Late Nights and Little Sleep

I’ve had a hard time sleeping through the night lately. Because of that I’ve been seeing a lot of infomercials (I always think they will be boring enough to put me back to sleep) and web browsing for just different websites as at 3 AM I simply can’t do any serious surfing. While I’m physically awake, my brain isn’t enough to blog or do other important things online.

One interesting thing I’ve discovered is blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery.  I’ve never even heard of such, but apparently it is a very popular form of surgery.  Have you heard of it? Why did I look this up? Because a teacher that I work with was telling me about having eye surgery this summer on her drooping eyelid. I haven’t asked her yet if this is the surgery that she had, but she told me that the drooping lid was effecting her vision so actually was done for both medical and cosmetic purposes.

I found the information on eyelid surgery on IEnhance (ienhance.com) that gives you a massive amount of information for not just eyelid surgery, but also facelifts and forehead lifts. This is a reliable site that I’ve been perusing the last couple days so the bells when off and I knew I had to add this to my list of sites to share with you guys – my readers.

At Home Medical Testing

This weekend while visiting with my grandmother, I picked up her edition of the Woman’s Day, June 17th edition. One of the articles was over all of the at home medical tests available now and whether or not they recommended the home versions versus going to the doctor/medical lab for the “official” tests. They discussed everything from the basic home pregnancy test to STD testing. Well, boy did I feel naive. I didn’t even know that some of these tests existed in an at home version.  So I did a little research today out of curiousity and sure enough, according to the vendors, we can in fact be tested for almost anything at home now. tSTD is an at home STD testing company that promises confidential, nonembarrasing, professional testing from your home.  Who would have known?
