IT'S WORKING !

Post by deerslayer » Wed May 20, 2009 6:19 am

Since being on cpap for a year & 1/2 now others have noticed a marked improvement in my overall health .one example is that i just made a solo trip from Nashville to Kansas City,MO to the HD plant there. i made the 600 mile trip on sunday & returned yesterday afternoon. ...it was a dream of mine to make such a trip to clear my head, especially since mom left this world in feb....some of my step children just think i've lost it. in any event i give all the recognition to cpap & cpaptalk.com , thank you Johnny. http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u167 ... tamy09.jpg

Yay, Deeslayer! Dreaming at night, and making dreams come true during the day - what could be better.
(It took non-motorcycle-oriented me a few minutes the figure out what HD was - but I did!).
