Yeah it all seems okay. She was not too worried. We are adjusting meds. No blockages, everything is... mild. Blood pressure is the main thing to focus on. Mine has historically been decent but of late not so decent and it needs to be better than decent now, so that is where we're focusing. But it's ok!

Somewhat related, there's a new show on Netflix about teenage ghost hunters and the music supervisor used a lot of post-punk and it's kind of great. Lockwood & Co.
