26/11/13 - I still have sleep apnea

Nov 26, 2013

I'm back from the doctor and the results of the latest sleep study -- my sleep apnea is still there, when I sleep on my back.  His words were "deadly".  

My on my side numbers were excellent, and I took him the numbers from my CPAP machine -- he was delighted with them.   We'll re-evaluate in a year;  with hard work I should be down another 50 pounds.    

Since I'm going to be on this for another year, I'm going to get a new face gear, nose pillows, and replace the electrically-taped hose with a new one.  Merry Christmas to me.  :)

I do like my machine, and was highly motivated to use it.  I sleep better with the machine than I had in years.   It's been three years and I don't mind keeping it, after all, it's all in the aid of good health.
