Revenge of the knee

 

The knee is better now.  So is the blood pressure and racing pulse.

 

The steroid shot that made the knee so much better so fast…  It hardly ever has any side effects…  Except when it makes your blood pressure 166/93 and pulse rate 119.  Light-headedness and a headach to go with it.  That was enough to prompt a call to the doctor for a follow-up.  The doctor advised us to give it some time and check back if it wasn’t better.

 

My pulse rate this morning was 56, less than half the rate Judy’s was at its high.  Happily, Judy’s pulse rate is now back down to 72.  That’s about normal for her.
