11:45am to 11:45am with that damn blood pressure cuff going off every half hour until 10pm, and then every hour through the night. I thought my arm was going to get squeezed off. Fortunately I survived and am pretty tired since I did not get much sleep. As soon as I heard it starting I would sit down in a chair, put my feet on the floor and rested my arm on the chair with my palm up. During the night I just stayed in bed.
As soon as I took it off, grabbed a shower and went to Brockport to return it to the cardiologist. Hopefully he will have read it before I see him tomorrow.
LW kept me company while I distracted myself on my computer.
First, I stopped at Tractor Supply for a big bag of horse cookies.
Then I dropped off the cuff.
By 1 I was at the library playing bridge. It was only 55 degrees outside and we were all wearing sweaters or sweatshirts.
Home at 4:30 after a quick stop at Wegmans and finished getting dinner together. I had put some onions, parboiled chicken breasts, carrots and BBQ sauce in the crockpot on low before I left.
Tonight I did chores before we ate. It's getting dark closer to 7.
Rebel and Buddy went in each other's stalls for dinner.
We should have a frost tonight and it was very windy, so I closed the back door to the run-in by Buddy's stall. Hopefully they will handle it. They still have two exits.
Gary had a fire going before we ate dinner.
Night all.
I'm going to sleep well tonight!

I'm a retired nurse and have never heard of such a 24 hour torture as having your BP taken so frequently. Hope your enduring that gives your doctor some helpful information! BTW, if you or anyone you know (heaven forbid for either) has a stroke, the arm weakened by the stroke should NEVER have a BP taken on that weak arm.
Sweet dreams!
The fire looked so darn inviting!
Hoping for you to get good results tomorrow at the cardiologist. Kathy
