Sleep apnea test

Remember, too, David, that you're on a "get healthy" kick and when you lose weight, you may discover that you no longer have sleep apnea. That was the case w/a friend of mine who used a C-pap until she lost weight and now it's no longer necessary. Until then, the C-pap will help you sleep better and when you're rested, you'll have more energy to work out and get into shape. Good luck and sweet dreams.

I have another session with the apnea people on may 10th at 8:30 p.m. where they will try various machines and masks to see what works on me. When I first heard "sleep apnea", it kinda threw me, but now it's just another problem to overcome like my other ones.

ROFL!!!!!

David, apparently sleep apnea can cause strokes in people, so I am really glad you can be treated now. I am waiting to hear how much more energy you have.

A funny story: A man I know quite well told me a story about discovering he had sleep apnea - I think he was in his 60's before he found out. At the time, his wife was battling inoperable liver cancer. They fought it as a team, and did well, but they knew the inevitable and took it a day at a time.

After he got his C-Pap machine, they were in bed one night, and after he put the mask on, he said to her, "I'll never get a date!"

As others have said, as you take care of your health, maybe your apnea will go away.

Good vibes and prayers your way!
