Hey Phil,
I really appreciate this testimony. I'm finding myself
having to begin with a medical issue of my own that has really caught
me off guard. When I went in for my annual check up about three
weeks ago, my blood pressure was a little high. I was asked to keep
coming in for checks and, basically, it is bounsing
around. Yesterday, I had another exam and it was really high, to the
point of scary. As they were asking me questions, I lead a pretty
healthy life, I don't drink soft drinks, or much junk food and I walk
about three miles a day, so there isn't much I can do, but take more
blood tests and continue to work on losing weight, which I hope will
help, but now, it looks like I will have to be using a blood pressure
medication. I've always dreaded the day when I would have to start
taking drugs to stay, "normal," whatever that is. Since I deal with
a lot of older people who seem to practically take drug cocktales, it
doesn't look pleasant. I had always figured that that day, of drugs,
was a long way off for me. Thanks for the reminder of Jesus. Of
course, I know that, but it is nice to here it out loud, from someone else.
Kathy whose hoping that I won't need to be on it for long
