Sleep Apnea Fairy

Post by roster » Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:10 am

I got a chuckle out of seeing this in my morning newspaper. It seems sleep apnea and CPAP are finally becoming well known.

If the good sleep apnea fairy has an evil twin it sure would explain some of those mysterious leaks I get at night.
Very funny cartoon.

Like it, it almost suggests we have a fairly watching over us all the time. You could almost say that the head strap looks like a halo and we're all saints

And to think a couple of months ago I just went to the doctor cause i had a snoring problem.

Next thing I know I was hooked up and looking like I was part of a deep sea diving team.

I have learned a lot and i feel more rested over all. so far it has been an interesting journey to say the least.

My husband left our comics page folded on my keyboard this morning. I looked, and nearly fell over!

I have a "sock fairy" - wonder if they're related?

I think she does the underwear drawer too

Very cute, but you're not really famous until it hits the National Enquirer!

Dori, Funny you should mention that. I just happen to have access to the headlines of tomorrow's Enquirer.

Hmmm, in view of recent leak problems, I fear I may be fairyless... Maybe that pesky buzzing fly I swatted off my mask the other night...
