just got home from hospital and found velvet rose w/ 3bloom

Hi all , just got got out of the hospital again had a mini stroke 6/13 ,if you all recall I had a stroke 4-16 easter Sunday of this year.... well my blood presure got out of control 6 weeks , went to the doctor he doubled my meds from 80 mg to 160 mg , last tuesday I awoke from a nap, with weakness on my left side and slurred speech went to er and they said I was having a TIA( mini stroke ) I just got home about an hour ago and am now taking 320 mg for the high blood presure, right now my chances of having a massive stroke are at 95%.
Any way, thats how the past 8 days have been with me.
Got home and My velvet rose has 3 blooms I just got this brug 2 1/2 months ago and axle rose is about to bloom.
will post pictures as soon as I charge my batteries....

Gosh Elva, I am so glad to hear that you are alright. I hope they can get your meds right so that you are really stable.

I will look forward to seeing pictures of your Velvet rose. This is one that I have never grown.

Glad you are home and I hope your Drs. can get your BP regulated and keep it that way. Do you have a BP monitor at home so that you can check it yourself daily?

Yes I do am keeping a log for my dr.

will see him again in 2 weeks unless some else happens and I need to see him sooner
