More Than 12 Months Between Posts.

That may be a record for me.

I was recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have been learning to live with a CPAP machine. It has been a little hit and miss over the last couple months, and have decided to re-purpose this space into a log of my successes and struggles with the machine. Not that anyone cares. Or is reading.

Anyway, it is currently just after 1am and I need to give the machine a second attempt tonight. I'm fairly congested at the moment and when I initially laid down about an hour ago I kept feeling like I wasn't getting enough air, which makes me claustrophobic and panicky. I took an allergy pill and it seems to have kicked in a bit so we're going to give it another shot. I need to talk to the doc about the congestion, which seems more or less chronic.

Will hopefully start posting my numbers here each morning.
