Ho,hum Part 5

Ho, hum. Monday soon came around again and it is back to wall-to-wall soaps. Of course that means that I am sat here all alone once more. How can so many of you be addicted to soaps?

Talking of addiction, I think I might be addicted a tiny bit to those little electronic machines. You know the ones, the oximeter and the blood pressure monitor. Every morning and every night I sit there plugged in and wired up. Don’t move and don’t cough! It will affect the readings.

Right, blood pressure is 160 over 80. OMG! I am in serious danger. Oximeter says Sats are 90 and heartbeat is 120 beats per minute. Help! Somebody call an ambulance I need to get to the hospital.

See what I mean? It can send you crazy. I ought to chuck the ruddy things out of the window but I can’t. I need my machines. I must have my machines. If I didn’t have them, I could be dying and not know it. Help!

Is anyone else addicted to them?

No just my nebuliser xx

Nope... and do you know why? Cause I don't have them LOL :) Simples :)

However, in my 3 apt flat, I do have 3 tv's, and I don't watch them! I've my ps3 hooked up to the 50" tv in the living room, so I can watch blueray movies, listen to my music or even play a game on it.... but to watch programmes ... nah.

Ya know your bp fluctuates throughout the day, why worry. You've medication for it, so remember to take it :)

Nowheeze, chuck the TVs out if you aren't going to use them!! Dust collectors. Seriously though, I dont do soaps, cant be bothered to pick the story up, but enjoy a good documentary or play. I have various catch up, netflix, kindle stuff, love music.Could you explain blueray movies? I have loads of games, apps, newspapers.

in reply to

Blueray movies Anniseed, but better quality than DVD's. And I listen to my music on the same console, and also play single person shooter games on that console too :)

Aw, Chris I don't do racing games, although Burnout was good to play on the ps2. I prefer single person shooter games .... I'm lethal with a grenade launcher LOL :) x x x

Take no notice of the numbers, as long as you feel OK. I think not knowing what they were and meant is what kept me feeling happy in hospital and now I just check if I get tunnel vision ans slow recovery! :)

Understand perfectly Phillips1 - when I first got my oximeter I checked my stats about 8 to 10 times a day - down to about 4 or 5 a day now - weaning myself off a bit, but need to check I am still living ha ha and spell in hospital with dangerously low oxygen scared me - never want to feel like that again. Seriously though at least it makes me feel I have some control - oxygen level dropping - top up on the oxygen machine. simples eh - have not got a blood pressure one yet but tempting - are they expensive? xx

I got mine from Lloyds the chemists website. £14:99. It works pretty well. Nice and simple for an idiot like me.
