Quick update from yesterday...
BP was down slightly
135/83
172/68
130/75
My urine was out of whack...usually I would have grilled Doc Bowtie for the exact information I know it was 30- so that told me no protein but he did mention I am swollen...DUH. So no Idea what the 30 is if you know please enlighten me I was just so relieved to hear I could roam free (but no more work) and that I could go two weeks (unless BP goes way up or I hit that wall we don't talk about) that I didn't pay attention to the rest of the stuff. Except that glorious heartbeat, that I could listen to for hours.
My memory is fuzzy, but I think I remember that the threshold number for protein in urine is much higher than that, over 100 of whatever the units are. I just did a quick google search that suggested the number is 150 (somethings per liter I think). I did 3 24-hour catches while on hospital bedrest for high BPs and swelling. So glad that you're able to roam free and that the bottom number is staying under 90. Hoping hard that it stays down for the count.

I'm so glad that you're free, even if it is a "sort of" free!

Also, for urine measurements, there is a special kind of fasting that needs to happen before the test, and if I recall correctly, things like baked potatoes or soda, even days before, can change the results. This was a decade ago, I don't remember very well. <3 Glad you are feeling free.
