The wonders of Technology

So yesterday, with much nervousness, I headed off to get my portable heart monitor. I had to go to the local hospital for this Holder monitor. It basically is these electrodes that are placed around my chest and they are attached to a recorder.

LOL The recorder is basically a walkman. Or at least it looks a lot like one. And not even a CD walkman. No, it is a cassette tape. I wondered where they all went. Well, it looks like they went to the hospital. I wonder if I could borrow one to make an eighties mix tape : P

So after getting the darn thing on and after trying to be so careful with it, I went in this morning to get the tape and battery replaced. Wouldn't you know it.... the tape had gotten caught up on one of the knobs and it had only recorded maybe as much as me leaving the office and out to my car. Barely 10 minutes. Not exactly the 24 hours that they had wanted.

So now I have a new machine and I have to keep this machine on until Thursday. Ugh! The worst is it itches just slightly. Not enough that I scratch but enough that it makes me want to...

But I did still feel like a fast heartbeat on Saturday and Sunday and my blood pressure did go up so I will keep the evil itchy machine on.

Good day and the beat goes on....

Sounds like an aggravation but keep it on and endure.
