So my blood pressure is high enough that my doctor told me NOT to exercise. He said, "Exercise is good! Just not yet." The diuretic brought it down by ten points, but still not low enough. So, I'm getting another BP med. I'm a little surprised, but I guess I wasn't just whining when I felt like exercising was too hard and made me feel like shit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's...almost impressive, if it weren't a little freaky. Yikers. Hypertension is bullshit, man.

Punishingly Intricate
There may well have been wallpaper over the plaster and under the paint. sara, if you need help fixing that's right up my friend Brian's alley.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Ooh, good point. I don't know why I would assume that someone would actually take the wallpaper down before painting, except that I thought that's what you're supposed to do?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Here's hoping you can safely and comfortably exercise soon, Zen.
but I guess I wasn't just whining when I felt like exercising was too hard and made me feel like shit.
I felt something similar when I got my neck x-rayed. Like, oh of course you are in constant pain and always have a headache. Because I wasn't just a whiny, fragile flower, it's legit all messed up.

I get my first mammo and my first well-person blood draw in 8 years this week. Trying to be healthy is squeezy and pokey.

Zen, I hope the meds/BP/exercise ratios are figured out quickly and with minimal aggravation.
Strix, better than bitey and scratchy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Zen. Hope the meds work.
I always get that "See, I'm not malingering!" feeling when I get a diagnosis. Who I'm proving anything to I don't know.
I really like my time traveler theory.
That does seem the simplest explanation. Be careful about causing paradoxes, just in case.

What, just randomly? You were sitting at the breakfast table and *boom* rogue plaster panel? Weird.
No, it's a section of wall damaged by ice dams a few years back. Idea was to sand down and skim coat. Sanding down yielded chunks popping free and soon was clear all of it has separated and was vertical by sheer miracle.
New plan: mount concrete board (Sheetrock too thick unless I was doing the whole damned wall) and use patching techniques to fill in the gaps between board and good plaster. And then skim coat that. Once I figure out how to anchor the concrete board, because this isn't cement over the brick, it's over lathe. Brick is somewhere back ther, but no idea where.)
Acquired a jigsaw and have the board all cut out.
But right now? I'm just sitting on my ass and shoving the first protein of the day in my face.
