At my last physical, my family doctor asked me to take a BP reading every day for a month and write it down and send him the numbers.

I have no idea how this happened but a few days later Medicare sent me a monitor in the mail for free! I didn’t have one before and thought I’d have to buy one.

I sure hear you about teeny tiny print instructions. 🙂
