After getting two hours of sleep I woke up with a very dry mouth and pounding heart. And a strange little light flashing from an unknown source. Sitting up I drank some water and the light source changed. Going into the bathroom it followed behind me. It’s the electronic patch on the back of my right arm, delivering medicine and slowly strobing to let me know it’s working.
The racing heartbeat is certainly from mountain of med’s coursing through my veins, but mostly the Prednisone, an immunosuppressant. Side effects: loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, etc. After gauging my blood pressure this morning I can see it going down just by drinking more water. The doctor surprised me yesterday saying I must drink at least one gallon a day! Cheers.

Bob You are in my prayers! As I wander out here in the desert with some of the pokiest and frankly ugliest plants I have ever seen, I ask myself….why do I think going to garden club tomorrow is a good idea? The only answer is I saw a tiny vegetable garden in a 3 by 3 foot patch of ground near what folks around here call, “the park model”. This lovely garden full of tomatoes and peppers gives me hope! Meanwhile, I enjoy all your plant pics and jovial dialog on Facebook. Big hugs to you!
