*A CPAP Christmas*

[HeidiHose]

'Twas the night before Christmas and my cpap was ready,
my mask was strapped on to my little fat heady!
The hose was draped nicely to my bedpost with care,
in hopes that it wouldn't get tangled in my hair.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while thoughts of mom's snoring danced in their heads.
The humidifier was set and the chinstrap was tight,
and I settled down for a nice nighty-night.

When later that night there arose such a clatter,
they sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.
My pressure was high and I awoke,
Tore off the mask for I started to choke!

I gasped and I swore and I threw off that thing,
hitting the floor with a big bada-bing!
When, what to my watering eyes should appear
But the children all watching, frightened with fear.

My eyes were all puffy, my face was all red,
I knew in a moment I peed in the bed!
The mask had leaked and began to wane,
It whistled, and sputtered, and I went insane!

"Now Activa! now, Swift! now, Aura and Breeze!
On, FlexiFit! On, Phantom! on, Oracle, oh, Puh-leaze!
From the best of the best! to the worst of them all!
Now dash away! Dash away! To hell with you all!

And then, in a twinkling, I heard someone say,
"Try it again; it'll be okay!"
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
From the other side of my bed, my hubby I found.

He was there in his jammies, next to me did he lie,
He picked up my mask and told me "don't cry!"
A mess did I look, so crumpled and sad,
and tired, oh my, did I look real bad!

His eyes-how they twinkled! his voice was so kind;
His cheeks were like roses, HE had a clear mind!
"How does he do it?" I thought, "What a creep!"
Then I remembered..."ah, yes, he CAN SLEEP!"

He spoke no more words, but went straight to his work,
and gave me a hug, though I'd been a jerk.
Giving me water, and wiping my nose,
He gave me my mask and hooked up the hose.

So me and my hubby and CPAPPY make three,
Sleeping is something that just has to be!
I will not, I cannot, give up the good fight,
"Happy Pappy to all, and to all a good night!"

Absolutely wonderful! I was a goner when I got to this line:

"Now Activa! now, Swift! now, Aura and Breeze!
On, FlexiFit! On, Phantom! on, Oracle, oh, Puh-leaze! "

Thanks so much!
