Well I did something stupid Friday

I took my medicine twice. I have never done that before. I separate it out each week in a pill dispenser for each day of the week. Friday was a particularly hectic day workwise and I was distracted and took Friday and Saturday dose of all my meds while I was talking to a colleague on the phone. I realize about 15 minutes after I did this. It was awful. The worst of it is I take blood pressure meds because of my stroke and my torn vertebral artery I have to be very careful with my BP. I am not supposed to let it get too high or too low either way could be a stroke for me. I've been told that if my BP gets below 90/60 to go to the ER. I had just gotten out of the hospital last week for another health issue I am going to need surgery for (will be a couple months out) and I did not want to go back to the ER. So bloody hell I spent all day Friday and Saturday hovering right at the 90/60 but not below. I probably should have gone in but I didn't I rode it out. Scared but I made it. Today my blood pressure is back to a safe range but Damn it I am so mad at myself for not paying closer attention. I am going to try to be a lot more mindful about slowing down and not letting work distract me when I take my medicine. I was supposed to start a new medication for the surgery I need and I couldn't because of my big mistake. On top of it all with all the anxiety I had this weekend I couldn't work and I really needed to. Tomorrow is going to be hell. Any ways if you've read this far thanks for listening to me reprimand myself for being distracted

@TryingtoLava that reminds of a time when I was younger standing at the entry she said ok close it, and I did now open it, I did , close it again and I did she said it's a door that's what it does. Do it again... Blah blah blah just another boring day at school
