The second family member is my new machine I sleep with– no the male is not jealous. In fact, the male makes sure that I put on my jet fighter mask and sleep with it every night. I’m talking about my auto PAP machine. I received it last Wednesday and for a week, I’ve been playing catch-up on sleep. I’m finally realizing what it means to be tired instead of exhausted beyond all get go. They say it’ll be about another 2 months before I’ll be caught up on sleep and I’ll feel back to normal, but let me tell you– there’s no snoring, no gagging, and I wake up feeling better than I have in about 5 years. I wish I had done this sooner. *sigh* But that’s how it goes sometimes. So, my sleep apnea is being treated and the side benefit– the male is happier because I’m not snoring, and I’m actually getting some real rest. 

So- those of you who’ve been putting off the sleep study or getting a machine– let me tell you– RUN to that test– the difference having a CPAP is fantastic. It’s a bit of work to get used to, but overall, I’m happier now that I have it.
