Lunch was another couple of Southern not-fried chicken drumsticks that had been in the freezer for ages
And this afternoon brought yet another call from a pharmacist at the GP's, though she didn't have the list of blood pressure readings for the past week that I delivered there this morning, as due to the flood damage she was in an office at the General Hospital a couple of miles away in the other direction, and nobody had got around to scanning and uploading it
Luckily, my blood pressure monitor is Bluetooth-enabled and uploads all its readings to my phone, so I ran through a bunch of them with her. She agreed that they were absolutely fine and no change to medication was needed. This is exactly what happened last year, so I look forward to going through the same palaver twelve months from now. Perhaps I should point out to them that measuring it while you're waiting for them to stick a big spike in you and suck out your blood is likely to lead to an unusually high reading due to the stressful nature of the situation
