Good Luck
I'm so glad you will have family and friends to support you after your surgery. I will keep you in my prayers. If your friend needs to talk, let her know I will listen. Many blessings Cody! Chaska
I’m With You
yes I have and will continue working have been off my feet for a bit with viral meningitis
Prayer
Oh, don't think for a minute you bored me at all. I am delighted to have you as a new friend and to hear about all the trials and tribulations you have been through and how God has saved you from it all. Praise God! Isn't He awesome? We have alot in common as far as diagnosis. I also have sleep apnea and use a Bipap machine. I love it also. Without it, I sleep an hour to an hour and a half at a time without waking up. I was always miserable...and always tired back then. Now...boy can I sleep! I also have COPD, so I am definitely on oxygen. I use 3 liters at rest 4 on exertion and 5 when I sleep, as I desaturate significantly when I am sleeping. I sleep in a hospital bed, because I cannot sleep flat, or I feel as if I am drowning/suffocating. That is the Heart Failure. I am in the hospital usually about three times a year for a week with heart failure/pneumonia flareups. Anyway, I can really identify with all you are experiencing/ I wish you the best of luck and will be happy to talk to you at anytime. I hope you have joined both the Sleep Apnea support group as well as the Heart Failure group. Big Hugs! JOAnn
