Almost back to normal...

Hey friends. I haven't written for a couple of weeks, because of many reasons. It started two weeks ago when I had an episode of extremely high BP. It went up to 248/146. Yes, I did feel terrible. I ended up in the ER and was kept overnight for observations. It took from about 8 pm until 6 am for them to get it back down to normal using a nitrogen drip IV. I finally started feeling better when the BP came back to normal. Since then I have been taking it easier... at least until a few days ago when I finished stacking my wood. It had been split but the last 1/2 cord or so still needed to be stacked. It took me from 10am to 5:30 pm on day to get it done. I took a few "drink" breaks but finally got it done. The next day I was too sore to move. That lasted until yesterday when I finally could move without wincing. Today I only did small things, like paint an address sign for my porch and put away some things that I bought at the store yesterday such as toothpaste, etc. I put the perishable things away last evening after I got home from shopping. I actually went into town to get some prescriptions for some of my medications that I am running out of...but they weren't there (the prescriptions or the doctor) so I wasted the gas. I have a follow up appointment on Friday so will hopefully get them then. I have avoided typing on my computer because of the pain in my R. shoulder, which I think is caused from being on the computer too much. I have been researching coupons and other things on the computer the last two days. Today I stayed off the computer until just now (it is now 2 am). I need to get to sleep but am not sleepy yet. I hate not being able to sleep. Does this sleeplessness come with menopause? I've heard that it does but I am the only person that I know with this problem. Have you experienced it? Please let me know that I am not alone. I am going to go read to see if it will make me sleepy. Good night all. Love CJ
