Today I got my CPAP machine. If you don't know what it stands for, it is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. Basically it helps me breathe while sleeping so I don't actually stop breathing. I'm so stinking excited about this machine. The Respiratory Therapist, Amy, who came to the house to deliver the equipment and instruct me on use and cleaning is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She reminds me of my friend, Sheila Hall, because when they are talking to you they are genuinely interested in what you are saying.
Anyway, this machine will help with my breathing which in turn should help with my sleeping. I can't imagine a whole night of sleep, it's been so long since I slept through the whole night. I can hardly wait to strap this hideous mask to my face and close my eyes. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, this is something I NEVER want people to see me wearing. It's all Hannibal Lecter looking.
Anyway, if I don't answer my phone, work well into the night, or play my face book games after midnight, you'll know I am sound asleep.
