Yay Me!! I'm "Pappy-Free!"

Good morning folks.      After 7 1/2 years of sleeping with my beloved CPAP, I am finally pappy-free! Last night was the first night I was brave enough to even try. For those of you who have had to sleep with a pappy of your own, you know what a big deal this is.      I remember what I felt like before pappy came into my life and, frankly, it scared the bejeezes outta me to even think about sleeping without it. I must've made at least 5 runs to the ER with heart palpitations and shortness of breath.      My insanely gorgeous, wonderful, brilliant husband said he didn't hear a peep out of me all night...not even once. (Wish I could say the same about his side of the bed. LOL)  Today is a happy day.  Oh! Scale finally moved 2 lbs too. *phew* Was starting to worry. Anyway, have a safe and spectacular weekend friends.  xoxo Mare  Flag

Oh you lucky lucky girl!!!!!    I started with my cpap in March and can't imagine life without it now because I feel so much better.  Did you have another sleep study or just felt like you don't need it any more?  This will be good info for me to store in the back of my mind for future reference. Congrats on both your freeness and your weight lose!

Hey Donna,      Well, I have been feeling so incredibly wonderful lately that I knew I didn't need it anymore. I am below the weight I was when I started it and just had to get the nerve up to JUST DO IT! So glad I did. This is my favorite "WOW" to date.  You'll see! Your day's coming too. xoxo

WHOO HOOOO!!!!    I can't wait to get rid of that thing.  I have to come into work with 'mask marks' on my face everyday.  I have to pull the mask really tight, otherwise, it slips off while I'm asleep.  I STILL have mask marks on my face at 9:20 am.  GEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!  Until around lunch time I look like I just crawled out from under my rock!

I used the gel mask - covered the nose - and hubby said I looked like a teddy bear in the morning with the ring around my nose. LOL *FYI*  He also called me "nipple head" from the 2 dots above my eyebrows from the support bar with the 2 cushions with the tiny holes in 'em. LMAO xoxo Mare

Ahhh sweet freedom from pappy LOL Mare, I swear I sleep better than I have ever slept before in my life and my goodness it feels wonderful. I still have those times that I can fall asleep sitting up on the couch but I think the reason for that is I have to be totally into what I am watching. I watch very little TV and in fact dont know how to turn it on LOL Lee has many remotes for this and that. I do know how to turn on the xbox.                                          Annie

It is never too late to be what you might have been.?
