So I got my new sleep apnea machine on Monday and well, the last few days have been kinda trying. Well not really, b/c it’s only been two nights, but damn these two nights have been HELL!!!
So i get the machine home, after a very long day of errands and i’m ready to start using it. I get it to my bedroom and get it set up and all. I pour in the distilled water and i’m like its a go. But first let’s read the instructions and all that jazz. I want to make sure that I have a proper sealing mask. I have a full face mask b/c i typically breath through my mouth.
It’s hard for me to try and focus on breathing through my nose, when ive been so used to breathing through my mouth all my life.
So i get it on, and it starts to suck away and then B-L-O-W…I’m like whoa…well the lady did say it was going to feel funny. But not that damn funny. So i adjusted the head band, first while sitting up, then laying down. I then turned to my side and had to adjust it again. You don’t realize how far out your chin sticks when you are on your side.
Unfortunately, I can’t lay on my face just yet. It’s too big. (I’ll put a pic at the end of this post). So it’s on my back or on my side. Well I get ready to start sucking in air, and then I realize…holy shit I can’t put my glasses back on. Whelp, she said no watching tv… I’ve got no problem with that. I’m blind as a fucking bat without my glasses or my contacts. If i want to watch tv in bed, I have to get up and put my contacts in, or hold my glasses in front of my face…..fuck that..i’ll just have to lay there and imagine what i think is happening on the tv. Or i’ll have to play it on my ipad, which would probably be right next to my pillow.
I said i was going to start vlogging. I did one video the night of. I need to edit it. But I’ve been busy. I’ll try to do them in the morning when i get to work. Before anyone else comes into my office.
I hope that in the next two months, I notice a difference. Right now, I notice me not being able to get comfy.
Last night i got to thinking…wow…i’m going to be alone for the rest of my life. unless i get with another fat chick like me who also has sleep apnea…cause that machine and face mask…are going to be pure hell on my bedside manner.
