Sleeping
As you know, I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. For anyone who doesn't know, it means I spend the night snoring like a tractor and sometimes gasping for breath. I don't wake up for this performance but the result is that I never get a proper night's sleep. Ergo, I'm always tired and looking for a nap. The sleep clinic at the Churchill gave me a testing machine to wear overnight and, yes indeed, I have sleep apnea. I have an appointment in June to be fitted up with a CPAP machine for which I have high hopes. It will mean sleeping with a mask or cannula but I have reached the point where I will do it. Apparently the muscles in my throat collapse and this machine blows the air past them. When I am all fitted up, I will do a selfie and post it for your enjoyment.
