Yikes! I'm glad you're feeling better, Floorist. I hope that doesn't happen again. Dollar tree sells 1 gallon bottles of water that we buy and drink regularly. It reminds me I need to drink more water. My mother and brother have to drink a ton of it.
What did you do today?

Glad to see you are OK.. I have to drink more water to.. Nurse complains every 3 months when i get my blood work done .. Drinking Tea , or soda don't get it ..
Don't buy one of those that you take it at home ..

I would keep a eye on it ..

I've read that's low.... seriously. I don't know what's good or bad. I'll have so see where I'm at. I have a BP cuff around here somewhere, I'll dig it out.
Glad you're doing OK Rusty.
New meds?
If it doesn't come from the tap, I don't drink it.
I'm terrible about not drinking water during the day. I may open a pop or juice drink, but by the end of the day I realize I haven't taken but a few sips.............. for 40 years I keep forgetting to drink water or whatever. Can't explain it, just happens that way.
Highup, my tap water has too much sediment in it. Comes out brownish and when I drink too much of it I get kidney stones-- and they suck.
Ideal blood pressure is to have systolic (top #) between 90 to 120 and diastolic between 60 to 80.
My bp used to be on the low side, like 70/40 but now it is normal to pre-hypertension levels (although, I suffer from "white coat syndrome" for bp readings).
When I took my bro to the ER for his tooth ache, his bp was 210/90 or something like that.

You ever had your drinking water tested to see if it is safe to drink. I presume it is a well.

Yes. My water comes from a well. Years ago before he passed, my father was taking a microbiology class for fun and he tested the water and said it was safe (in terms of organisms). But I know it has dirt, iron, etc.
Nick, it does turn the toilet a reddish brown. Inside of the toilet tank is disgusting and I have to clean sediment out of the flush valve assembly from time to time. Although, I think the wax seal on the toilet is currently leaking but my body is not in good enough shape to lift the toilet by myself so I'm going to have to get some help from a friend or two to change it out. I also need to take apart the lavatory P-trap to clean it. The stopper had to be removed because something inside the lever to raise and lower it broke so I think something fell down the sink and clogged it.
I'll have to look for the iron out again. I wish I could put some sort of inline filter between the supply line and the toilet.
I'm currently waiting for my mother to wake up so I can take her to the store to pick up her prescriptions and some other stuff. We can be twinsies in riding carts.
My brother is actually cleaning his room because he wants to start DDP's yoga program. He's also excited at the prospect of the remodeling where the laundry room would be just outside his door (instead of around the corner in the cramped space) and is looking forward to that being done so there will be more space.
Editing to add photos bc I'm bored.
Left foot is slightly greenish still (mark on my 2nd toe is a permanent discoloration from a time when I stubbed it years ago)
Right foot is still pretty ugly and multicolored.
I'm keeping it compressed. It looks worse than it feels.

What's wrong with terlet water? My dog loves it!
Nick, we never drink the water without boiling it first. I need to get new filters for the water purifiers we have lying around. They go fast.
Havasu, that reminds me that I'm glad my mother's little dog is too small to drink from the toilet.

That's beautiful Rusty. Congratulations.
