Re: Daughter in a group home

I am proudly known for making snarky comments here but now I am serious. I bless you and sympathize with you for being a caretaker for your child. People like you are first in line to get into heaven. I am no doctor and I may be particularily (darned if I can ever spell that word correctly) ignorant...

Re: Update on statins

I find that by the time I take all my morning meds I am full until I take my afternoon pills. Those hold me until I take my night pills. Is this a good balanced diet?

Re: What is normal?

The answer to this question has been debated for centuries. I believe normal is defined by the eccentricities of the majority. Normal is much like what is sane. It is not something to strive for. One should strive for excellent. Do not settle for normal.

Re: Colonoscopy and sleep apnea

Be very, very careful and talk to your Doctor before he touches you. In my colonoscopy I was told that I would receive the drug cocktail and would not feel a thing by the nurse. The Doctor never talked to me. They hooked up the I.V. and I went in. When the Doctor started to stick, the machine up my ...

O/T batman

If I were to get an inversion table and learn to sleep upside down would my apnea be solved? Or should I just move to New Zealand to get the same effect? When will they ever make globes with the southern hemisphere on top? Why can't they copy garbage cans and put a pedal on the floor next to toilet ...

Re: BPA- Write to F&P, ResMed, Respironics!

If there is a God, and she/he cared about our health, then why did he/she make sugars and carbs taste so good. I always eat desserts first because life is uncertain. If I was just finishing my lima beans when the giant meteorite smashed into earth killing us all instantly my last thought would be of...

Just because everyone up till now has died is no proof that anyone will die in the future.

Re: BPA- Write to F&P, ResMed, Respironics!

I love reading these endless posts on subjects people disagree about. I suspect no one has changed their mind. Wulfman writes that we will all die some day. He has no proof that anyone alive will die. These claims are mere scare tactics. My diet consists of as much preservative as I can get. Either ...

Re: Need some hope...

Yes I have been very depressed. I held my mother's hand while she died. I had to tell good friends who were on vacation that there 20 year old son had committed suicide and that I would meet them at the airport when they flew home. I had to be with my dying father when he had a 2hour talk with me ab...

Re: Need some hope...

Hope": You woke up this morning and had to to the bathroom which meant you were still alive. Hope : No one you love has died in the last week. No one you love has become a mass murderer or been murdered by a mass murderer in the last several hour or maybe even days. Hope: You did not wake up to an a...

Re: O/T Happy holidays and a brief whine,

Thanx a bejillion for your encouragement. I just need a cheap flight to Australia. Since I worry about all the blood going to my head while standing upside down I cannot be there very long.

Why do all globes and maps have North up? Don't our Southern hemisphere friends get to ever be on top?

Re: OT: 4 people resign in a week

I worked in both emergency rooms and grocery stores while going to high school,college, and law school. For full disclosure, I did not really work in an emergency room I volunteered. In grocery stores any customer in a bad mood can create hell for you by asking for the impossible and/or calling the ...

Re: British Social Medicine - Disaster

In Ohio a huge percentage of children do not have health insurance and rely on emergency rooms. The problem is that emergency rooms only stabilize the patients and then refer to the regular physician. These children do not have a regular physician. Since I work in the juvenile justice system I see c...

Re: Knowing your AHI

I have an Icon A. On this machine The AHI ( which I pronounce AHEEEEE, like Maria Sharopova grunting when she hits the ball) is very easily determined. There is a knob the you turn around the on/off button. You use this knob to set humidity etc. When you get past the magic number which you read to e...
