I don't know if I can blame lower temperatures or my period -- which just ended -- but I have been on some kind of "sugary" binge this past week! I ordered a blondie mix that I received maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago and of course I had to make it! They are so good. Then, I finished the remainder of my low-carb lemon ice cream. Then I ate all the rest of my keto chocolate cake. With fewer baked goods left, maybe I will stop gaining weight or gain less. I must first make the promise that I will stop making keto or low-carb desserts for a while!
My blood pressure (BP) is still good these days. I use an Omron monitor that saves my measurements in its own phone app via Bluetooth. The thing is, the app uses the American standards for BP and counts as "Elevated BP" or "Stage 1 hypertension" some BP readings that are considered normal by Canadian doctors.
I was finally able to reach my mom. She has to stay at the hospital for a little while and is very unhappy about it. She cries often but I am pretty helpless at this point. It is very complicated for visits (not allowed every day) and I will have to make sure that my mom designated allowed visitors. She gets confused very easily so if she did not say anything to the appropriate hospital staff, visits will be impossible. At least I am still able to call her. I hope her broken bone gets better sometime this month so that she can go back to her residence where visits are easier even though masks and hand disinfectant are mandatory at the entrance.
