12 Nights

OldBones-Larry
5 4 33

I began BiPAP therapy 12 nights ago. Tonight will be the 13th night.

I seem to be having better nights since I got the machine. The other night, I actually slept close to 11 hours. I haven't slept that long in years.

I think my Oxygen saturation is staying closer to where it should be also.

Getting used to the mask has been really fun though. I have several places that are very sore from the pressure points. I know it will get better though as I get more used to the mask being on.

I will close for tonight and wish you all a great night.

Keep those quits going strong my friends. You can finish your journey and enter the other side of NML free from Nic's influence.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be,

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
