Celebrating My Birthday

I have much to be grateful for.  In March, I found I couldn't cope with the stress of unraveling my dad's house and selling  it without blood pressure meds. I also have a bit of a heart murmur due to narrowing of the the arterial valve. However, the nurse told me not to worry to keep moving.  I took lisinipril and am one of the few people who cough as a side effect.  I had just renewed the prescription and tried to tough it out, but with 14 tablets left called and asked for a different med.  I couldn't handle the violent cough that disturbed my sleep, my work and caused several other problems.  Now I am taking chlorthalidone and after 2 weeks the cough is mostly gone. And the chlorthalidone works better, my blood pressure is lower.   I enjoy working with Dory, the mini horse I lease and I ride Hope, my mare on Tuesday mornings.  I get together with friends on Wednesday for dinner.  My granddaughter is the sunshine of my life and we have happy adventures.  I like to walk my two dogs although they are ten years old and have slowed down.  I enjoy working at the flower shop.  I do need some time away by myself and am looking forward to a vacation in October and November (by myself).  I am celebrating my birthday with a cookout at the house.  My son, daughter and her family will be coming.  Happy happy birthday to me!
