Well, actually I think you died... a long long time ago.... in a galaxy far far away. I didn't think ghosts needed CPAP machines.
Me? I produce equipment for natural gas production.

I am a retired Financial Controller,mostly chemical manufacturing,Been retired since I was 53(now 65) I decided to take a year off work because of stress and just never went back. Have not ever regretted it. Now I look back perhaps OSA was already a problem for me.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
Initial sleep study 8/3/2011
Second study with CPAP titration 8/20/2011
Recv'd results Sept 6, 2011 - haven't figured out what it all means, yet.

Interesting group of people we have here. There should be "like" buttons one each post.
I was a Xerox Field Engineer for 36 years. I serviced high speed color and monochrome laser printers that produced billing, insurance policies, and electronic books. I spent a couple of nights a week on 24 hour call (not good for someone with SA).
I retired after 36 years and went back to tech school for a year to train for the Cisco CCNA certification (Cisco Network Specialist). I finished the course with a 4.0, graduated with honors, and I'm still boning up to sit for the CCNA exam. At $250 a pop for the Cisco exam, I only want to take it once! I don't have to work anymore, but always wanted to increase my network knowledge. I'm hoping to do some part time network tech work.
I'm also a lead guitar player who was in cover bands for about 25 years on weekends. Now, I play guitar in a Christian contemporary band at church. I still get to play music with classic rock roots, but Christian lyrics, and get to exercise my Pink Floyd and Skynyrd style guitar licks. It's a great gig for an old rocker!
