24hr blood pressure!

I got the call on Friday for my appointment to do my 24hr blood pressure test so Today of my amazement having an appointment so soon I went and got hooked up today. I think the machine isn't working so in the morning I will call and find out what I need to do like take the long drive across town and go back in for a new one or if I'm okay. I kind of figured this test would be simple like any in office blood pressure machine going off every 15 minutes. My daughter thinks I'm broken and thinks it's weird I have to wear this cuff on my arm. Every time I do anything Doctor related I have a lot of guilt for my daughter. Half of her life I've been sick and I know she's smart but she understands her mother is sick and most of the time I know it's not in my control but she's 3. Our children don't go to the Doctor's office as much anymore if we can get the hubby's mother to come over to babysit. So she's not exposed to the many of Doctor appointments as much as she used to but she's full aware where I'm going. I would lie to her but that's not helping her in the long run and my pregnancy nurse advised us when I was pregnant with the son to just be up front and give a basic explanation what's going on and don't make it sound like a big deal. So doing this I hope it's not affecting her like I think in my guilty head sometimes. I'm hoping this is causing the severe fatigue, dizziness, fainting spells and the headaches. I learned from Thursdays neurology appointment this is something different from the diabetes and anemia. Fixing this new medical problem should help and I'm slowing understanding the Anemia will be something I will have to live with for along time. I'm taking the procrit once a week and this drug keeps my cbc readings in the range the hematologist likes so the anemia is stable for now. I just don't like the uncertainty with all these medical problems but so far tests have come back normal. I am blessed I don't have any form of cancer. Life is good. I'll write about more stuff later. Dinner is ready! Take care, Peace!
