raising willow… and dexter!

So I’ve been looking at other ways to lower my blood pressure, as well as the medication. I wouldn’t say it’s working that well at the moment, I’m still getting readings of 130-150/91-105. Tonight while A was supervising the children in the bath, I reminisced about my blood pressure during Willow’s pregnancy. It was a steady average of 120/70. Those were the days.

I have been resting a lot, where I can. Bed at 8:30pm, although I’ve still got the laptop. One of the students at work is a reflexologist and she has given me a little map of my feet and where to rub. I think an all over foot rub from A would suffice.

I don’t smoke, so I can’t give that up. I rarely drink, but I’m willing to start if that would help. I could eat healthier, I could exercise more.

I could eat more garlic. I could try deep breathing. I could eat prunes, melons and bananas. Perhaps not with garlic though.
