I'd be glad to set you up with a blog here with us on Blogsplot for free. I could coach you a bit to show you how. We helped Dr. Engel that way, and several others. Just let me know! :o) Yes, the young man is my youngest son. He just got his degree in molecular biology this summer, and landed a sweet job with an Israeli company. You're the first person to tell me that he looks like me! *LOL* Actually, I'm between physicians now ... all the way around. My nephrologist just quit his job to become a hospitalist, and I hadn't settled on <u><a href="http://moof.blogsplot.net/2006/07/18/a-tale-of-two-offices/" rel="nofollow">a new PCP</a></u> yet. That's something I'm going to have to tend to before too much time goes by. *cringe* Thank you for your wishes, Nora. I hope you have a peaceful, warm New Year!

I had hardly touched a computer until I retired in 200l. Then,I only worked on geneaogy and old family photo's for a long time, and finally got e-mail about l year ago. So-I amstill relatively computer illiterate. I occasionally ask my grandchildren to help me out on something. I have really enjoyed your blog since I stumbled across it thru Dr. Anonymous. You are obviously so very bright and very diverse!! Is that darling young man related to you?? He looks like you!! I am relieved that you have nephrologist working with you - it scared me to think you were leaving everything up to your PCP. We are good for the Broad field stuff, but these specialist still definitely have their place in a lot of complicated stuff. I hope you continue to do well, and get to finish school and fulfill your every dream. Nora Hello again, Moof,

BP is relatively controlled, at the moment. In the beginning, it went as high as 280/160, so the 220/110 I was having earlier this year is not quite as scary. What I have is CRF and HTN. We're not sure which caused which. People at Lahey in Burlington MA did quite a bit of "fishing around" in there a few years ago, and didn't see a tumor, so I guess that I've escaped that one, anyway. Thanks for your concern. No, I'm not in med school. Had I been a smart girl back in the 70's, I would have gone to med school then, because that's the only field I've ever really been interested in. Instead I went to nursing school, and decided that nursing was not what I was looking for. I wish now I'd gone into medicine, but way too old to consider it at this point in time. What I'm going for is Medical Informatics, and I'm taking a roundabout way of getting there: Computer Information Systems, and then a certificate course in Biomedical Informatics. I started out with Health Information Technology, only to discover that they're really medical secretaries ... <em>not</em> what I'm looking for, so I just recently changed my major so that I could track into the field I want. I tried to follow your link to you blog ... but it's blank. Do you have a blog? Have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Nora, thank you for your comment.

Girl, get yourself to a Hypertension Clinic before you stoke. You might have hyperaldosteronism caused by an adrenal tumor. If so ,it's curable with surgery. (I am retired FP/Geriatrics.) I love your site. Are you in medical school or what? Nora Moof, I found your blog thru dr. anonymous. I am alarmed with your systolic BP. Girl, get yourself to a Hypertension Clinic before

Give us the systolic and not a word about dyastolic? Give it up Moof, how high is the dyastolic? Anyway, you are so busy I don't know how you do it all. I'm very proud of your 4.0 and I'm doing a dance for you, although with a knee replacement, my moves are a little one sided. Hopefully no one is looking. All joking aside Moof, I do worry about HTN. Take care of yourself! Please enjoy the next 2 weeks and have alot of fun, you deserve it! Oh moof, you are a trickster! Give us the systolic and not a word about dyastolic?
