I went to the Dr. this morning for my weekly reading (i've been doing this for about 2 weeks) and it was 180/116. My previous reading were 130/100 and 115/98.
for the past 3 weeks I've been eating fruits, salads (little or no dressing) and oatmeal and drinking about a gallon of water a day. I've been walking about 2 miles every other day.
He has put me on medicine to help keep my bp down while he gets my tests results back.
Are there any other steps I can take to help keep my bp down?

My mother is sick , she has a mental problem it has been deleloping a time now , but we as her children didn't see it comming.
Now we are searching for a place to put her so she doesn't hurt her self ,but i can tell her what i'm doing and social services is comming to see how advanced is she in her sickness.
It's been a week since i left her alone because in a time of anger she beat my sister and when a interfear she slapt me too and that's why we left cause we could talk to her, she would listen to us.
She is thinking and told us so that we are the enemy and she shald destroy us and God shall help her cause we are the devil.
But what hurts is that 4 days later when i went to see her she forgot everthing that she told us that sunday but, she didn't forget that my sister yelled at her telling her that her couldn't beat us any more .
That is what she says that we are her children and she can do what ever she wants with us.

I have a friend who was last week diagnosed with stage four cancer, that started in her colon and spread to her ovaries, liver and parts of her stomach. She is a 23 year old young beautiful girl! How does this happen to such a young person? Cancer really is a silent killer - she had no idea until she collapsed in an airport last week. I would like to know what the survival chances are for stage 4 cancer victims?? =(
