No I did not just pass gas!

With the advent of modern medicine we are able to sleep better at night if we wear a mask that pumps oxygen (or rather forces air!) into our mouth so that we don't quit breathing while we are sleeping. I think it is a twisted evil plan by sleeping partners all over the world to torture their sleeping mates !

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. One of the worst cases that the clinic has seen. It seems that I stop breathing 86 times in a one hour period. My oxygen level was going down to 60% at night. So this is suppose to help me stay alive. This is all a part of my quest to have gastric bypass surgery. I have a colonoscopy scheduled next I hope they don't prescribe something for me down there!!!

Love the mask. Now that you are off the rat poison, and getting some oxygen, you should be able to begin feeling better. Apnea is serious stuff, so I'm glad to hear things are moving in a better direction.

Love,
