Describes her experiences of home monitoring systems.

 



My brother in law had a self-monitor, but he annoyed me in a way because he used to keep taking his blood pressure everyday, it was like a toy for a bit. He doesn't do it now but he did at the time and I used to think there's no wonder he's got blood pressure, keeping on taking it - it's enough to give you blood pressure. But it interested me, I must admit, it did interest me. 

I thought I'd have to go and buy one but they were expensive, I couldn't have afford it. And when he said 'Do you want me to take your blood pressure?' I'd say 'No thank you', I'm a spoil sport really.
