I awakened from my first nap under the bi-pap mask and Ron was talking to our dog Slim. They were both staring at me and Ron was saying to Slim, "She sure does look different doesn't she?"
I guess that makes me the "masked stranger", thus the name selection for my new sleep contraption will be "Tonto". This machine is my new sidekick:) (Are any of you too young to know what I'm talking about?)
So-far-so-good is how the sleeping goes. After two full nights on the machine I have added two hours a night to my normal sleep time and we drove back from a trip to Tulsa yesterday without me falling asleep. My confidence grows that this is going to be an answer to many health concerns.
Now I'll stop talking about this unless Tonto and I take a trip or do something newsworthy. Thanks all for your support and encouragement.
Congrats. You are moving in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to feel so much better very very soon. Love the Tonto.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that this is helping you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that Tonto is helping! That's wonderful news, Annie! I hope you continue to get more and more proper rest because I can only imagine how energized and refreshed you will feel.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this is working for you!!! I think I need to talk to my doctor about something like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it is helping you - I hope it does help your health issues - what health issues are going on - I feel I miss something?
ReplyDeleteLove,

Hey that's great!
ReplyDeleteMy sleep study dr said "you're waking up several times....per minute to breath." Let just say that 6 straight hours of heavy sleep is nice. I wouldn't try to go to bed without a tonto.
ReplyDeleteOr a Marilyn. Sounds a bit weird eh?
Kimosabi, It is good you are finally getting the real sleep you need, even if you need Tonto by your side!
ReplyDeleteI do remember the white horse galloping, n the music!
Thanks for the update!
Wish I was getting more good hours myself- but the neighbors are loud idiots...
No telling just how much difference it will make but it's going to be a good New Year:)
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeful this will be the start of great things for you!
ReplyDeleteTonto sounds like a really good thing - I'm going to read your previous posts to get a better understanding!
ReplyDeleteI remember Tonto! And the Lone Ranger. I'm glad that is working for you.
ReplyDeleteWow I'm really pleased you are getting that much extra sleep already. I sleep only 4 hours a night and really isn't enough, but I cope ok. Well I have to!
