A New Beginning.....

Donato went to the doctor for a physical today. He had been worried since going to see the doctor for his carpal tunnel. They informed him that his blood pressure was extremely high and they recommended that he go and see his general doctor for a check-up. Donato was very good and called his doctor to make an appointment for a complete physical, including blood work.

The results of his blood work should come back in several days.....and in the meantime Dr. Smith put Donato on Lisinopril, a HBP medicine. He took his first pill tonight.A new life starts for us today. We will begin to:

Start exercising daily.....

Watch what we eat.....

Eliminate unnecessary stresses in our life....

And be there for support for each other.

It's hard to admit that we're now "middle-aged" and that we cannot continue the bad habits we've had all of our lives. But we can do this.

I'll keep you posted with how we're doing on our new lifestyle.
