how I got cozy with my machine....

When I first got my cpap, I was very anxious....however...after two nights I was feeling much better. In dealing with my new "BFF", I have named him and talk about him on FB like he is my boyfriend LOL....I've even NAMED him (yes, I have no life!!)....LOL....I think it helps to just make light of the fact and know that I am much safer sleeping WITH it than I ever was without it!! At least I know I am not NOT breathing anymore!!!

Hopefully this will help the newbies.....

I wrote the following after 6wks on the hose.

So, as I was enjoying this new body that CPAP has brought to me,
I thought about the mask and the machine and how it is almost a living thing.
......so it needs a name.

Grace, as in amazing grace.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav’d a wretch like me!
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ’d!"

It is the sweet sound of the mask and machine that is
saving me, and it did appear about the fourth day
when I stopped fighting the mask and believ'd.

It may just be that because of your new friend, you really do, in fact, have a life.

...and yes, let's hope the newbies are listening.

I named him Luke (as in "Luke I am your father").....because when it isn't on my face it sounds like Darth's breath LOL.......so I guess that's how "it" became a "he" LOL.....

You could have named it Dick. (As in Cheney.)
