In today's world, thirty-seven years is a real tribute to both of you.

You have to WANT to make it work to survive some of the trying times, and you have succeeded so far!

That deserves something, I just don't know what.....

Both of you have my best wishes for another 37 to come!

You made much better choices in '75 than I did, Bill...I was still driving a Chevrolet at the time.

I was driving a Dodge. Challenger. Wish I still had it!!!

I really admire the new Challenger, and am tempted. But while my heart is lustful, my mind knows that the thrill would be short lived.

Didn't mean to be hurtful, there, Bill. It was that talk about lust that got to me!

Also, this morning I'm a grouch! I tried my new APAP** machine for the first time Tuesday night and got a really good night's sleep for the first time in a long time. Yesterday was a very different day for me, as I didn't feel remotely drowsy all day!

Then, last night about midnight, I discovered a large hole in the machine's air tubing. It hissed like a snake! I was afraid that Marge would not sleep well with the noise, so I didn't wear it all night.

This morning I'm back to drowsy, but I now have something to compare it to, and I'm p/o'd that it's not going to be as nice a day today.

I have to go get a new one, I guess, as I'm not going to just put tape on a one-day-old hose.

I've been reading that some folks are depressed about having to be hooked up to something all night, but from the results I saw in just one night's use, I'm thrilled, instead!

Now, off to get a new hose.

Pop, is that for Sleep Apnea? Or just run of the mill snoring?

Apnea. I've had three different tests run over the last three months or so, and it wasn't until the last one that they finally came back a week ago with something other than "inconclusive".

I don't snore at all unless I'm on my back, which I've learned not to do.

But I still occasionally stop breathing. It's apparently not too bad, but it deprives me of REM, which leaves me feeling thick-as-a-brick for much of the day.

Yesterday was MUCH different, back to my "old self", which is why I'm not looking forward to today. Tonight and tomorrow will be different again!

What are you using? Got any tips?

They issued me a Phillips Respironics REMStar Auto A-Flex with the humidifier.

This thread sure IS all-topic!

Interesting and educational as well.

Those CPAP units are becoming very common. And not just for seasoned citizens. I wonder how anyone can sleep at all while plumbed up, but everyone says they get used to it.
