terrifying events
Jun 11, 2009
Okay, I have sleep problems. Several years ago I was diagnosed wiht sleep apnea. After using a cpap for a few years, and two surgeries, the problems was eliminated. Then I was diagnosed with narcalepsy, and and was prescribed concerta. While still having that problem, I developed problems sleeping at night, so was prescribed a sleep medication to take before bedtime.
Well, I have trouble going to bed early, and I am usually awake a few hours after dh goes to bed. He frequently finds me asleep in my chair, and has to wake me up to go to bed.
Well, this morning I woke up in bed, but was na*ed. Now, I'm not against sleeping that way, but I usually don't. Any dh asked me if I remembered last night, and I asked what he meant. It turns out I was doing some pretty crazy things, nothing that was meant to be dangerous, but I did end up with an injury on my big toe, and he found me on the floor. I had been getting a pan of water with epsom salt to soak my feet, and evidently didn't quite make it to my seat. It's really weird, because I never use epsom salt for anything, bought it for my husband about 2 months ago, and just yesterday had put it in the cupboard because he had never used it. I had put about 1/2 of it in my water!!! I really thought my husband was justing having a nightmare, but my toe was bandaged, the epsom salt was opened and half gone, and everything else that went with his story.
Needless to say, I'm scared. I am not taking the sleep meds or the concerta again until I check with my drs. Maybe its the changes in body due to wls or something, but I just don't know. Thank God he was here, and took good care of me.

My plan
Jun 09, 2009
Today my weight is 40 lbs less than my consultation weight. After some reflection, i have decided that I would like to be at my goal of 125 by November 11. This is the anniversary date of my 2006 hospitalization. To be at goal weight, and rid of all of my diabetes meds will be, well, indescribable. What a victory, a major milestone, a great stepping off point for the rest of my life.
