04Aug25: a mess…

I’m upset.
For the past week, I’ve worn a heart monitor.
On day five…
…I had to change the monitor out for a new one to be worn just the last two days. In the process, I managed to lose the five-day monitor and a mailer that is used to return the monitors. I’ve turned the place upside down and they are nowhere.
Andy knows I’m upset.
He doesn’t know this kit is why…
…but he came around to make me happy.

    • I think this one is like a remote I never found that had to be somewhere in the frontroom. It was like there was a mini- black hole in my frontroom: it’s never shown up again!

  1. AUGHHHHHH ! I hope you find whatever you need. Things disappear and reappear for me with disgusting frequency…Like you ,my only housemates are cats, so they didn’t walk off with it…but I always fear it got knocked down behind a chair,, a shelf, a desk.

  2. Sorry this doesn’t help you at all Doug, but it could have been me writing, mate. My last one was the Enoxaparin hypermermics. By the time I found them they were out of use by date.
    I really feel for you, Doug.
    Loved Andy’s caring look he gave you. Cheers.

    • I refuse to wear it again unless a nurse puts it on and changes it. You are supposed to look in the mirror to put it on. Left is right. Right is left. I managed to put the sticky-backed monitor on the paper template, destroying both as far as doing their jobs. That tops the crap that happened with the two losses.

    • No, both are gone. They never left the frontroom, so why have zi turned the frontroom inside out and noy found them?

  3. Oh no, Doug! But this probably happens to a lot of people. Is there a number on the package that you can call and ask if they can send you a new mailer? You’ll have to give them the serial number of the device, which also should be on the box, but I can’t believe they won’t do it or charge extra for getting another mailer to you. (Says the person who ran around her parents’ junk filled house searching for her father’s blood sugar test kit. I laugh at it now, but back then I was in tears of rage because the damn thing was always disappearing. ALWAYS.)

    • I’m going to ask about this tomorrow at dialysis. They are handling the doctor’s orders for this series of heart-related orders, and they need to know I’m not competent to attach the damn monitor using a mirror to do the deed. I made a total.mess if it.

    • It will show up when I die or enter the care center and the apartment is cleaned out. It is history, like the TV remote that got lost in the same p L ace and still has never shown up though it has to be somewhere in the frontroom, too!
