Lurching Happily Along

Post by steam261 » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:45 am

Four nights...four consecutive nights of solid, comfortable, refreshing sleep. Before they added O2 to my treatment. I'd wake up every two hours, use the bathroom and struggle to go back to sleep for an hour. They added O2, and I either wake up once per night, or not at all. And when I do wake up, I wander into the "facility", do my business, return to bed and am out light the proverbial light in five minutes or less.

I wake up in the morning happy, refreshed, no headache. Stretch, giggle and get up. This is way too pleasant. I am still waiting for the "other shoe" to drop.

Isn't it lovely when something actually WORKS?

Lovely, startling, delightful. I never in my life thought I'd say this, but I am sooooo glad to be receiving O2. I haven't felt this good in 12 years.

A "WOOHOO" is appropriate, I think.
