I dont know if any of you had this. Anytime I had to get my blood pressure taken I would dread it, because my arms were so big. They always tried the large even when I said it wouldnt work, and then after a few machine errors, they would change it to the big black thigh cuff, or they would take my bp from my forearm. Today I had my blood pressure taken, and she used the large cuff on my upper arm. It didnt even try to un-velcro on me ^_^. I realize this is silly, but it made me extremely happy.

Oh, I hated when they had to do the forearm. It always made me stress which would make my pressure spike.

Love this nsv.

That is awesome!!

I always had to remind the nurse to use the "big girl" cuff. My blood pressure has always been normal (lucky I guess), but I hated when they tried to use the regular cuff and it would like explode off my arm. ugh

Fantastic nsv! I remember those days, incredible feeling now they need to use a 'normal' size cuff!

Many more great nsv's to come!
