Oxygen Level 99 - Yeh (wink)

Have just done my morning ablutions you know the routine. Inhaler, tablets, blood pressure, oxygen level, doesn't make a difference what order they are done in as nothing changes - normally.

Well I looked down at my oximeter and saw Oxygen 99 Pulse 99 Wow! Did think I felt quite good but this was amazing quick thought in my mind I could maybe even do a bit of housework (joke I am not that thick).

Now I didn't really feel that good but the air is so much fresher this morning BUT then I noticed a little flashing symbol yes you have guessed the battery needed changing talk about being deflated. Changed the battery and Oxygen level now 92 but hey for a moment I really did think about running a marathon :D

I was once 99 at the surgery, the GP thought she was reading it upside down ! She wanted to try it on another finger, I said no way 99 is fine for me. The air is a bit fresher today, although that feel good feeling I've had for the past two days has gone a bit. Yesterday I even did an online order from Boots - ever tried doing an online order from Boots, give yourself a couple of hours at least.

Never mind, mine is only 91 to-day. Help yourself to some virtual chocs from above post Might cheer you up. xxxxxx

Sorry you weren't really 99 Jan, perhaps you should celebrate anyway with an icecream and flake '99' after all thinking about doing a marathon is cause for celebration - we have rain, grey skies and no a sunray in sight today. Not had that for ages.

Oh dear Jan - please don't run a marathon - don't want to lose you! Ice cream and flake sounds good! Keep on breathing my love.

Lovely to see you about Jan. Sorry about your SATS but at least you jogged my memory to do mine. I got 95! I am never 95. It's usually 92/93. Put a new battery in. Yep, still 95. That PR course must be having an effect.

Love from Bobby xxxx

My SATS are running the same as yours Jan. 92, which is now more or less normal for me.

Your all fools, those oximeters are telling you your age not your oxy levels. Ha Ha. :) :) I'm 96 today and my heart is 80?
