My OH Friends

It saddens me to think that so many of you have gone in for surgery and I have not been around to wish you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. I have been so wrapped up with a client that another OH member passed the info on to me. It's been ongoing since Nov. 8th, non stop. I haven't even been spending time around my own family and this saddens me too. Please know that I think of you all often and wish you the best in your surgeries and recovery.

Went for my stress test on the 14th. Went extremely well. Has to be one of the most pleasant visits I've had yet by far.
My Sleep Study
Aug 09, 2007
Well, I called on Wednesday to see if there were any cancellations for the sleep study. As luck would have it, there was one and I took the spot for last night's. I didn't mind all the hoopla that goes with it, I just didn't sleep like I normally do. I guess I would call it Lucid State the whole night. I was well aware I was sleeping but awake. Go figure. I was happy before hand and miserable when I woke.
Note: They do have a shower there. If you decide to take one there, bring your shampoo and conditioner! They have baby shampoo and my hair was so stripped I couldn't brush it out! Honestly, I don't think I would have cared if I went home by car, but I took RIPTA home and I felt slightly embarrassed to be seen with my hair looking shitty (plain english.)
All in all, not bad of an experience and my tech was down right hilarious!!
