I Feel So Unnecessary

Cille had her six month check-up at the Heart Center on Friday. Her blood pressure was a little high and the nurse practitioner wanted to up her blood pressure medicine. But recently her blood pressure meds were reduced because it was too low. I told the NP that and she said, " I don't want this to be the case of too many cooks in the fire, one and then the other switching her medicine back and forth." Of course I had to pop off with, "We don't want that either." So, the NP said she would let her family doctor adjust Cille's meds accordingly. THANK YOU, Nurse Practitioner lady for doing that because she's had doctors in the past that would switch her meds back and forth. It just added confusion for me and my mom and believe me we stay confused enough as it is. So we appreciate your restraint.

As I was getting ready to leave with my grandmother for her doctor visit my grandfather asked if I was going to take him to the store when I got back. I told him yes and my grandmother retorted back with- "Well, I ain't gonna rush myself." Everything was fine, her doctor was new and Cille seemed to like her- she did take her off some of her medicine and told us that sometimes older people are put on too many pills. This pleased my grandmother and Mom. I could be mistaken but I tend to think people are overmedicated.  After the appointment I told Cille this- Me: The doctor asked how we're related. She said me, you, and Mom looked similar. Cille: Did you tell her how we're connected? Me: Yes. Cille: Well, I thought I was the best looking.
