Health - 4 February 2007

I have a bulging disk at L5 and it's pushing on my siatic nerve. I can't control my right leg. I have to stand on my left leg. I weigh nearly 300 lbs. so it's hard to take all the weight on one foot. Last night I went flying across the room because I stepped on the right leg and it's useless. I drove home and almost crashed my truck trying to use that leg to break with! I left work crying too! I went in today and stayed all day, but I told them not to expect me tomorrow!

I'm a non-smoker. Most places that I've seen allow employees 2 breaks and a lunch. However, smokers are also allowed cigarette breaks. How is that fair and doesn't that encourage smoking?

I hit my head about a month ago, which resulted in a large bump that took a while to heal. Now, the bump is completely healed, but there is a completely bald spot where I hit my head! Does anyone know anything about this? Why did it fall out? Will it grow back?

If you put someone in a very bright room and if you wake up that person everytime she tries to fall asleep, what would happen to her? I know that she would die, but how and in how many days?

Please, I don't want to hear about anyones sex life.....

I just want to know some relaxation methods that can clear the mind before going to sleep. My mind constantly races and I can only get 1 or 2 hours sleep a night.

Any ideas?

I have no desire to smoke cigarettes because of the health hazard they cause. However I enjoy the action of smoking, and was wondering if there is anything reasonably healthy one can smoke.

I have decent memory when it comes to remembering day to day instances, but I sometimes have difficulty remembering people's name I just met or have met earlier in my life. That may be people I met a few days or weeks ago or it may be things like addresses, numbers or websites that I want to remember but cannot when I need to. I would like overall memory improvement without having to resort to spending money or taking some prescription drug.
