hello! yoshi > cpap

Ok, once again, I’m lazy, so a bulleted entry™ it is.

1. Free for all Friday is this Friday folks! The last Friday of the month is FFAF! What does that mean? That means YOU get to post on THIS site! That’s right, I’ll open up posting so you can make a guest post about anything really. I’ll throw some suggestions for you, but ultimately, it’s up to you. This is a good way to promote your latest news to catch a different audience.
2. I’m still giving the CPAP machine a chance. I’ll have pictures up for you soon, once I get around to putting it on and having Meesh take my picture. It’s really sexy! NOT. cybr totally wanted to know more about it. He’s apparently doing some research into it.
3. What’s up with people lately? I swear everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere. Everywhere I turn, there’s someone always in a hurry. I swear driving around yesterday, I was almost hit by so many people. They totally need to get over it and just relax already. seriously!
4. I had more ideas for posts, but honestly, I think of them when I’m in the shower, and I always forget by the time I’ve dried off. Most of my thinking and idea making comes to me while I’m in the bathroom. Is that so wrong? I just wish I could remember half of it. I’ve probably thought of the cure for the common cold already.
5. The Sims 2. Such an evil evil game. And now they’re working on Sims 3? Holy crap. The Sims 3 is due to come out in 2009. We’ll see.

That’s about it for now. How’s your Tuesday going so far? I want to win the lottery and never work again.

So originally, I had some post lined up to post today, but I never got around to posting it because I’ve been so tired lately. Yes, wearing the CPAP machine has made me even more tired than ever before. But alas, I didn’t want to go the day without a post, so I am posting this filler post.

It’s definitely a monday today, since everyone I know seemed to be complaining that today may be the worst day ever. But, that’s what mondays are all about, after all.

How was your monday? I hope it was better than mine!

So some of you might know that I did a home sleep study, and they found that I have sleep apnea. To be specific, they said I stop breathing on average about 11 times an hour, and 22 times if I sleep on my back. This should tell you that my sleep apnea is a cause of only one thing. Gravity. So Now, I must overcome gravity. To do this, I’m being tested on a CPAP machine. Yeap, this is the dreaded Darth Vaderish machine. So, just like Tiggerprr was mentioning in this post, I too have to wear it.

Yeah. I’m not thinking so. So tonight I tried to sleep with it on, and just about had a panic attack because I couldn’t breath. My nose was stuffed up, and I just couldn’t breath at all, so panic ensued. For those of you not in the know (which is probably all of you, I’ve never told anyone this), my number two fear in my life is to suffocate. Yeah, so you can imagine how this must have been. I felt like I was going to die. Oh and if you’re curious to know what my number one fear is, that’s easy, it’s Clowns. seriously.

So, really, it’s all crazy. I will probably return the machine since it’s being rented right now and just say, “No thanks.”

Do you or someone you know have sleep apnea? How do you/they handle it?
