Never Can Say Good Bye Gal

Whilst Tooli was in Glasgow saying Goodbye to Pals, to who she had said goodbye to in Edinburgh, merely two days before -(and one of them was one she is going with ); I was wandering about trying to be "normal",whilst wearing a Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitor. 

"Don't fret about it", said the nurse, as my hand turned blue from the pressure while she tested it. 

And so it continued, every twenty minutes, until 1010, when it reverted to twice in one hour, with in five minutes of each other.  Right through the flipping night. 

Everytime it buzzed, I could feel my blood pressure climbing - by the time it inflated twice I was ready for murder.  

When I stomped in to the hospital to return it; I told them; this is the most ridiculous method of testing blood pressure ever...   It has stressed me out beyond belief. 

Take your stupid cuff, and stop making me stressed. 

"You've done really well to keep it on for 24 hours -  most people give up after a couple of hours". 

WHy?? Why? Why do people do this?   It was the same when I went for the bottom scope thing - the nurse said to me "Did you drink all of the Special" drink?   "Yes", I said, "You told me to".   The nurse says "you'd be surprised the number of people who come in and say, I took a couple of drinks of it, but then I started having diarrhea so I stopped!  THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT!

I never break the rules.  "You should drink this", and I Do. 

"You should wear this", and I do. 

"you should jump off that cliff".   But I Don't do that.  

That would be ridiculous
