What won’t keep my blood pressure down?

A month or so ago I was put on blood pressure medicine by my doctor. My schedule and hours I work and random stress related to all of it I am sure is the reason. I don't have a normal 9-5 job, my work day does not end when I leave the building for the day. It is what it is and I love what I do!

When I got the prescription filled my previous prescription provider said that my medicine was not one of the "preferred" and it cost $55 for basically 30 pills or a month's supply. We have a new prescription provider so I decided to look up the meds I am on now to see if it is "preferred" and if it wasn't, I was going to call my doc and have him prescribe one that does make the list. I got on the website for the prescription provider and saw that "Bystollic" is a preferred brand so I was happy that I would not have to call my doc and switch meds and all that business.

I printed that list and took it with me to CVS and they informed me the total was the same as the previous month. I had them check to see if they updated my info and they had done that. I tried to show them the list I had printed from the provider website and they said I had to call my provider. While waiting for my $55 prescription to be filled I called the provider and told them what was going on and they said they would have to call me back.

No matter the outcome, when I had my last surgery I was given a prescription for Vicodin and those 30 tablets were about $6! $6 for pain killers, a controlled substance that some people abuse, re-sell etc. I have blood pressure medicine that helps with daily quality of life and its $50! I would think the meds that have a high street value and are a risky for abuse would have a higher premium than simple blood pressure medicine.

Another recovery and

So here is a week since umbilical hernia surgery. Getting adjusted and back to the normal routine of things. This will be the 3^rd surgery I have had since I turned 40. It does make ya think about taking things slower as ya get older. I look back on the way I poisoned my system in the 90's and know my health could be a lot worse. I hope this will be it for a while so with enough praying and luck I should be ok.

And

I read where singer Aaron Carter said he drank and did coke with Michael Jackson. MJ is dead and can't answer to this claim, people have not cared about Aaron Carter since his voice changed and now his brother Nick is back to work with the Backstreet Boys/New Kids tour so it sounds like this dude needs some press! I guess he now has said those quotes were wrong or whatever. Dude, you are washed up. Maybe you can be a roadie for Justin Bieber.

Everyone is pissed at the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial. The jury made the final call so be pissed at them and no one else. We can only hope that she messes up like OJ Simpson did years after he was sent free the 1^st time and some judge and jury will throw the book at her and even the score.

I wish I knew what was going on with the NFL lockout. Working for the Colts for the past 9 years the only thing I have anything to do with is the music you hear in the stadium. I wish I had insight on the "inner workings" but I don't! Boooo!

If you like hard core rap like Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne then please go to the many of the great Hip Hop clubs in the city. Wait, you don't wanna go and you tell me "it's too ghetto, it's too thug"? Well, don't come to where I work asking for stuff you know is the complete opposite of what you are hearing. I keep it fun and simple!

That is all for now, carry on..
