I think it's a legitimate question...

See that crap above? Well I’ll be carrying that around on me for the next 24 hours.
It’s called blood pressure Holter.
I’m copy and paste from a medical site:

A blood pressure Holter system includes a pneumatic constriction sleeve to be worn on an arm of the user and includes a first sensor for acquiring systolic and diastolic values of arterial pressure of the user. A second sensor is carried adjacent a chest of the user for sensing movement of the user's body. The system further includes a detection and classification circuit for detecting and classifying movement of the user's body for producing an index of a state of physical exertion corresponding to systolic and diastolic values of arterial pressure. A fuzzy logic controller processes the systolic and diastolic values of arterial pressure using fuzzy logic.

(btw... what in the hell is "fuzzy logic"??? )


Sounds comfortable right? Wrong. It’s huge and that thing is dangling from my hip like an old school walkman. Plus the “pneumatic constriction sleeve” is activated every 15 minutes. 24H, hence night included.

Anyway I have to take this exam due to my latest fainting problems… my doctor seems to think that my pressure’s problem get worse when I’m standing still for more than few minutes…
Of course when he told me that I joked about the fact that I didn’t need a Phd to tell me that I fell better when I’m getting laid…

If it wasn’t enough, not only I have to drag this thing around, but in the spirit of sacrifice me and Girlfriend decide to put on a hold every flirting and/or sexual innuendos for the day… because we both know that even if we start out innocently we would eventually end up telling or writing (remember, still a long distance relationship) each other something that would risk to alter my test’s result…
I tell you.. she can raise my blood pressure with a wink and a smile.

BTW did I mention that I have the hormonal response of a midwesterners bachelor party in Vegas and that me and Gf haven’t been able to see each other in the last month?
Yeah.. I bet you get the picture…

I did accept my fate for the day, but still I could not refrain to tease GF a little bit this morning about what we call “austerity time” :P

Via text messages..

Me: Great… I’ve this thing attached to me for the next 24 hours measuring my pressure every 15 minutes… btw I’ve asked the nurse and she told me that neither flirting of phone sex are dangerous for the exam’s result ;)

Gf: It’s not true! You cannot have asked her that!! :D

Me: Why not? It’s a legitimate question after all…

Me: :P sniker

Gf: I knew you couldn’t have the guts to ask that! LMAO

Me: who knew… perhaps I did, perhaps I did not… ;)

Of course I did not.. but the fun thing is that for a split second she believed I did, and I love her for that :P
