Hi all,
First of all, consider this a "kind of" hiatus. Most of you have probably already noticed my lack of activity lately. In large part the past month has worn me out, and I believed it was due to a bad cold. I've found out in the past few days that the problem is more sinister, and my lethargy as well as grumpiness and lack of enthusiasm (and recurring illnesses) is due to the fact that I, like my mum and my grandfather before her, suffer from a rather extreme level of high blood pressure.
I went to the doctor the other day to see about my cold and found out the cause of all of my problems is this particular issue. I need to do my best to bring it down and soon, or, unfortunately like my mum, I am very susceptible to strokes. I'm on high alert for them, and need to be very careful about stresses in my life. I'm certain that Kyle would seek to make contact with at least one of you should the worst happen. He has the password to my facebook and computer, and has instructions to let important people know that something has happened to me.
For the most part I'm allright. I'm on medication and I'll be working to bring down my blood pressure by excerising daily and doing all I can to correct my diet. I appreciate thoughts from you all, and I'll be looking forward to when I can tell you the danger is over.
Lots of love,
White
