My work toys

Yay, I get to play with a thinga-ma-scope! Actually, it's a portable patient monitoring device. And an ultra expensive one too. My coworker plopped it on top of my desk yesterday, since it'll be part of one of the projects that I'll be working on.

So I've been playing doctor with myself all yesterday and this morning. Been keeping my arm strapped to the device's accessories, which has been auto-reading my blood pressure and heart rate at intervals for hours. I averaged a BP of about 110/70 BP and a heart rate of 56 bpm. Ahhh, the cardiac benefits of road cycling are finally showing their colors. Now if only I could determine if my genetically ill-fated cholesterol level has lowered.

Can't wait to play with myself some more. ;-)
