If You Have a Sleep Disorder

If you have a sleep disorder, I strongly advise that you have it checked Apparently, if it is serious enough, it can even lead to death Was diagnosed with very serious "sleep apnea" a while ago The treatment, is extremely difficult to get used to Ever try sleeping with two plastic thingies stuck up your nose I guess I'll get used to it eventually People that have been using a machine like this for years Swear by it and tell me the results will be fantastic... like night and day But I must be patient and persevere. It will take a little while to get used to Really? Are you saying eventually I won't notice these thingies up my nose? Maybe if I drug myself till I think I'm a fairy princess Or a famous Shakespearean actor in tights I'm willing to give it a shot! Oops! Sorry, lost my train of thought there The thought of me prancing around as a fairy princess Has always kind of appealed to me... oops! I mean, as a Prince Charming Now back to my sleep apnea, wish me luck It's supposed to make me more rested, sweet and happy SO GET OUT OF MY FACE TILL THEN YOU GUYS! We must be patient, this is not going to happen overnight! © Jack Ellison 2014

My apologies dear Debbie! Will correct that! About losing pounds, I've dropped 15 in the last couple of months... that definitely will help! Thanks for your concern sweetie! Higgsies, Jack XXX

My problem is waking up every hour on the hour to run to the bathroom. It's not really a potty problem. Epilepsy keeps waking me up all hours of the night. I just can't go back to sleep without the visit...LOL. When the epilepsy pacemaker was working I finally slept all night. Now I'm just a hop, skip, and a jump... from hop, skipping, and jumping over all the animals while on my journey. Dragon is the toughest... to get around. Every time I start to get around him... he rolls over some more...
