Well, I'm not trying to brag, but......

Private TV's in the bedrooms in my lab, baybee!!

Patients never ever see each other, unless they come in as a duo (husband / wife, brother / sister, are some of the "duo's" that I've done).

Clearly that hospital you were in needs to hire me as a consultant (for a huge consulting fee, of course).

Meh lol I didn't want to watch tv anyway i was just bored and walking around trying to itch that crap off my face even though I wasn't supposed to. There were 2 others there for the sleep study and I saw them both for at least an hour and 30 minutes. They put all the private wires and stuff on in YOUR room that's like a hotel room then they take you to an open room for 3 or 4 people and put the ones on your head with the nasty glue. Then you can either goto your room or the lobby I went to my room for awhile and played my DS got bored and thirsty went out asked for some apple juice...watched a few minutes of TV...noticed him...kinda got freaked out...told a nurse...went back to my room...from my room I could see down the hallway and saw everything they did until they got him into a room etc etc. Plus I could hear them talking they were doing the loudspeaker thingy. I knew he wasn't acting the same cause I talked with him for about 30 minutes before I saw him pop the ambien.

Oh I dunno if I ever told you guys my results for it lol I had 7 episodes on my back that were 1 to 2 seconds long and 12 on my side that were 1 to 2 seconds long. He told me it was mild and that I didn't need a CPap and he believes it will fade away as I lose. :tt1:

LJM, as a pregger, you are kinda out of luck in the sleep department. You have a hormal flux working against you, as well as the physical restrictions that your lil' bun is providing. The tylenol and benadryl stuff works by exploiting the antihistimine effects.....but those kind of meds tend to stay in your system for a loooooooooong time.

thats what i was afraid of ... i guess he's just preparing me to get up every few hours...

I'm sorry I used the term "pregger". Apparently only pregnant women can refer to themselves that way. But it is acceptable for the rest of us to say "pregga".

LMAO

LJM- 2x unisom or 4x benadryl (but NOT benadryl d). They are the same thing. I was on rx sleeping meds till I found out, now I am tired a lot and rarely need the help, but on the nights I can't sleep I either take 1-2x unisom depending on how wound up I am or 2-4x benadryl. Both are safe, Unisom is even recommended for morning sickness :tt1:

ok ... i'll try the unisom / benadryl i guess ... i've just never taken them and who knows what the reaction is going to be....?

I have to say I honestly don't think I could live without ambien. I am so thankful I have no bad side effects from it.

Can't wait to see pictures of the puppies. My daughter's beagle had puppies and they were so adorable.

Thanks for your advice Plain. I'm heading to the Dr in a half hour because my throat is REALLY inflamed and sore, so I'll ask about the Ambien then.

Slim, that would totally freak me out!

It did freak me out. All I could think about was what if I had gotten in my car and tried to drive?

I have to say I honestly don't think I could live without ambien. I am so thankful I have no bad side effects from it.

I had taken it for quite some time before that happened. I really think my getting up in the middle of the night caused it. I can say that now, but then it just scared me spitless.

Plain, I like your new avatar!

Wednesday morning - raining again.

Ambien - don't do drugs (OTC or otherwise, caffeine excepted).

Puppies - love 'em; cats - love 'em; have had multiples of them all at different times. I want to see the pics, please.

Plain - nope, not how I had envisioned you. And before your ego swells, I wasn't dreaming about you; I always try to imagine the appearance of those I cannot see when in communication.

Carpal tunnel - DM is having hers released tomorrow; she went several years before she agreed to the procedure (and suffered unnecessarily in my opinion),

OK - have I covered all the topics?

Wow, tapshoes, I think you did! Good job.

Happy hump day everyone! Plain, I like the new picture as well.

Good grief, it took me way too long to type this with just one hand, ugh. How am I supposed to work when I am a database specialist?

She Smiles, I hope you get to feeling better.

Where are those puppy pictures? Can you include smellavision with them, I love puppy breath too!

Susan - are they booking you for surgery? or trying the relaxation, exercise and brace routine?

For those that are pregnant - do not watch the movie First Born. For those with any taste in movies (and of course the calculation of taste is based on the Tapshoes Rating Scale[TRS]) do not watch the movie First Born. DH is a movie fiend (walking talking encyclopaedia of all things movie related); I hate wasting my time watching them. Anyhoo, last night I agreed to watch a movie and that was the one he chose.

Maybe that's another thread topic - movies we have seen and loved or loathed.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
