MiraLAX, you are a MiraCLE.
Desperate times, call for desperate measures! I took 2tsp of MiraLAX Saturday, along with a fist full of prunes. Worked like a charm! I'm not sure if the MiraLAX or the prunes did it, maybe even both. Good thing I didn't dump the whole packet into my water...bad things might have happened! Not to be graphic or anything, but it seriously wasn't like an explosion like everyone else thought. Mind you, I knew prior how the aftermath of taking too much of it. Not personal experience of course, my patients tell me horror stories. Needless to say, I felt much better. Not that I was in any pain, but it was a good enough feeling to know it wasn't sitting around in my belly.
On Friday a company called Lincare called me to drop off an oximeter. Dr. Cusimano ordered it for me to wear this weekend. It's your basic pulse oximeter, you know that clip thing that goes on your finger with the red light? Yeah, that thing. As far as I can tell, my oxygen levels look good. After I put it on, the meter reads it at 96-98%. Of course I don't know if it falls below that range when I'm off to dream land. It has a USB storage card in it, so it records data for the company to print out on Monday. I'm pretty sure I don't have sleep apnea, but I know for sure I snore. Maybe that will change after I lose the weight.
My next weigh in is Wednesday. Just a nurse visit this time. Seems like every other week I'll be meeting with a nurse, and opposite ones with Dr. Cusimano. I don't really mind. If I had to guess, I'm sure I've lost a pound or two. Just have a feeling it's going to take me another week to recover from the number two fiasco!
