So I joined a gym and got myself an induction day of Saturday and thought oops need some gym wear so good old sports direct on line comes to the rescue. The parcel came quickly and upon opening it I see what can only be described as a tshirt that should be seen from mars, in fact so brightly green/yellow it is that I'm surprised the box wasn't glowing like a worker from Sellafield. That will teach me not to check what I'm ordering. Anyway Saturday arrived and it was time for my induction obviously after my morning 6 smokes and 2 large bacon butties and 3 cups of strong black coffee.No as I'm writing this I'm starting to see what the problem may have been that I'm about to tell you about.
I jumped in the car with Chris and we headed off to the gym on arrival I was presented with a number of forms to fill out and told to take a seat.After 5 mins a young lad of early 20's approached me and led me to a small room to take my blood pressure................150/105............oops he tried again............145/100...........do you smoke Neil? Maybe You do realise how high this is don't you? No. I would strongly recommend you seeing your doctor, you may even get a discount from us if he referes you to us. Now this guy really knew how to make me feel good! Still he let me enrol after a chat with a colleague and I was shown around the equipment although I have to admit my mind was now elsewhere. I went home worried and quite down. Could the trip be over before it started? I went to Argos and got a home bp monitor and then went out and got pissed!!!!!!!!!!
That BP is worse than mine was!
