I am Groot

True, it was a gp who told me I had to come off tapentadol

Well, tomorrow is my first board meeting as a trustee! I’ve timed it perfectly (not) as it’s followed by the annual strategy meeting so I’m going to be there from 9.30 - 4.00 ! Im looking forward to it but well aware I’m going to be exhausted.

In other news, Jess has got her first ever job at the local bowling alley

I bet Jess was bowled over (pun intended thank me later )

Wow! Yesterday was a long day but i really enjoyed it. The charity really needs a shake up so it’s going to be interesting involved in all of that. I’m very tired and ache everywhere so today will be a quiet one

Well done, I'm glad all went well at the trustees meeting Paula, they're very luck to have you on board

Hope the "quiet one" involves rest and pacing?!

I slept for 3 hours today, Jess woke me up when she got home from college. Obviously needed it lol. I’m seeing my best friend tomorrow, haven’t been able to see her for a few weeks so I’m looking forward to it .

[Suzi]

Good! Don't overdo it though please.

[Paula]

No I won’t. Of course, I’m also on new meds (Doxazosin) which cause drowsiness and ‘lack of strength’ so I suspect it’s going to be a few days before I adjust. It has, though, already brought down my BP so it’s totally worth it

[Suzi]

Hooray! So glad that it's bought the pressure down!
Have fun today lovely

Wow that's good, it took many, many months to get my BP meds right.

[Paula]

It is for me too, I was diagnosed in October. This is a second drug they’re adding to amlopidine in the hopes it’ll be the bit extra needed itms

[Suzi]

How you doing?

[Paula]

I’m ok. My best friend has been over today so that always cheers me up (especially as she came bearing gifts )
