Sleep Apnea: A Whole Lot Of Sexy


What was I thinking? I'm in  a Vanderbilt sleep study. I will be hooked up with lots of wires.  They will take samples of my blood every 2 hours for 24 hours. I'm  helping the world of snorers. It felt good at the time. Now that the appointment is here, my mind is looking for excuses.

I was surprised when I was asked to be part of  this study because I snore. That should tell you that I can sound like the Chattanooga ChooChoo. Not pretty. I made light of my situation until I was told that I have 100 disturbances per hour which can deprive air to the brain. That would explain many things David says. Isn't he sweet.

Snoring is not exactly flattering. The choices to help sleep apnea are disturbing. Ugly.  One is a contraption that looks like my plane is about to crash and my mask pops out. I look and sound like Darth Vader.  I could opt for device number 2.  A lovely item  that makes my lower jaw protrude outward.  May be nice if you live with a  Kayapo man who wears a disc in his lower lip. This does not make me feel sexy. Here's my lovely Ralph Lauren sleep gown  with a plastic head chapeau with tubes. Fantastic. I can also get surgery to enlarge my throat. What? Does that sound safe to you. I guess I could shove more food into it. Always a rainbow in every situation.

Good times
