C.: Well, T and are training to be the next light heavy weight tag-team cat fighting champions of the world, and d.c. says that a virus is going around The Kennel, and he thinks he’s caught it for the second time..(ring) That’s funny, I thought dc. says for me to write the blog today, but he’s calling me now.
d.: (cough, hack, wheeze.) Hi, Cal.E., I know that you and T busy training to be the next t light heavy weight tag-team cat fighting champions of the world (cough, hack, wheeze) so I can write the blog today. After all, it’s not like I’m having brain surgery (or am I? I’ve has so many surgeries I can’t remember what the next one will be…No, no surgeries, so you just continue what you and T are doing. (hack, wheeze).
C.: No, d..c. It sounds like you’re too sick to work today. I’ll write the blog (ans get out of some of T.’s brutal workouts).
d.: So, I gather, from the way your breathing, that you just got through working out.
C.: That is correct. T mase me so six up downs.
d.: And…? (cough)
C.: Isn’t that enough? Oh, wait a minute. T is looking for me, to turtuer me more, I suppose. I must think fast.
“T. I’m on the phone with s.c. He’s a nurse, as you know, so I listen to him. He says that I may be feeling the way I so because my blood pressure is probably too high. So, the remedy for that is to sit and rest until I feel better.
T.: Oh, Cal.E., I didn’t know where you were, but I can solve the problem.
C.: You can?
T.: Yes, I have a sphygmomanometer with me. I can check you blood pressure ans make sure that you’re okay before we resume training. We’ve only sone the warm up so far…
C,: That cuff is too tight! That means that my blood pressure is too high. I know that from listening to the patients in The Kennel that d.c. and the other nurses check.
T.: so you mean the people that you must wake up and tell them it’s time to go to work, when to eat and when to shower or they would never so any of those things?
C: Well…yes.
T.: Let me talk to d.c. Just put the phone on speaker.
“d.c., Cal.E.’s blood pressure is 122/80. The directions say that her blood pressure should be 120/80Is that too high?
s.: Not at all, T. A normal blood pressure reading is 120/80 or below. However, the readings may vary as much as mm of hg.
T.: So, her blood pressure is normal?
s.: Yes.
T.: (Tweet). Okay, Cal.E., now that you’ve caught your breath, lets so more that warm up. Give me twenty situps followed by fifteen pullups ans twenty-five pushups now, now now!
C.: Thanks, d.c. You’re a real pal
