Well, my BP was 150/100 today. Still high (but hey, I'm taking it as an improvement!) - I had to get another blood test today for cholesterol, and funnily enough after walking to the surgery and an hour hanging around, I was dehydrated and she couldn't get any blood out. The are then was all swollen so she refused to take blood from the same site, and had to take it from the bicep. All I can say is OUCH. I'm a wee bit bruised LOL.

Got to go back on Thursday again to get the cholesterol results. I really, really don't want to go on tablets, so I hope it's getting lower (though I think expecting a change in 4 days is a bit much, so I'm going to make sure he gives me the month to work at things).

Thanks for your support (thanks again Jen for the yummy recipes!) - I actually managed to go to a pub dinner with 15 people last night and stick to 2 cranberry juices and a greek salad. Woo me!
