Lost a little. Again, no dramatic change in my diet, it may be due to the breakfast I skipped one morning when I was not hungry and in a hurry. I did not make any cake this week; this may have helped!
Last Saturday's MRI was an easier ordeal for me than the one I underwent in May. It was still uncomfortable but it actually felt like it lasted 30 minutes. The drive to and back from the hospital and the time waiting before the MRI were what felt like a really long time.
My blood pressure did go slightly up in the beginning of the week, but it got back down after a couple of days.
Maybe I was on to something with my initial suspicion that my body had a reaction to sartans (type of one of the BP meds I am taking). I did not see a reduction in the swelling around my eyes when I cut my sartan and substituted the PreCardix (natural ACE inhibitor that did not work for me) for it, a couple of months ago. Now that I take half the sartan dose I used to take -- and doctor-approved this time -- I have recently noticed that the swelling seems to have mostly subsided. So I was not delusional, I just needed to give it some time. At least I am still able to control my BP most of the time with my current med dosage.
I am also happier these days became my mom feels better. She spent so much time at the hospital in the last few weeks that it depressed her, especially with the COVID-related restrictions. Now that she is back in her residence, she feels much better and it is also easier to visit her. Even calling her is less of a challenge since she is back at her home.
