Goodness, it seems like I haven’t written in forever. Sorry! I am back though, never fear!

One of my family members recently had a sleep test done at the hospital, and it got me thinking about a sleep test *or whatever it was* that I had done a long time ago. I don’t really see the purpose of it now, and I am not sure if I really did then. I just knew it meant I had to stay up all night…and thats pretty much what it was. Stay up all night, go to the doctor in the morning, and be starving because you couldn’t eat anything. During the day it was fun anticipating the night because I would get movies and whatnot, and my dad was the designated one to stay up with me. The fun of it goes away after awhile though, and you get tired. I remember I was allowed to only nap for maybe a half hour. It sucked! I remember my dad would have to come in and wake me up, and it just seemed ridiculous! I had maybe two or three of those tests, I still don’t get it, I will have to bring it up to my mom sometime.

My mom is a nurse by the way. Kinda handy to have a portable nurse with you when you have health problems. Like I have said before, my family is used to me, and my mom is used to me both as a daughter and probably as a patient *in a way* The funny thing is though is that my dad has never seen me pass out. He has stayed with me in the hospital and been there when I had IV’s put in and all that but has never seen me pass out…I still think thats kinda funny. Lucky him! My sisters saw me have my first seizure, I can only imagine fun that must have been. I had my first seizure while getting the cast on my arm taken off. It was supposed to be a good day, go in, get the cast taken off, and go to my grandparents because they were coming home from China and my cousins were all over there. Nope! I remember the whirring saw hitting my arm, and I remember waking up to everyone rushing around, my sisters freaking out, and just wondering what the heck had happened! In a blur, I remember being put in a wheelchair, throwing up…and don’t know after that! Thank goodness those days are over! Now I only really black out, which is better than going completely out.

Yuck! I don’t want to think about passing out, otherwise I am going to! Life imitating art. In this case, not the best thing.

Alright, I am watching “Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte” and I want to go back to actually watching it. Good movie.

Goodnight!
