Fixed that!

Woke up wide awake at 4AM. Woken up by Joe's CPAP actually, he'd lost his seal and it was fully ramped up to 20 and making a shit load of noise. Right into my ear.

Anyway...

Got up went to the bathroom. Took allergy medicine...fell back asleep in 30 minutes.

Awesome!

Slept to 8:15.

I feel more rested...but the cough is worse. But I feel more able to deal with the day. And that's a good thing.

Am looking forward to day spent on the couch. Joe is out shopping for ingredients for St. Patrick's day traditional corned beef and cabbage. I actually forgot to buy one last week. I'm slippin'.

Wow. You both have sleep apnea? Danny has sleep apnea AND restless leg syndrome. Or he has restless leg syndrome because he has sleep apnea...it only happens at night. It so happens that nicotine patches make RLS worse, Danny won't ramp down as fast as the instructions say, and so he is sleeping on a different floor than the rest of us. :D

His apnea is worse than mine!

Does Danny have a CPAP? RLS sucks...my Gram has it.

No. He flatly refuses to do anything about his sleep issues. His nose was deviated by his brother, several times. So he'd have to have surgery for that, which he wants no part of. I am chivvying him into line about so many other things that I just haven't been able to bully him into that yet.

Work on it...its dangerous.

I'll be sending Joe back to his Doctor in 6 months to redo labwork. The last exam showed he had the beginnings of High Blood Pressure and he's pre-diabetic....I'm hoping the CPAP will help/fix both.
