Blood Pressure Tests are wonky

First of all, how is 120 for systolic considered "prehypertension?" That's crap.
Second, why is one test at 120/69, the next (1 minute later) 111/63. I'm so confused.

My resting pulse has increased about 15 points since I moved to Reno. That's slightly disheartening. I really miss walking.

As the time ticks away towards Ghana, my schedule is more full than ever! Between work, Seattle, camping, and various different tests, I am booked.

Slightly bone chilling prospect: If my blood tests come through as a match, I may be back in Reno next summer. Bachelor's and all.

Sometimes I love freaking myself out with such prospects. As much as I love knowing exactly what's on my plate, I love the idea of not knowing ANYTHING even more :)
