My weight and blood pressure are both much higher there than at home. You seem to be in very good health whether you believe it or not :o) By the way, I was took off of my Actonel, which is what I was taking for osteoporosis. I was so happy, when tested my numbers were so much better and there does seem to be a problem when you take that kind of medicine for so many years. I wish you good health till your next visit!Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-90226651870577020792011-05-29T02:59:47.344-05:002011-05-29T02:59:47.344-05:00So funny!

I'm sure you'll be playing in the NBA by your next exam.

I've been over-indulging a bit myself lately, although I don't have any problems with my weight. My height was measured at the hospital last year. I'm glad your Dr said that the machines can be wrong, because I've been 5 ft 2 all my adult life, but the nurse told me that I was 5 ft and half an inch!! I couldn't believe it. I'm sure I'm not THAT short! Hee Hee! Well, it looks as if it is all good news - well, for a while anyway!!!Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-61595137387840375482011-05-27T23:25:56.332-05:002011-05-27T23:25:56.332-05:00Very funny, Linda!
