How to lower your blood pressure

1. Go to doctor for some scary follow-up testing. Learn blood pressure is topping out dangerously. Question what the hell do they expect during scary follow-up testing? Also question why nurse needs to touch you to take pulse when you can hear it out loud so easily right now.
2. Get dose of emergency medication.
3. Go to old friend's house for long relaxing walk with dog and long relaxing talk with old friend.
4. Have encounter with Death-Ray Llamas from Hell.
5. Spend time in garden with old friend picking yummy beans, peas, lettuce, mesclun, cabbage, carrots, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, parsley and raspberries.
6. Allow adrenalin (from encounter with DRLfH) to evaporate or whatever it does.
7. Have old friend (who is also nurse) take blood pressure and find it is a mere shadow of its former self at 112/70.
8. Take home yummy beans, peas, lettuce, mesclun, cabbage, carrots, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, parsley and raspberries, and have dinner!
