We all believe strongly, for instance, that Justice Scalia likely died of sleep apnea - it can provoke strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, kldney disease, etc. Plus who cares when lights go out?
thanks, we both know. What I meant with that statement was she did not want to go with a dental appliance, she couldn't stand something in her mouth like that. She wants to go with the CPAP. Now you have me looking up Scalia's death. :lol:

I spent a fortune on my teeth and don't want to take a chance to mess up my mouth. Anyone ever have braces and the pain after adjustments? I will pass.
