Camping before WLS
Aug 03, 2010
Decided to be "adventurous" and go "Primitive" camping with my family and some friends in the Utah mountains. One problem: I have severe sleep apnea and can't sleep without my Bi-Pap machine. Problem solved: my friend said he'd bring his generator so I could plug into it. Got the worst sleep of my life because the generator ran out of gas the first night and only got 3 hours of "not so good" sleep. The second night we filled it up all the way with gas and I think I got about 4 hours of "not so good sleep." In addition to the loud rumbling of the generator and the fact that I was embarrassed to even have to bring my stupid sleeping machine ; lack of sleep and very hot weather, I guess you could say that I am REALLY hoping that my WLS will alleviate my sleep apnea. We had a great time, but I was so uncomfortable and it was very awkward. I felt "needy" and the whole weekend felt like it was all about "me." I will never do this again! When we go camping again, it will be in a cabin with full electricity! Just wanted to share with y'all.
