Today my mom came over and I painted. I was leaning forward and must have unknowingly/obviously unintentionally pinched my catheter. My mom noticed that I wasn’t urinating like I usually do, I was starting to get splotchy and I was shaking/spasming for absolutely no reason. If you know me and spinal cord injuries in general, you know that’s usually a sign something is wrong. I wasn’t feeling right so we took my blood pressure. 202/128! Definitely one of the highest I ever remember having. I took my blood pressure pill and it brought it down to 89/48. A little low but it feels a lot better than being too high. It’s been a couple of hours and my blood pressure has stabilized at 103/69. Just another interesting
day with a spinal cord injury. It’s not just not being able to move my arms and legs which some people fail to recognize or know. You would think that would be enough but I guess not! Good thing I am as tough as nails. It is NHL’s opening night and the Penguins are on TV! I’m going to go watch and enjoy my evening cocktail. Hope you all are well! Thank you for following! 🙂
