Saw the GP today.

My blood pressure is up. There's a shock. We tweaked meds, and I go back next week to check it again. It needs to be controlled for surgery, but I think we'll manage that. And I did get an increase in pain meds. I'll see over the next couple of days if that helps. Reducing my pain levels will probably help with the BP too. She sympathized with my diagnosis, but there isn't much she can do except take care of the background things, so she did. Still waiting for the MRI to be scheduled.
