I thought the insurance determined how many PT sessions one can have (?)

They do, but it seems to be a bit of a negotiation between my doctor and physical therapist and Medicare. They tell me they should not have trouble justifying as many sessions as I need, fortunately.

Ditto on that.👍
And if they do work, @hollydolly
then please list the ingredients for us, so that the rest of us who are likewise desperate for sleep (preferably at night!) can try to replicate it;
unless of course, it has all the same things we have each already tried, hundreds of dreadful nights in the past. :oops::rolleyes::eek::eek::eek:

I hope it helps you, Holly!

Sleeping aids can be a big mystery…..what works for some doesn’t work for others.
Years ago, think I tried every off the shelf sleeping aid….none worked for me.
Went to my doctor, he started me on Zopiclone…..4mg…..finally…..proper sleep…..take one every nite.
Down side is, they are addictive.
Without it, quality sleep doesn’t happen…..sadly, it’s a depression thing.
No side affects in the morning…..wake up refreshed.
 
Good Morning everyone......its a damp but warm morning here today. I need to give the dog a bath today, I've put it off as long as I can...so that'll be the biggie for me today.
I don't really have sleep problems except waking up too early and not going back to sleep, I usually just give it up and get up.
 
I have a lab appointment, which will mess up my entire day. I don't know why, but any disruption to my normal routine throws me right off!

Partly because it can change my meal time, which in turn can affect my exercise time (because I don't want to exercise on a full stomach). Also because I avoid doing anything in the hours leading up to the appointment, for fear of being late.

So that's 3 days in a row of no exercise. Then on Monday I'm supposed to have an ultrasound, but I haven't received a phone call about it.

I find that medical people (not doctors, but nurses, etc.) expect you to already know how the system works, and don't explain things. Then they get mad/impatient when you don't know, or if you ask.

If I survive Monday, I'm done with medicine for a while.

So far this morning I've fed a backyard Armadilla a banana in the hopes he won't root around my garden...lol. Other than that, taking it as it comes, probably put out a few more
Christmas decorations.

OH Wow, having only ever seen those in the Zoo.. or obviously on nature programmes.. it never occurred to me that Armadillos would approach people's homes.. ..
 
Cooked up some homemade tomato & bean soup for lunch. Not bad - it's the most I've eaten since Sunday. Decided to listen to a couple of Programmes on the radio iPlayer. "Sliced bread" is a programme that conducts fairly informal reviews on products and their claims.
The episode I listened to was about Wagyu beef. Very interesting.
"More or less" checks out the facts and figures behind the News headlines. eg. women are 32% more likely to die after an operation if the surgeon is male. What the figures actually represented an increase of 5 to 6.6 per thousand ops.(32%) This in turn does not take into account that some branches of surgery have more male or female surgeons and operate on cases with different levels of complexity.

Did you mean that you need the sleep to ward off depression, so that the med that provides quality sleep, is needed because it helps to decrease depression;
Or, did you mean that the med causes depression as a side effect for needing to take it ongoing?
Either way, I am sorry for the struggles.

Thank you, @debodun . I haven't even had the appointment yet! That's what I'm waiting to hear about.

I'm about ready to throw in the towel and take my chances.

I need to develop a personal policy whereby I have a limit on medical stuff, e.g., number of appointments.
 
@Alligatorob Oh, no! Sorry you're not feeling well😷 As far as the PT is concerned, since you had both done at the same time, shouldn't you get twice the number of appointments? LOL

As of noon today, I'm on vacation. Woohoo and stuff. I feel like a little kid on the last day of school.

We broke temperature records here Wednesday and Thursday. Today? It's cold and rainy again. Thus, the saying "about as dependable as the weather"!
 
I have been cooking. I had a biscuit mix I hadn't used that was about to expire so I made a whole box worth of biscuits. It ended up being about 3 dozen. They are now in the freezer. Then I baked meatloaf which I will have for dinner for several nights as well as freezing some.
