books and apnea

Sep 07, 2016

Good afternoon. recieved my second and third amazon book in the mail today. well the ones specific to weight loss surgery. i got the two for dummies books. i am half way through the first. and i have just packed the second for the weekend away. (which i may not take i may stay home and work on shopping lists. ) i know i am miles away from my surgery date. (at least 4 months ) but i really want to show the nutritionist that i am makeing an effort and that there is no reason to put off seeing the surgon any longer. 

well except that i cant seem to sleep with my cpap on. really i just get dry throat and coghy and it is just terrible. i cant carry the distilled water from the pharmacy. so i cant fil the little resevoir to keep me ( i dont want to say it but it is the creepiest but most effective word  ) Moist (eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww) at night. i just get dry throat otherwise. i have fairly minimal sleep apnea. i only need my machine on 4. but it is still something they could zing me on. i heard at the last appointment (nutrition class) that you have to sleep with it on for surgery. so tonight i am starting again to try and sleep with it on. why have i not tried last night? because i had to work early this morning and couldnt afford to be late. i am the holder of the keys at work. (well i have to be there when all the automatic door locks open. i dont have keys but i have to BE at work before anyone calmours in off the street and robbs the place. ) anyway i cant afford to sleep in, or be a wreck because i havent slept. 

on top of that i have restless leg. brought about by my medication, that if i dont fall asleep within 2 hours of taking i cannot sleep the rest of the night as i am kicking like a bucking bronco at the calgary rodeo. sigh. ah well. tonight i start the cpap

i will try to go to bed early and just sit and read with it on for a bit. they say that is the best way to get aclimatized to it. i dont know. i just hope i can overcome this stumbing block before the end of september.
