I could use a nap this morning. Oh well, it's off to work I go.

I actually got some sleep last night. Nose was too stuffy to use my CPAP. I worry that I don't use it enough. My respiratory therapist said that this machine communicates with big brother through a cell connection and if I don't use it for at least 4 hours a night 80% of the time, insurance will not authorize it and I have to send it back. I have insomnia and am often up for hours at a time. Now I have the additional stress of making sure that thing is on for at least four hours.

No for me this am.

Sitting in waiting room to be anesthetized.

You have plenty of life left you can't leave us yet.

Pumpkin and Raccoon Shoot at My Place November 2nd!

I was at the last one. It was a good time. Uzi does an awesome job.

It's not even that cold out. I rode the bike to work today. I could have gotten in trouble though. I'm on a permit right now and I'm not supposed to ride earlier than a half hour before sunrise(so 6:32 today) but I had to leave at 6:15.

 

[CTC B4Z]

True outlaw now. Watch out

 

[tv1217]

Lol, point was it's not that cold out, even when I rode out before sun up.

 

[CTC B4Z]

What patch does this give you

 

[CTC B4Z]

How many more inches can you cut off your exhaust pipe now

Same situation with my wife. Ended up buying our own and using some software to fine-tune it and she is sleeping better than the one originally prescribed. Not as good as free, but ended up better off and with a much better machine and no harassment from insurance.

This is exactly why I use a full mask instead of a nasal mask. I actually get a great night's sleep even if I have a cold or allergies kick up, etc.

Mine doesn't do that, but mine has a chip. I actually have 2 different machines, each with a chip. The doctor's office can't read the chip from one of my machines and takes my word for it that I use it. But they also have history from my other machine that shows I average 6-7 hours of use and I have a 99.5% record of using it.

Mine is through VA and every 3 months when I call to order supplies the machine sends the stats over the phone. I get a100% every time. I use a Phillips Amara View mask. It is a very minimalist full face mask that fits under the nose and between my lower lip and chin.

In other news the surgery was flawless.

 

[Snapdragon]

Glad the surgery went well, Tom.

I might be able to tolerate the full face mask now that I'm accustomed to the nasal mask. I'll see how it goes for a few more weeks.

 

[tv1217]

I waste a significant portion of my free time either sleeping and just otherwise not doing much so I kinda want to fill it in with new things/projects/whatever. So I think the first thing I'm gonna do on that front is take it upon myself to learn how to weld, partly because I'm not totally confident my job is going to exist in 5 years. I've been looking at a multi process welder for about $400 I can start with MIG or stick and work my way up to TIG.

 

[CTC B4Z]

I enjoy doing absolutely nothing in my free time. I've got plenty of stuff to do. Yet I just sit and do nothing. I'm a lazy bum and probably the 2nd laziest person I know
