMHO, it isn't
an instantaneous change back to pre-pregnancy form for anyone. Sounds
like the dr is advising caution and patience to get back to what is
normal for you. Perhaps the old phrase "slow and steady wins the race"
applies here?
You'll get there, we're confident of that!

It's good to hear that you are on the mend and your blood pressure is
getting almost normal. Time and your good Dr. will help too. Best
wishes for a fast recovery..Donna

2 ways to lower your blood pressure just a little bit: One - walking. Do
you feel like walking for 5 minutes? You don't have to hurry or jog or
anything big. Just creep or totter. Outside - around the house. Two trips
if you make it the first time. Increase at will or don't - just do a
little. Remember to breathe.
The other? a bit silly But it matters. What is the salt/sodium content
of your drinking water? Our own well water carries a handful of salt per
quart. DH drinks whatever jugs of 'drinking water' at the grocery we can
find with a lower salt/sodium ratio. Of course, it's not just drinking - you
have to remember to use it for coffee, tea, soup or anything else you add
water to.
And I just: used a preposition to end a sentence with and began a
sentence with 'and'. So? We just want our Joanna feeling heaps better
soon. Polly
