I've learned how to take blood pressure with one of those digital 'Blood Pressure for Dummies' machines. They're pretty nifty. So I keep track and write down the numbers on a calendar. Mostly, Lore is willing to let me play nurse, but I have to get it right the first time, because she won't tolerate second tries. She doesn't like the cuff squeezing on her arm.
One time, when taking her blood pressure I was waiting for the digital reading to show up. When the numbers finally appeared I made a "Hmmmm" sound, as I thinking about them.
Lore mimicked the sound back to me and said, " So Doctor, is 'Hmmmmm' good or bad?"
A good joke and we both laughed.
