Recently, my dad has been having some problems with erratic blood pressure, so we called his cardiologist last week. We spoke to the nurse on call who we have found to be a very helpful service. She talked with his doctor, gave us some guidance for the weekend, and made an appointment to see him today. We always enjoy seeing this particular doctor. He is humorous without being annoying and realistic without being negative. He gives us a good medical explanation to help us understand what is going on and gives us more direction. When my dad takes his blood pressure, he does worry about it being high. That of course pushes up the number. The doctor explained that it takes on a snowball effect. He told my dad to try not to worry so much and even suggested saying a prayer while he was taking the reading. The bottom line is that my dad is likely reacting to a medication that was added last month. That has since been stopped, but will take some time to get out of his system. The doctor agreed again with my dad that in general he is in pretty good health and could very well live to be 100 years old. My dad felt better immediately. He followed his direction and this evening his blood pressure came down considerably.

I Found God today in a positive doctor’s visit and outcome for my dad.
