Most people here seem to own their equipment although it is sometimes leased initially by the insurance company.

And most people seem to have new equipment.

Hey Bill!
How is it going with the 420E?

Buy a new hat, drink a good wine, treat yourself, and someone you love, to a new bauble, live while you are alive... you never know when the mid-town bus is going to have your name written across its front bumper!

Four nights now, and each night better than the last!

Only problem last night was congestion from the sawdust I was kicking up yesterday (couldn't locate a dust mask -- I should have run out to buy one) installing beadboard wainscoting in my son's room. That's a project that has been sitting for almost a year because I just didn't have the energy to attack the materials that were stacked in the garage.

Let me tell you, I was so physically tired I had no trouble going to sleep last night, but it was a very different feeling than the total exhaustion I was feeling a week ago this time.

By the time I finished up last night, showered, ate and finally crawled into bed it was rather late for getting up at 5:30 this morning. Today I can feel the true effects of my treatment: I'm tired because I didn't get enough sleep, but it isn't that thick-headed fog from before when I got lots of very poor quality sleep. I'm sleepy but alert instead of being brain dead like before. I got more done before lunch today than I normally get done in an entire day, and the mental alertness is continuing into the afternoon!

Tonight I'll go to bed earlier so I can get both quantity and quality sleep.

BTW, I'm still using the Swift and loving it more every night. I'm finding I can sleep on either side or my back and it neither leaks nor gets in my way. As a bonus, I can lie on my right, lift my chin and have air blow at my wife to really annoy her! Of course, she retaliates by trying to block the vents and bounce the air back at me.

Understanding? I get the impression that she figured that after only 3 nights of treatment that I could not only resume a full schedule of activities (aka honey-do chores) but that I should be making up for months if not years of lost time!

Grumble, complain, whine.
