Are You Trying to Scare Me Death?

After my surgery, I was hooked up to a machine which checked my Blood Pressure and Oxygen Levels every 15 minutes.

I did not mind, since when I felt my strap on my arm tightening, I would wake up and do my leg exercises, to decrease my risk of blots clots and keep blood flowing to my toes. Also, I had breathing exercises, which was breath in for four and breath out for 4, a few times - easy.

Later, in the evening, it was being done once a hour, which I did not like as much, since I did my exercises less. I ask the Nurse, if you could make it check every 1/2hour, but she gave me this weird look.

During the night, the Nurse came in and check my Blood Pressure and Oxygen Levels once in awhile, but one check lead to a scare.

After one check, the Nurse starting to ask me if I had any Heart Problems I was a wear of - this woke me up. Another person came in and gave me an EEG Test (Not sure what type of heart test it was) and then left. I wanted to start shouting, "What going on? Do I need to worry?" I waited patiently, which felt like hours, was probably only five minutes, the Nurse came back and told me everything was fine. He was worried about my Oxygen Levels and wanted to make sure, it was not something more serious.

Well, thank you for looking after me, but I think you gave me an anxiety attack along the way
