Friday....August 7th...2009

Day 3 at the Oregon coast....Day 2 for the kids and all...

Linda added some excitement yesterday by developing a severe headache....nothing seemed to tone it down...she went to bed early in hopes of solving the problem...to no avail....and then this morning she figured it out...high blood pressure...the Doctor had taken her off the blood pressure medication two weeks ago because of extremely low blood pressure....over the last two weeks it started creeping back up...last night and this morning it was alarmingly high....

Of course she didn't have any medication to deal with it...but was able to use Dave's ...it is different but once before when she ran out of hers on a trip, the doctor said to use his...and guess what...headache went away...most of it anyway....

Linda called the clinic and they prescribed exactly what Dave has been taking...as hers was too high of a dosage for what they wanted to try....

Anyway, everything is under control now....

Today was a day of exploring downtown......rides on bumper cars....carosel....etc....with a dinner by the campfire tonight..

Bumper cars! My absolute favorite. My parents couldn't get me out of them except when they ran out of money to give the man who controlled them. I guess that foreshadowed my interest in race cars.

So glad your common sense took you through the perils of the day and you realized the cause and remedy for the headache. You guys are amazing.
