I am preparing for a surgery that requires opening of the chest. This DOES NOT involve bypass surgery. Does anyone have an experience with this and can you describe the recovery? Thank you.

Has this ever happened to you? While starting to fall into sleep, your body just freezes and you cant move, you cant open your eyes and you cant even talk to scream for help.....What if its like this when you die and you want to tell everyone that you are alive?

I just took 3 different tests on Asperger's Syndrome online. On the first one, I scored just above the line, 2nd one I scored just below the line, and on the third one I was WAY over the Asperger's line. I'm really scared right now, because I've read that people with Asperger's grow up lonely and things like that. Should I be concerned about the results, because I'm freaking out right now.

She lives with me and my husband. She doesn't want to take a bath. I have to treat her like a child. I feel really bad for her because she has always been such a strong willed person. Now all she wants to do is watch the news all the time. Sunday I caught her in the kitchen using the restroom in my favorite coffee cup. I know she can't help it, but I worry about her when I am not at home. What is she doing when she is alone? I send her to adult day care during the day, but she could probably use 24 hour care My husband and I work odd hours.
Does anyone else out there have a relative with deminsia living with them? How do you approach them when they do something they shouldn't without making them feel bad about themselves? I wan't her to be confident, but I can't keep letting her do some of the things she does. Did I mention she is a pack rat too?

The doctor said that since my uterus is to teeny (even after having 2 kids) that my body may reject the IUD but we both thought it was worth a try. Then he gave me a speech about checking for the strings and to keep in mind that it could break through my uterus. How the heck will I know if this happens? I can't feel those strings for the life of me, I don't know where those are! I just got the thing put in today so I am curious to see if it works out...any suggestions?

I've heard a few people suggest high protein, because I'm not on any vitamins or medication. What would cause this high protein level and what can I do to fix it? This is the first time its ever happened.

About a month ago I decided to start running again and started to watch what I eat. I have stuck with it so far and run everyday for over an hour and lift weights and do crunches. My clothes are much more loose and I feel and look better but I haven't lost a pound. Why not?
