Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 06, 2022

that number a good one?

I’m overweight and I’m 110/50.

You’re a plugger if you test your blood pressure at home?

120 over 80? I don’t believe him at that plugger age. I do well to get 140 over 90. (Hint for pluggers: Relax and sit quietly for 15 minutes, and you should get a lower blood pressure reading.)

Now if I only had a spouse to yell down the hall to ;-)

103 over 5………

probably only when I get a good number…. the high number is quietly noted.

My current “primary” thinks measuring my blood pressure once a year is useful. I can’t just walk in and get it checked, like a blood draw. I can’t make an appointment online, like vaccines or an eye exam. No, I have to call and spend 30 minutes in the phone tree. Not.

I did that once but it was a basketball score for University of Wisconsin over someone else. My wife, a former nurse, came scurrying into the living-room saying that was a really strange blood pressure reading. I wait until she’s in the room from now on.

Doesn’t do me any good to yell it out……..there’s nobody here to hear it. So, I just celebrate all to myself ! ! !

My spouse would come running to see if I was talking in my sleep.

I once nearly doubled that number. :(

He also yells “Fifteen minute warning!” when he takes a Viagra!

As long as it’s a good reading like that. If not, he’ll say nothing.
