What makes your blood pressure rise? Certainly, not my happy family!


Apparently my normal blood pressure of 110/65 is due to all the stress at my job and at home. Now the I have been in Boston for a week with no issues to contemplate or decisions to make, its dropped to 74/50.

I knew I was in trouble when the Doctor said she was the "big boss" and Cheryl was the "little boss" and was not even going to be the "boss of me". She said relationships can be tested with the treatment if the patient decided to make his own decisions and she wanted me to know upfront what the pecking order was. I tried to test that theory today when Cheryl put one of those "green vegetables" on my plate. When I "accidentally" dropped it the floor, I thought I was off the hook but Cheryl held me down and shoved it in my face anyway. Glad this wasn't Chemo week... that could kill me.

Anyhow today was not eventful, got a bag of saline solution dumped in my central line to replenish my fluids (that's why the Doctor thought my blood pressure was low) and got 3 more shots the growth hormones to get another million stem cells in the blood for Tuesday.

Got to go, the Patriots are playing and Cheryl said there will be more green vegetables if I don't get in there and watch it with her...

Jackson and Cher,
Congrats on the PATS... sloppy win, but a win is a win!

The gig went well... Chester actually worked the crowd a bit, and we played til 1;30!!!!
(Of course, we didn't start until 11:15 because of the football game) We opened with "When the Saints Come Marchin In", the Saints fans loved it but the 2 philly fans flipped us the bird as they walked out... It was soooo Philadelphia of them!

Praying for a good harvest...(of stem cells of course)
Luv you guys,
T

I am glad the Gig went well. I was wondering how Chester would do with the new Toy!
