wait and see

So my husband has been on his medication for diabetes.  He also recently started a different blood pressure medicine.  However, today when he took his BP, it was very low.  He wanted to call his cousin who had been a nurse before she retired.  I countered by asking if she was his doctor.  No, but she’s a nurse.  And I repeated my original question.  He called his doctor’s office and was told to reduce the amount of diabetes medication.  But he doesn’t feel good and he went to bed early.  I’ve lived with him long enough to know when he really doesn’t feel good.  So I’m a bit concerned right now.  I’ll just do the wait and see.  Earlier today he asked for a salad, which I was more than happy to make.  He just never eats salads.  I could eat some type of green salad every day.  Same goes for soup.  His appetite has altered a great deal in the last week.  Either he’s not hungry or nothing tastes that great.  He doesn’t have any Covid type symptoms, so I’m assuming it’s his medication.  I’m glad he’s not eating the massive quantities of junk food, but the low BP is concerning.

And in other family news, there isn’t any.  My daughter isn’t communicating with me.  Neither is my son.  I’m assuming they would prefer not to bother speaking to me because that might mean I might mention something about their father, and neither wants to deal with him.  My son has cut his father out of his life entirely.  I should be grateful he’s willing to talk to me at all.  And now that our daughter has moved out of state, she is rarely in communication.  And what she does share is very short and limited.  This is not how I imagined my life would be.  happy new year.
