Were you on meds before? I mean, of COURSE it's elevated...you probably aren't feeling well! That's going to have an effect. I'm sure she just has your best interests at heart and wants to make sure you are being taken care of, but it's probably not reassuring for you and it sounds like her bedside manner might need some tweaking.
I think most importantly, how high was it actually at the time.

We ended up requesting that she be taken off my case. Had a long talk with hospital nurses yesterday as well as the nurse from my primary's office, and both agreed that she over-reacted. Firstly, the bp numbers were well within the range of a post-surgical patient, considering pain and such, and secondly, she ignored totally the fact that I had vomited 3 times earlier in the day, and offered no helpful advice about that. Today we get a PT visit, then tomorrow a new visiting nurse. I really don't think I need all thee visitors, but frankly I agreed to it all to give DH a break.

Tito's vodka is warning consumers that it can't be used as a hand-sanitizer replacement as the coronavirus spreads across the US

While alcohol is the key ingredient in hand sanitizer, Tito's Handmade Vodka is warning Americans on Twitter that it is not an effective replacement for Purell.

Over the past day, the spirits company has been dispelling misconceptions that its vodka can be used as a disinfectant in place of hand sanitizer as shortages continue across the country because of the coronavirus. In a statement shared on its social-media channels, Tito's wrote that its vodka is made with 40% alcohol and "therefore does not meet the current recommendation of the CDC," which says that effective hand sanitizers must be at least 60% alcohol.

The official response came on Wednesday after several Twitter users shared that they were planning to use Tito's to create their own hand sanitizer because of the lack of availability of popular brands like Purell. A Tito's spokesperson told Business Insider that as soon as it saw the misguided information it "wanted to set the record straight."

"While it would be good for business for our fans to use massive quantities of Tito's for hand sanitizer, it would be a shame to waste the good stuff, especially if it doesn't sanitize — which it doesn't, per the CDC," the spokesperson said.

Does the article say if it's possible to return Tito's to a grocery store? Asking for a friend...

Sense of taste is definitely gone wacky. I have to eat with plastic utensils because normal utensils leave such a metallic taste in my mouth. My natural love of sweets is gone - I'm not tempted at all by chocolate. :eek:
My mom couldn't eat anything with tomatoes or onions after chemo. She said everything tasted metalic. I wonder if plastic utensils would have helped!

These are people who come to your home to look after you? Then you definitely need to feel comfortable with them. If you were in the hospital where the shift changes after several hours and you'd be getting someone else later in the day, it might be different. But if this is someone assigned to you who comes to your home and is pretty much the only one you see, it's got to be someone you can trust and work together with. Glad they are taking her off your case.

So with the Coronavirus scare, why are people hoarding toilet paper? Apparently people are flocking to the stores for toilet paper and hand sanitize and most shelves are empty....
