The new mask is working very well, I’m sleeping all night, not waking up, and was able to get up for 7:00 am departure for agility trials this weekend AND workout before going!

Food is much better too.

Called Medco and asked them about the birth control. I think I’m going to stay with Depo for a while, and go with the generic. It’s very inexpensive, but I am also going to talk to the doctor’s office about the last charge. I don’t think I should be paying an office visit for a shot.

Interesting post on Seasonale — which is the back of my mind to switch too.

Man is it making a difference.

I came in and took about 1 1/2 nap very early, then went to bed at 10:30 – 11:00 and slept all night.

The mask did not wake me up either time, which is a huge improvement. I was waking up and adjusting the other mask nightly, which doesn’t seem like a good thing to me. Doesn’t seem to bother the doctor, but oh well….

Worth every penny…

The doctor recommended this mask: FlexiFit HC431 Full Face Mask
And it is working very well. It is easier to fit than any ask I’ve ever had, it doesn’t leak and it is comfortable.

I woke up this morning wanting to sleep longer. Sometimes I wake up tired, and have trouble waking up. And while I’ve been short sleep lately, I just wanted to sleep. You won’t understand unless you have sleep problems….

And yes, it’s worth $150.00 to be able to sleep.

Yeah, it’s been a long day. 3 doctor’s visits in one day.

This appointment was productive — though I’m sure if I had insisted the dentist would have obliged ….

The CDE insisted I get a flu shot — she brought it up. I told her I felt like I must be from Minnisota, because I didn’t want to deny an 80 year old woman a shot, but she said since I was exposed to so many people (classroom teacher), I needed it, and not the flu.

I’ve got a plan to play with Zocor and see if it is causing my long muscle pain, which reminds me the Zocor is downstairs.

She couldn’t answer my biggest question and I did bring up the gastric bypass thing.

I don’t think I want that. But right now, I can’t make myself lose weight. I have been gaining slightly, and I don’t want that to happen.

I know I don’t want to be bigger than I am now, I’m just not sure I want to be smaller. As I told her, I know this, and I’m comfortable with this.

I am afraid that doing the gastric bypass is either a) not going to work and just add onto the medical team, or b) going to work while removing a set of medical problems I can deal with but adding a set of medical problems I’m not prepared to deal with.

Though if it is going to happen this year, I need to start making plans — I have to do it at the beginning of June to avoid missing to much class time.

Is he a good dentist if he doesn’t do any work and doesn’t charge?

My mouth hasn’t bothered me since he put in the temporary filling, so he and I both are not inclined to mess with anything. Helps my pocketbook, not sure about his.

Am doing the yearly checkup thing on the 27th of December though.
