Today, for the first time since I was diagnosed with high blood pressure two years ago, the nurse at my doctor's office was able to use a regular cuff when checking my bp. It was so wonderful. I used to always get so embarrassed when they had to switch out the cuff for a large one. Never again!

That's great! I too used to hate it when they had to bring out the larger cuff. I love to hear peoples nsv's.

I know this sounds crazy but there have been times that I think they use smaller cuffs on purpose. I was in the hospital for a week about a year ago and when I came home the ENTIRE upper left arm was black and blue (not a couple bruises the entire area.) from the Blood Pressure Cuff. Like they could'nt have found a better fit for me?

Congrats Kimmy and everyone else too! So nice to have a noticeable difference.

This morning I put on a pair of slacks and a blouse for work ... I have been tired all week and not paying much attention to my attire ... whatever is easy, you know? But when I put these slacks on and headed for the kitchen to make Breakfast I noticed that they were dragging the floor. ??? I'm like what the heck??? Why are my pants so long? I don't remember them being this long before ... finally I took a look in the long mirror and noticed that they were big all over and the blouse too .. duhhhh ... This week I have only been making a cursory look in the mirror before rushing out the door to get my kid to school and me to work. I knew my pants were loose this week but THIS is getting ridiculous -- in the best possible way. YAY! I think a shopping spree is in order!
