This is so scary, and hope someone goes to jail over this.

Drug for Sleep Apnea?
MSN Health – Antidepressant Is Promising for Sleep Apnea
Maybe I’m lucky, but the CPAP doesn’t bother me at all, in fact, I really like it. the white noise blanks out any outside nice, the air flow is cool.
I will admit I don’t like the fit of my current mask, and am going to do something about that in the next few weeks.
But a drug? and worse yet, and anti-depressant? I’ve never had a good time on anti-depressants, the few times I’ve taken them.
Besides, I’m doing 6 pills a day plus insulin. i have a theory that much more than that and they all stop working….

I said no today
Saying no to a boss type person is hard for me.

Geek Meter
Give this a try. This is kinda of funny, I expected a higher score, but I think as I have been teaching high school I’ve become a bit less geekie. Translator fits though.
Thudfactor: Quantity over Quality.
You are 35% geek 
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.
You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You’ll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!
Geek [to You]: I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!
You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

I met my new doctor today!
He does remind me of my dad. I am not sure this a good thing.
Hand is infected — he figures where the stitches are dissolving. Sent me home with a script for Ceophalexin (take that HIPPA). I dropped it off at Albertson’s — I wish they had a drive thru for this — went home, grabbed dinner — much less stressful than waiting for it. Went back, picked it up, grabbed a diet coke and a few things and when waiting in line, went ahead and took one.
The guy in line ahead of me gave me a funny look — “hey, they don’t do any good in the bottle and I want this thing fixed NOW”. Yeah, that’s what I said. He did already graciously offer me his place in front of him. Guess I looked a little impatient — and I rarely take those offered places, but did this time.
And I’m going to take a second one before I go to bed…. wonder if I can sneak in the third?

What is the chicken came before the egg?
Okay, I didn’t even know they DID research in Turkey, much less on sleep apnea … but this is interesting…
In my case, we think the sleep apnea came first…broke my jaw when I was 20.

Today
I slept better last night. Was able to go to bed at a reasonable time and go to sleep fairly quickly. That is an improvement!
Food was better too, yesterday evening.
Should I credit hypnosis?

Frye’s Electronics in Irving
I think I mentioned this when I bought it, but I found a really great little cooler/heater — they say holds 9 cans, perfect for putting insulin and fruit juice in when you’re out shopping or on a trip.
Amazon sells it for $79.99 — Fry’es had it for $39.99
Here’s the deal though.
If you live in Dallas, you would understand that the rudest, non-English speaking people work at the Frye’s on Northwest Highway. And they aren’t even cheaper though the store looks like it should be. (Okay, maybe an equally rude, non-English speaking group work at the Walmart at Midway and 635).
They just opened a Frye’s in Irving on 635. The only thing the same between the two stores is the name and logo. The people are nice, friendly and helpful.
Anyway, back to the cooler. There was a rebate on it. Nothing on the display, so I wasn’t expecting it, and was thrilled at the price as it was. Cashier insisted though, went and looked for it, and couldn’t find it. Frankly I was exhausted at that point, and again, didn’t really think it was happening.
Well to my amazement, I got a rebate form in the mail today! I have NEVER had anyone do that before. $10.00!
