I may not have much or be much, but may God help me, in spite of myself, to give it my all. Sunday, November 23, 2014. I would have been willing to see a sleep psychiatrist again, but I'm happy that he ended up being a sleep pulmonologist instead. With my breathing issues and musc...

http://www.ugottafriend.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. The CPAP has been overwhelmingly unsuccessful thus far. At best, it will prevent death by sleep apnea because the oxygen is being pushed into my nose, but I'm sleeping no more than I have been. In fact, I have times when I give up and take the mask off my face because I can't stand it anymore. Edit Note 3/30: I saw my doctor today. The study results showed that my breathing was compromised 79 times in the 3 hours I was asleep. We're disappointed that I'm not sleeping bet...I rec...

Saturday, August 29, 2015. Hurricane Katrina: 10 Years. I was going to post a heavy blog about the 10 year remembrance of Hurricane Katrina, which gutted my state's entire beautiful coastline.

No matter where life takes me, it will always be my home. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. I Have Systemic Disease - An Open Letter of Awareness. I wanted to share all o...

Friday, July 31, 2015. My July, via Instagram. Spent the day with my sweet stepfather. He's having a hard time without Mom around, and I've been having some pretty difficult days myself. We went to see Jurassic Park 22 years ago, so today we went to see Jurassic World. Pretty cool. Neither one of us are in the best of health, so I'm glad we were both up and around enough to do this.
