A Thai day-bed, close up

I have spent most of the evening watching TV on the sofa. I managed to get, via my own surgery's Anima app, an urgent appointment with a doctor today. 

Decided that, since my own attempts to reduce my blood pressure have not been successful over the last eleven years, that perhaps I ought to give medication, a try. I cannot risk having a stroke, heart attack, or worst of all, vascular dementia, which is what my mother has. And of course I cannot carry on having headaches, because I cannot lie around on a sofa like Elizabeth Barrett-Browning for the rest of my life. Nor even sit on a chair forever. The attraction would soon pall. 

Whatever is causing it, I've got to break free of this cycle. Even if it means (temporarily?) taking drugs.
