Sleep study and more...

Sorry guys, it's been awhile since I updated. It has been a little crazy the past week. Katie went home on Friday (I SOOOOOOOO.... miss her) this weekend I went to a concert and Sunday my head was pounding! So needless to say, its been awhile and I am sorry.

To update on the sleep study, this one went better than the last. I was able to take a sleeping pill that whisked me off to sleep very quickly, thank God! Before I knew it, it was morning and it was all over! Of course the nurse that watched over me wasn't able to tell me anything. I did get out of her that she had to go up pretty high with the air flow. Not sure what "pretty high" means, but I guess I will find out in a couple weeks. My mom was so funny, the day after the sleep study she asks me "So, what did the doctor say"? Of course my follow up visit isn't until September 10th. She asked me, "What happens if you die between now and then"? Well, I guess I am dead, right? LOL...she is so funny. Just like a mom to worry. I have survived this long, I guess a couple more weeks wouldn't matter, right?

Well, today was my first day back to school. I am still working towards my degree, I will finish one of these days. I, hopefully, have one more semester at FCC and then I get to transfer to Hood. I can't wait! The sad thing is I am so used to taking night classes, that this is the first semester that I have taken a morning class. WOW the dynamics are VERY different. I am used to being the youngest, or at least in the bottom 3, where now I am the oldest. I DO NOT like that! My fear is everyone will look to me for the answer since I am "older and wiser", totally NOT true. Although, one class I am taking is complete "BS"....teaching mathematics....this means sitting through a class "teaching" me how to "teach" basic math. I swear, who ever comes up with the curriculum has two things in mind, money, and wasting my time (of course this latter of the two only pertains to me since the world revolves around me, right?)

Anyhow, as soon as I meet with my doctor I will have more info on what happens next with the CPAP machine and all. I just want to get on the damn machine and start having a good night sleep. If any of you follow my body bug updates on Facebook, you know that my sleep is in need of some serious work!

Next week I go for MORE blood work to check on my liver and have a sonogram done. Here is to hoping that nothing has changed since the last one 6 months ago so I won't have to do it again in 6 months. If I get a good report I won't have to have it done again in a year or so. So here is to hoping!

Have a happy week and I hope to update again before the weekend. I weigh in tomorrow since I forgot to do it this morning. Lets hope I am down 2 more pounds. Cross your fingers for me!
