One year anniversary

Post by LilBuckaroo » Tue Jan 03, 2006 3:58 pm

One year ago today, I started my journey into OSA and CPAP “land”. I cannot say that it all has been an enjoyable journey. As with any journey, it has had its share of high points, low points and plateaus. At this particular point, I am on one of those plateaus. This is not unexpected, so I will continue on this journey. I have resigned my to the fact that I will be using a CPAP and a mask until I die, unless some miracle cure comes along.

I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope that it is not on a train coming towards me.

Congrats on your first year!
Sincerely,

So you have made it past your first year in commitment with you lovely CPAP

Almost seems like a marriage with its ups and downs eh.

Congratulations on your first anniversary. I believe it takes a lot of commitment to stick to this.

God bless
Chelle

Likewise, congratulations!

Thanksgiving, roughly, was my one year with this cpap stuff. I joined cpaptalk at the time of my sleep study. This year for me also had many ups and downs. But I am grateful for all of it. The ups and downs were far better than the nothingness I was experiencing during the later stages of my untreated apnea.

Thanks for all of your kind comments. I appreciate them very much. I have had other challenges in my life and I have stood up and said, "You're not going to beat me", and this one is no different.
