Ironman ( the movie, not the event)

We went to see it tonight. It was pretty good. Not enough battles in my taste but all in all a decent flick.

I saw the doctor this afternoon. He changed my medication. My BP has been an average of 150/110 for the last 10 days. Not optimal yet. So I am still not allowed "hard" sports as he calls them. Walking and only walking. I have to see him again in one month. He did blood test again for my kidneys and my sugar level. It seems to be fine since he didn't call home.
I can start running once I am in the 90s for the diastolic. Same goes for weight lifting and biking on hills. Biking is out anyway until I see the physio. My knee cannot take it and it is still swollen. It has been more then 2 months. Even if I put cold and heat on it. And I tried the campher oil to. That had worked wonder on my ankle a few years ago. Mind you, it was in combination with physio and accupuncture. So I am pretty much putting all my faith in the physio, june 4th. Oh yeah.
I am so afraid of losing all my progress so far. It was going very well before the knee and the move.

Have a nice week-end people.

long week-end finished already

We went for nice long walks on saturday night and sunday night. We are exploring our neighbourhood slowly.
We went to get my mom back from her cruise on sunday morning. Then we went to the old house to do the last cleaning, clean the floors, cut the grass. I succeeded in bringing back some strawberries plants, the pelownia and some hostas. We planted them as soon as we arrived here. I know that they will trive here and grow easely.
I brought back the tree that Nanne had planted for Bella. That way it will continue to grow here.
My lovey took out the stupid ac that was installed in the living room wall that goes in the garage. Turns out, the electric plug was cut anyway. So it wasn't working at all. Doesn't matter because we are getting the new furnace with ac very soon.

7.2 km 1h20 minutes

I decided to go to the dollar store by foot with the pookie in the stroller. It was very nice but I am glad to be home. We left it was cold, 11 celsius but by the time I got to the store I was soaked. We bought everything to make another pasta robot . We had done one in the past and the pookie truly enjoyed it. But we were out of silver paint. So off we went. Now we have all the supplies.

The guy came for the renovation( we plan to change the garage into a big living room). Buuutttttt!!!! First of all, he is a plumber. He says, don't worry I do renovation to. Second, I ask how we go about to get a plan to have it approved by the city so that we can get the permit. He answer:"right, right for a project like that you would need a plan. You would also need a permit. When we do bathroom and small project we don't use a permit. I mean, the city gets us enough on the money." What???? Sooooo!!! we will be looking elsewhere to get the plan and see if they can recommand someone. Because the first guy that the inspector recommanded to us never called back. Second guy I got from Home Depot seems very shady. Hopefully, third time's the charm.

It is a long week-end here and we plan to enjoy it. My mom is coming back sunday and we are going to get her at the bus terminal. Then last cleaning of the old house, I will wash the floor while my lovey cuts the grass. Then we are back home and we can enjoy monday together. Yeah!!!

a nice walk again tonight

We went for another walk tonight around the river. I love it. So beautiful and calm. I tought that the sound of the dam on the river would be nice.
There is also a little woodpecker on the tree in front of our house. He is not there everyday, so I don't know where he goes but tonight he was there when we came back from the walk. You can't see him on the video but you can hear him.

1 hour walk

We went for a long walk last night across the bridge and into town. It was beautiful. Of course, I forgot my camera. But we saw a geese on the side of the river. I tought those were on farm usually. Except this one was right there in the wild. I don't know if it escape or what happen. I will bring my camera next time in case she is there.

Tonight, we are going to the notary again, but this time it is for the procuration for the sell of our house in Ste-Catherine. We won't be there as my lovey can't take a day off. Since my mom is not here( she is still on her cruise) we are bringing the pookie. Pray for us. :)

152/109

It is much better but not perfect yet. I am so tired and I am dizzy most of the time. I know they are side effects from the new drug but I feel like I am 80 years old. I am spaced out to. So I rest and try to adjust but there is so much to do around the house. Lesson in patience( not my strongest point). Tonight I hope to go for a walk with my lovey. Last night, he was too tired. I should have gone alone but I was too tired to.
I painted the entrance closet today and emptied some more boxes. And I went for a mini walk with the pookie so she could practice with her bike. The goal is for her to become good enough taht she can ride her bike when we take our walks at night. I think her bike is not that good tough because the back wheel spins in space when she tries to pedal. We will see if it is time to buy a new one.

220/130

Scary? Very scary, that was my BP this morning. I finally decided to go to the hospital because the base of my skull was feeling weird. And that is when I discovered that my BP was that high.
The doctor put me on medication. Good news is , they did blood works and a cardiogram and my heart is good and my blood is good ( my kidneys, my sugar...)
But the doctor said that some time, even with all the good intention in the world( i.e. diet, exercises) the BP needs medication and that is all.
So, I am on pills. He also said that until I see him in two weeks, may 23, I cannot run, bike hills or lift weights ( no boxes either). Walking is the only activity.
I have no family doctor but he agreed to see me at the follow up clinic in the emergency.
I am a little bummed but I know that it is something that I needed to do, now it is done. Hopefully, in a few pounds, I can get off the meds.
Happy mother's day to all the mommys in blogosphere.
