Oxygen is my New Friend

So it would seem that for most of my life
I've lived with O2 Deprivation.
I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea,
officially, because I've been told for several years
I probably have it, but finally took the sleep study.

An amazing adventure in being wired and watched.

It turns out that within two hours of sleep my O2
level was at 51%. That's apparrently low enough
to cause some concern. lol.

So for a bit over two weeks now,
I've been using a CPAP machine (forced air)
and an oxygen generator, while sleeping.
I'm still adjusting to the mask,
although it's not as bad as I imagined.

I am beginning to see some changes resulting
I assume
from not being in physiological panic from O2 deprivation every night,
such as
My tasting has changed.
Stuff tastes different.
Didn't expect that.
I am experiencing longer lasting energy,
but am still prone to sleepiness late evening.
`Course it used to be late afternoon... so that is a change.
I can also do hard physical work
without getting sore and tired and achey, that's nice.

I know I've lived in a state of lack concerning O2 for some years,
perhaps even decades as I've been told my snoring is atrocious
for all of my adult life.
So I assume my body has some healing to do,
and knowing that our cells undergo constant renewal,
and in fact every 12 months our body is 98% brand new,
some organs renewing every 7 days or less, I expect
to feel and be much healthier in the coming months,
and I accept this will be a process, not quickly over, of improvement.

And I am feeling blessed by Oxygen tonight!
Much love and deep breathing, Sue
