It is like a mini blog. Kind of like the updates on Facebook. My twitter updates my facebook. I know not many people use it here, but on another site I am on they do. And, for a new "job" I have, I need to have one.

I'm glad I fly in/out to my work on the mine site and don't live local, as the folks that live in Kununurra (180km away) and bus it back and forth from site are stuck here for the duration. The wet season has done it's usual trick and taken out the road and bridge and it looks like a week before it will open again. Poor bastards are stuck in camp for the weekend and all of next week. Looks like the camp food is going to be slim pickings too, coz the supply truck didn't make it through :thumbup:

plain .. help... is this 'normal'??? (and yes, i know this cant possibly be 'normal', but ... you know...

Kinda. The thing about Ambien is that you're supposed to take it when you can sleep undisturbed fro 7-8 hours. In the hospital, the nurses are going to disturb you every 2-4 hours checking vitals.......so Ambien isn't the best for acute hospital stays.....and some people have those weird sleepwalking symptoms even when they follow directions. I've found most of my patients that happens to are taking the Ambien, then will read or watch TV until they feel sleepy. Big no-no.....but I'm sure you'll appreciate this response since you're probably having your baby right now!! Yikes! I think a good name would be Jos.....er....Trey.

I have to say I would be a mess without Ambien. It serves me very well. I take it and get in bed. I don't sleep 7-8 hours but it's better than not sleeping at all.

I have never sleep walked with it, but apparently it makes me say crazy things in my sleep.

Mac, that is horrible. I can't even imagine someone not

making sure your child was okay.:thumbup:

LJM, I hope yours was an easy labor and delivery! Can't wait to read all about it! Congratulations!

Thinking about you LJM!

plain-I have question for you. How often should a person that has been diagnosed with sleep apnea have a new sleep study done?

Is the person that has been diagnosed currently being treated? If yes, then that person should probably ride the therapy until they start feeling symptomatic again. If no, another sleep study should be done ASAP. Sorry for the generalized answer, but you caught me on my last night of work. I probably won't have time to sign back on until Monday evening.....and by then there'll be 10 pages of posts to go through.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
