Positive side of this whole not smoking thing.

So positivity is not my strong suit.  I have a friend who says "Always thumbs up never thumbs down"  and to that my response has been,  I'm "pessimistic, pissed off Sherri".  However, today I feel a thumb wanting to go up, I know, I must be coming down with something.  Last week I went to the doctors because of  pterygium, which is a growth in the eye and when they did my blood pressure and heart rate, BP: 120/70 HR: 65, hmm I said to myself, then the other night I went to the ER for sciatica and BP:168/89 (I was in a lot of pain) and HR: 68, then today I went to docs, for follow up to sciatica (meaning I can't feel my right leg) and BP: 120/80 HR:63.   I realize you probably don't see anything special, it all looks pretty good, right?  Well yes it does, my blood pressure has always been good, it is only high when I'm in pain, I don't think it even raises when I'm screaming at my kids (I mean if I was  that type of parent), and my heart rate in the 60's is definitely good.  What you don't know is that for years my resting heart rate has always been in the 80's.  Honestly, I thought it was just genetics, I figured I had a high heart rate, no big deal, and at the first doc appt. I thought it could be a fluke, but now three times I'm figuring not a fluke.  Yay for a good heart rate! Moral to the story apparently cigarettes can harm you.
Okay well enough of thumb up Sherri, pessimistic pissed off Sherri still has a lot to say.
