Just got my CPAP machine. That is a machine that helps you sleep called
"Continuous Positive Airway Pressure". Basically you put this mask on
and it is as if something is blowing air into your lung continuously. It
is bit weird. I think they have my settings too high as I was congested
when I did the study. My CPAP number is 14 out of 20. Apparently I
stopped breathing 387 times in that one night sleep study and my oxygen
level was at 79%. I guess those numbers mean it is "severe". The mask is
a mouth and nose mask that kind of reminds me of a scuba mask. I think
maybe I might like it just because I like scuba diving. For now I am
Darth Vader. Cough cough. I must use the force. I should practice my
lines. "Your powers are weak old man." "Luke, I am your father." "I find
your lack of faith disturbing." We shall see what happens.

Thought of the Day
"Maybe it'll be fun having a pet?"
"It's not a pet. It's a wild invalid. And it knows that I tried to kill
it. As soon as it gets better, it's gonna gnaw my brain out in my
sleep."

Show"
