Back in business

I've used a CPAP now for about 20 years.  I've had a combination of apnea and snoring for probably 10 before that.  Before I had the CPAP my throat was used to snoring.  It was hardened.  Since I've had my CPAP my throat has gotten 'soft'.  I can't sleep without it.  If I do sleep without it I have a bad sore throat the next day and it makes me feel like I'm sick.

Today, in addition to a little jet lag from changing two time zones and just traveling in general I didn't sleep well and when I did manage to sleep I created my sore throat.

Amazon delivered today.  My power supply.  So I'm back and ready to nap!!  And sleep. 

Tomorrow will be a much better day, no April fooling.

I hope you sleep well, and feel better soon.

Hey, April 1 is a great day! Only because it's my birthday, though, not because of the April fooling (which I never notice because of said birthday). It's a very good day to have a birthday, as nobody ever forgets it.

Happy birthday 🎉🎈

Thanks! Given we're isolating, it was about as low-key as it's possible to get, but very pleasant.

Hope you get some better sleep and feel better! I used a CPAP for a couple of years, but my apnea was minor and I was able to lose weight and not need the machine. Thankfully with my pandemic weight, I haven't gone back to needing one. My husband always said it was like sleeping with Darth Vader. ;)

If I were young enough I might consider alternatives to the CPAP but I've lost weight and gained weight and neither changed anything. My father was terrible back in the days when snoring was something made fun of in the comics. And I had the issue for years before going to the Mayo Clinic where they put me on a machine and I slept through the night for the first time in memory. Never went back and am too old now to mess with alternatives. PIA when the power goes out, though.
