Had a pap smear today and told my doc other things I felt were happening to me. Sometimes at night I would wake up gasping for air, and I'm always clearing my throat ever since I quit smoking 20 years ago.
Joey said something to me about it so I told the doctor. That made me get all kinds of tests. I stayed at Group Health for 5 hours to take some of them. I'm not done yet.
I had allergy tests. OMG! Talk about torture! They pricked me with a pin on both arms 40 different times with allergens to see if I was allergic to any of them. It felt like piercing my ears 40 different times only on your arms, it was that type of pain. But then again, I don't do well with pain. Then they took a syringe and put allergens deeper under the skin close to my triceps on one arm. It didn't hurt as much, Then, OMG! I was to blow my nose into saran wrap! Yes! For some reason it took 4 tries to get enough snot so they can put in under a microscope and see whats there. LOL.

Jeesh. that was weird. Also had blood taken that filled 4 or 5 vials. What else? Oh, they took ex-rays of my lungs and sinuses.
My next tests will be later this month for a Mammogram of one of my breasts that I believe has scare tissue inside where my implant were. (I had an ex-plant done a few years ago) But my doctor wants it tested again and an ultrasound, then, they want to test me for sleep apnea. I believe they give you something to go to sleep and they monitor what happens while asleep.
Well, I'm glad so far that I have no allergies, I think my lungs are OK, don't know about my sinuses yet. One of the tests show that I have high cholesterol at 259, so I promised myself to start right now and lower it with the correct foods and a journal to stay on it. A lot for one day. Whew!
I've been enjoying too much chocolate and chips I think.

No wonder I can't lose weight. Why did I do that to myself? Oh well, back on the wagon I go, and this time it has to work, my health is really at stake now.
Laura, Oh no! So sorry you got sick.

Hope with all my heart you get to feeling better very soon.
Michelle, I love Scotty with his deep deep and tenner voice. Also Haley OMG. Those two are remarkable! Pia was my most favorite of all, or ever. Still can't figure out how she could have been voted off.
