Kat, Kyle and Mike,

       I shouldn't have alarmed you guys. I take my bp with a home unit and
it varies drastically. Kyle, I am taking Lotrel, Isosorbide and a new one. Plus
the diazepam.
I am convinced it is stress related due to my daughter's situation, which is
nowhere
near resolution and a 3 hour presentation tomorrow for some drug counselors.
When these resolve the pressure will go back down. I know the dangers of "red
lining" on bp. Been there and done that! I pray I won't do it again. Your
concern touches me. It seems as I age I am more suseptible to minor stresses.
Also I must admit to having an unrealistic sense of entitlement because in my
mind I have done alot and don't need any more hassles. That attitude has got to
be modified.

Bobby
