Missed your postings while you were absent. Glad to read you back and hope the family is doing well. 10 years old now?? How time flys or flies........ Regarding your blood pressure... I wish that I had the answer, but I don't. Besides the binder and morning exercise before getting out of bed in the morning, I am stump'd. Perhaps the guys at the Miami Project and Dr Green or Young may be in a better position to advise you on the research, regarding the blood pressure syndrome of those with spinal cord injuries. I'm hoping for you. Best Wishes In a message dated 8/1/2008 9:08:45 P.M.
