I am recovering from the flu.....had my flu shot.....but none the less got the flu, type B. Anyway, when I went to my doctor she weighed me as usual - I was too sick even take my shoes off for the weighing -- but I had lost a few pounds.

Then the BIG victory.......when the nurse came in to take my blood pressure she took the regular cuff which was attached to the wall and it fit! I was shocked and secretly proud......here at last was proof that my arms had shrunk.....always before the nurse will begin to fit the cuff around my arm, then take it off and go get the LARGE cuff.....not today! I fit in the regular cuff and my blood pressure was excellent!......and it fit over my blouse sleeve!

OK....my second triumph was that I finally weighed under 220......even if it was only 219.....its another milestone for me. I'm not too quick to claim this weight loss since I'm sure some of it is due to the flu, but I'll take it.

Anyway.......I just wanted to share how good it felt to fit into the regular blood pressure cuff.....a small victory, but one neverless!
