I cannot begin to explain to you how stressed I feel. The worst part, is there is really nothing I can do about it. We have NO extra staff anymore, so I don’t have anyone to work when I need a day off, much less when staff call in sick. They’ve tried, I tell them they need to take whatever meds with them and just sit on the couch. Because we need a body there 24/7.
I’ve mentioned the Sleep Study I did a couple weeks ago where it was determined I need a CPAP machine. I’ve got pictures of what I looked like with all the electrodes running to my brain…. it’s VERY SEXY! I go in on Monday night (March 2) for the ‘fitting’. The Doc told me my sleep disturbances were so significant, IF the machine does its job (and it should) it will be something of a panacea. No more meds for anxiety, depression, better memory retention, more energy for being active. AND… sleep is a necessary part of weightloss! Who knew?
Wouldn’t it be something if that little hummer helped my life make a little sense AND move in a positive direction?
Weigh-In tonight… didn’t stay for meeting. I had to do laundry. Yup, one more thing to wedge into my life. Wasn’t good… wasn’t too bad….

Wasn’t that sleep study fun?
I had to do one as well as Sleep Apnea runs in the family. My first study yielded absolutely no sleep, the technician said I made him tired just watching me try to go to sleep. The second study I managed to sleep a total of 2 hours enough for the docs to figure out that I needed a CPAP and O2. Joy Joy!
I have been using it religiously for 7 months and do not notice real change except for maybe blood pressure.
Has the machine helped you at all?
