Sleep Apnea
I’ve been feeling like crap for some time. I’ve blamed it on stress in my life, missing my kids, hating Florida, depression, allergies…….. the list goes on and on. My doctor sent me for a sleep apnea test last night. Oh Good Lord….. I felt like Frankenstein. They hook you up to all these wires…..on your head, face, chest, legs…….and then tell you to sleep. Not an easy task. Then, if you have sleep apnea, they come in the middle of the night and hook you up to the mask and monitor to see how the treatment works for you. (that’s not me in the picture, but wanted to show you how they wire you. I picked up a radio signal from Bangkok) Ends up I do have sleep apnea, which is a good thing. I’ve felt like crap for so long now, and gotten more and more lethargic…. just loosing my zest for life. If I can slip a mask on my face at night and start feeling human again during the day…..it’s a good thing, although the doggies are gonna freak when they see that thing on me! The prospect of being energized again, getting my brain back, having the energy to swim every day again and maybe go back to what I love doing…. lifeguard instruction , swim lessons and conducting water aerobics classes…… is exhilirating! Now I have to go shampoo the goo out of my hair. Just thought I’d share……
