edit data

If you are looking for a copy of "Blood Pressure Diary: Keeping it Simple," please visit https://jespiddlin.com/BPD. Goodreads has removed it due to it being a book for recording information inside, rather than reading material. Of course, my reviews were taken down with the book, too. (Goodreads policy.)
