(((Twins - here's a bit of energy to find that check!))) You posted while I was composing but I'm sure my good thoughts were why you found it!
I showered, touched up my pedicure and put fresh clear polish on my fingers, and rested for 45 minutes. Dh suggested the bagel shop for lunch. The "Feel's like" temp is 100 but the risk of precip was nil so I proposed biking the mile instead of walking. That way, it would be less energy.
Got there fine but felt weak so sat and had dh order for me. It is Wednesday which is buy 6, get 6 free day and we are down to 1 or 2 from last time, so I thought I'd get some but when it was time to come home, they were out of cinnamon raisin so I passed on it completely. This offer is every Wed until they cancel it so I can go next week. We got my lunch at 1/2 off because it was my 7th time there on this patron card. When you go for 30 times, you get a free dozen bagels as well.
Since I was woozy after the ride, I checked my BP and oxygen using my phone app. My blood pressure is up, my O2 is down (both have been for 36 hours now) so I will ask the doctor about that.
In the meantime, I'll start tracking more closely. I'm using my phone for both so should probably get my BP machine back from dd and ask to borrow ds's pulse oximeter to at least check it against my phone app. I have trouble with o2 normally which is why I was so surprised to see it at 98% while in the ambulance. It was 98% the next day and since then it is at 96% which is where I usually see it.
The bike ride home was a bit tougher (against a wind and no good route that doesn't have an element of danger. We went a bit farther and walked our bikes on a sidewalk to make things less dangerous for me.
I'm back in my recliner now. Not sleepy but woozy and a heart is pounding so I'll lay low for a bit.
Dinner for tonight is planned. Dh will be having pizza. Because of the bike ride, I'll be short steps today but won't walk over with him. It will be even hotter then. Actually, it didn't feel bad at all on the bike because it has got hazy and the bike makes a breeze. Plus we went really slow so really didn't exert ourselves.
