Silent Stroke and Sleep Apnea

Post by Emilia » Fri Mar 16, 2012 10:51 am

Saw this article today: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-michae ... 42311.html
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

Sure is, Maxie!

I already knew about the relationship between OSA and stroke, heart disease, diabetes, etc., but re-reading these stats in this article is fresh motivation for me.

Cheers,

Wow, now I'm definitely glad I decided to FINALLY get my sleep study done a couple weeks ago...

Thanks for sharing,
