I regularly go through my Facebook memories to whittle them down to 1 post per day per year. Whenever I can I choose to remember joyful moments.
This week in 2019 my beloved bought me a red velvet cake to celebrate my CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine’s arrival.
Those early days were TOUGH. I did not easily adapt to this device.
But now? Now I feel nervous if I don’t have my CPAP when falling asleep. This happens when the power is out or if there is a mechanical issue. Those nights are fitful sleeps with lots of tossing and turning.
I’ve started to love the lack of snoring. I really hate spontaneous naps that are stopped by me gagging on my own throat. Scary. Gross. I’m over it.
I do feel more rested more often. And you know I’m Desperately seeking slumber
Even better in the past 7 years I find more people are open about using a CPAP and sharing strategies to adapt to using it regularly. I think this is the positive peer support we need to persevere and overcome our individual barriers to donning the mask each night.
These are the upsides of social media we need!
