34
that's 93 degrees in backward yankee units, apparently. i dunno - it's a different language, i don't understand it at all.
that's indicative of hypothermia. i should have been dying.
while it was no doubt a confused reading stemming from the fact that i just got off a bicycle ride in a brisk wind on a 10 degree day (itself indicative of how healthy i am - i can bike for an hour without breaking a sweat), it says something about me that is very much consistent with a lot of things i've been going through for a long time.
i will go into shivers & nearly into shock from even moderate levels of air conditioning. it's consistent, and repeatable. further, it seems to be genetic - my father had the same issue. he used to blame it on his blood pressure. but, my blood pressure is generally unusually low, while his was always dangerously high. there seems to be something else going on, there.
but, if that dental assistant was a nurse, she would have called an ambulance - i should have been going into shock. she took it twice - at my forehead and on my wrist. it was 34 both times.
