My gracious me you were quick off the mark with the Human Satue of Liberty! I had not finished more than a couple of minutes when your comments came through.<BR/><BR/>I too have enjoyed lookling at your pictures, especially the one of the giant Stingray.<BR/><BR/>As a fellow high blood pressure sufferer I can relate to your symptoms very well indeed. As you may know I had a quadruple heart bypass in July 2007 and my cardiologist told me to avoid stress at all costs. He didn't exactly explain how to do that but I got the picture nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>I take statins to combat cholesterol, betablockers and ace inhibitors to reduce my B.P. and a daily Aspirin to thin my blood. I am currently under investigation for a possible prostate problem so more tablets seem likely soon. I feel like a tube of Smarties at times. I am sure if someone shook me I would rattle!!!!! However, I am still here and very grateful for that.<BR/><BR/>I know at least three ladies who married men 20 years their senior and whilst it matters little in middle age it can present problems in advancing years. Remember, the good Lord would never give you a cross he did not think you could bear. Think of all the happy times you have shared together and take each day as it comes. Keep positive. When I feel stressed I go for a long walk and admire the sea,trees, plants, birds, flowers, etc.etc. Exercise and fresh air is definitely good at relieving stress and I always feel much better afterwards. If the weather is bad a strong gin and tonic will also help to do the trick just occasionally!!!!<BR/><BR/>Keep smiling my dear friend. There is always someone far worse off than you or me.<BR/><BR/>Lots of fraternal love,<BR/><BR/>David. xx.Old Plodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792506614542220390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-1448698848601794772009-03-04T09:50:00.000+00:002009-03-04T09:50:00.000+00:00http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1159031/Mi...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1159031/Millions-elderly-patients-prescribed-unnecessary-pills-tick-box-culture-says-expert.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-27710690139167631542009-03-03T21:50:00.000+00:002009-03-03T21:50:00.000+00:00Yes we have mate, mine is directly attributable to...Yes we have mate, mine is directly attributable to stress at home hun.
