Basically, does anyone else carry out scientific experiments upon themselves ? In the best tradition of inquiry.
As most of you know, a few years back I had some medical 'problems'. And something happened today that gave me the opportunity to see how well I had recovered.
Being an old fart (A genuine card-carrying oldje), if I wish to go to town and my car is of the road I take my codger pass and use the bus. But my pass ran out three days ago, and as I had to go into town (Two miles away) to order some parts for the car prior testing, I had to walk.
So, I walked down, ordered the parts, had a coffee, and walked back home.
Now, Where I live is about three hundred foot above the town centre level. All down hill there and, of course, all uphill coming back. As I was on the last hundred yards or so I phoned my wife and asked her to dig out our heart pressure/pulse checker.
As soon as I arrived home I took my pressures and heart rate. The again at three further five minute intervals.
I was quite happy with the results. A very fast recovery from the walk.
So, anyone else done this or something similar.
Note, I will not believe any tales of people claiming to have carried out open heart surgery on themselves.
INT21.
