First NSV

I had my first NSV today! I went in to see the Dr. and for the first time in about a decade and a half they used the regular adult cuff when taking my blood pressure instead of the extra large one. I know it might be an insignificant thing to some people, but to me it was a BIG DEAL. I didn't even realize how much I hated that XL cuff until I saw the nurse pulling out the other one.

Just wanted to share.

That IS a big deal! Awesome!

Awesome feeling. Keep on posting. NSVs are the best.

That is a big deal! I remember how annoying it was to always have to ask them to find the large cuff, as too small a cuff will give you a false high. Sometimes they'd bring out a thigh cuff, which was mortifying.

Oh god, the thigh cuff! Did that more times than I'd care to remember... ?

I agree with you. It is a great feeling!

The cool thing about being here is that getting to use the normal cuff is a HUGE thing around here!!! We all understand, and totally are celebrating with you!!!

Congratulations! NSVs really are the best!

Awesome NSV. I hated that big cuff too.

That must have been an amazing experience. They havent used the "regular" one on me in about 2 decades. This made me feel like I was an abnormal human or unneccsarily exsisted & a burden on the medical community. Now instead of hooking the big girl one up they take my pressure on my forearm- does that even work? First time I noticed (some make a big deal out of it as to fat shame) them hacing to switch, I was really caught off guard didnt realize I had gotten so big. So Happy for you! Cant wait until I experience this.
