Relaxed

Dad's been off of chemo, but they keep him on the steroids which has made the blood pressure elevated. He is working on relaxation techniques from Dr. Herbert Benson (thanks Ellen!), and these techniques are clinically validated to lower blood pressure. We think they are indeed working, the blood pressure came down from the 190's to the most recent reading of 155/80.

It was so effective that even Sweet P was knocked out temporarily. It's been a good day-after chemo, and our fingers are crossed for an early release.
