6 Months on Bi-Level CPap

Last night marked my 6th month on therapy. 6 Months ago I could not drive 15 minutes without passing out at the wheel.
My AHI at my sleep study 140, and the last 30 day AHI is 1.1.

Today, I took my Barbara out on Fall Foliage ride to look at the beautiful colors that fall brings us before winter.
I drove almost 5 ½ hours 345 miles one way to Nicholasville, KY. NOT one time did I even feel like falling asleep, wasn’t even tired.
We stopped at our favorite BBQ and had dinner and came back home. Six months ago I would not have even attempted such a trip.
I have my freedom back!

I am sure if I did not take the step in finding out was wrong with me, and following through with my therapy I would have been dead by now.
I was told by my nurse that I would die faster from lack of sleep then lack of food.

I can’t thank the people here on this Website/Forum for the support and knowledge that I have received.
I know I would never have gotten this far without you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Congrats on living life again.

I'm right there with you as one of those scary high AHI of 131. So I know what you were going though!!

Congratulations! Thanks for the lovely story of your trip. You should post this update on the Newbie Success Stories up at the top of the home page! It will give encouragement to others.
