Glad she saved him.
Sorry for any loss.

I went for the sleep test and found out I wasn’t breathing more than I was breathing in my sleep. Besides the noise of snoring and keeping her awake she was tired of waking me up from not breathing or to get me to stop snoring. It’s a win win.

She went and got a sleep test and has a CPAP as well. So some have said is the sleep machine like a soda in the old days…. On a date when you have 2 straws in one. Answer is no. Two machines.

Kathe had her uvula mostly removed when she was about 10 years old. They took it with her tonsils - she had a really bad case of tonsillitis. Back then they called it a Quinsy sore throat. You don't hear that any more - the correct term is peritonsillar abscess. She's never had any ill effects from it that I know of. Looks a little strange when you peer down her throat. Neither of us has apnea. Neither of us snores much that I know of. Strange noises are more apt to come out the other end on both of us.

I always figured they looked like a punching bag for an ant 🐜 to practice boxing on.

When I read that, my mind went right to the gutter, then I looked it up on the internet and found out what it was. I wasn't really interested in it anymore. I see you guys have it all sorted out. Good job!

I had asked my Doctor, who is a great one, "Do you think I have seep Apnea"? Because for quite a while I had been getting up out of bed and my chest just ached and he said he didn't think so. So one time my wife went in with me for some reason and I asked him again. He turned to my wife who he had worked with when he had a patient in the hospital and asked her, "does he stop breathing at night"? and she said yes and since he respected her, he said he wanted me to get a sleep study test. I had a large bundle of wires attached from literally head to foot. When it was over, the nurse said the doctor reviewing the data was behind and they would call in about 3 weeks. I finally got the call and the nurse explained, Mr. Hansen if you stopped breathing 5 times an hour it need to be addressed and if you stopped breathing 30 times an hour it is serious and Mr. Hansen you stopped breathing 40 times an hour and we need you to come back in to see what machines and oxygen pressure setting you need. As a result I have a CPAP machine as well as an Oxygen Concentrator. The Concentrator is noisy so I leave it outside the bedroom door, and run the small oxygen hose, we have all seen attached to many people, where it attaches to the output of my CPAP. I take it all very serious and never sleep with out it ever since I got that Generator. You see the aching I had in my chest was because my heart was not getting the rest it need to rejuvenate itself. I was only getting mid 70 Oxygen levels instead of upper 90's which is normal so My heart was not being able to refresh itself after the previous days work. So every morning going into work my chest just ached because it was tired. I am so LUCKY!

Hey, Oz. Check out the DreamWear headgear. It works great for me and I’m also a stomach sleeper. (When my back allows) the top hose connection really makes a difference. Also works great with a fuzzy face😜 as far as the uvula removed, no ill effects except for the really sore throat after surgery…🐟on

That is the one they set me up with my nose is super sensitive, hairs drive me crazy.

So I use a mask that covers my nose and mouth.

On the inside hair and facial, so I keep them cleaned out on the inside and trimmed on my facial hair.

Kerry Hansen Loc: Bremerton, WA

That is what I use. Best of all the ones I have tried.

My problem is that I can't keep my mouth shut while sleeping, even with a strap to hold it shut. The mask I am using does a fair job, I can hook it under my chin but I still wake up with a dry mouth. Just one of those lowlife mouth breathers,I guess.

Well at least it doesn’t mean you talk in your sleep.

DozerDave Loc: Port Orchard Wa.

Yeah, I like that the hose connects at the top of my head. I drape the hose over the top of the headboard and I can roll over and over and over and never tangle the hose… 🐟on

DozerDave Loc: Port Orchard Wa.

Yeah,Farmer there is a learning curve. I find myself breathing out my mouth occasionally, but it usually wakes me up and then go back to breathing thru my nose. But doesn’t happen often. IMO it’s the best, if you can adjust to it…🐟on

No doubt it helps in a lot of ways.
