Hi there.. I am awake because I itch. this is maddening. Anyhow.. Sandy.. I was looking thru some supplies and found those disposable bags you wanted to know about.. they are made by Osmore and the insert says 1-800-686-1377. I know that company changed its name, but hopefully that number is the same or it will lead you to another number.
There is a website I found and one posting has all these companies you can call for free samples. I don't know how to get that list and then put it on this site, so if anyone does know how to do that and wants to do that, let me know and I will attempt to tell you how to find it. ha ha
I have a thought on all those horrible cramps I was getting. Maybe it ws simply not enough water.ANd that when I drink a whole glass of water, it is just too much for the system. I don't know. just a thought.
I must try and get back to sleep now. I have been working the afternoon - midnite shift and it messes me up the next day, because I can't come home and fall right asleep, so I stay up and get on the computer and then fall asleep around 2 or 2:30 Am and then if I don't get enough sleep, I have a hard time staying up past midnite to make it home/drive. The shift is not good for me I think. I like it because you avoid rush hour and hardly anyone stays that late, so you are kind of on your own at work and sometimes the work runs out, so you can just read a book or a newspaper quietly at your desk till it's time to punch out. But, I have NOT been walking at all, because I wake up just in time to make a few phone calls and then get to work. Maybe run one needed errand a day. I need to walk.
ANyone keep walking as a daily thing in their life and how?? It is too late and too dark and scary to walk at midnighe, although I did once at owrk with someone else who got off then. That was great. But she doesn't always work there at nite. I asked another woman who does to walk with me last nite and when I punched out, she was gone. GUess she didn't want to walk!1
