I have been checking my blood pressure more often, and have found that it is running high such as 175/90 201/100 etc. I realize I need to monitor it closely and keep a record to show my doctor. I am a Type 2 Diabetic and know that high blood pressure can have an affect on my kidneys.

child’s Congenital Heart defect. Surgery was in 1957. I’m still alive yet the surgeon said I would never make it. I’m still here but headed for assisted living which is very expensive. God has a plan, I just do not know what it is yet.
