This morning it rained a little, so the ground was wet and the air misty, not really raining, but wet everywhere. We went to breakfast and then read the paper, and considered whether or not to go to the water exercise. We decided not to, and then later at lunch we learned that no one from the class went either. We would be wet anyway, but nobody wanted to exercise in the rain. Besides, it would have made us hurry to get our showers afterward and still get ready for the limo ride to Vista for my eye measurement. We did get to the Clinic early, but I was able to get my blood pressure taken by the staff. Dr. Donahoe wanted their reading, I guess because he didn't trust our equipment. My blood pressure is higher than it should be. I think that happened because five months ago when we moved, and I got pneumonia and went to the hospital, one of my medications got lost, one that regulates blood pressure. I found it yesterday, and today I called the Doctor's office to find out if I should just start it again. They said yes, and report back to them in a week with my blood pressure reading. It took only about 15 minutes to measure my eyes for the cataract, and on the way back here the driver didn't take the freeway, but instead took us on a nice, long ride over roads and neighborhoods we'd never seen before. It was a nice trip that we hadn't expected. We got back in time to attend a lecture on how to prevent falls. I needed that!
