I am at work again, but this weekend, my wife and I had a blast. On Saturday, we set up a booth at a Halloween Festival and we made some money and had lots of fun. This is her facebook site for her business and there are pics of the show for everyone interested to view.

Irvington Halloween Festival | Facebook

(Edit: a fun note about the show, we linked her smartphone to her Macbook and ran credit cards from 3G phone coverage because there were no wifi signals nearby.)


Then on Sunday, we went and hung out with a friend and carved pumpkins. and then gave out candy at our house for trick-or-treaters...

Today went back to hospital for some lung capacity test, etc.
Going back tomorrow for a consultation for a cpap machine.
Hopefully i might start getting some proper sleep.

Hope it works out OK for you Jon, my husband suffers from it but not severe enough to need a machine yet although a friend of mine has used one for years.

Had no internet after this point, and forgot about it when i got back from the north.

To date it has been going quite good. Took a bit of time to get used to the mask, but no real probs with it now.
I certainly sleep better, though the dogs (2 staffy's) still manage to wake me when THEY think i should be up, lol.

The Handbrake reckons she can tell the difference. "Got my hubby of old back".
Don't wake up with headaches, so that is definitely a bonus.

Got an appointment with the cpap man tomorrow, just to see if everything is working out. Still need to go for another stay in hospital for 1 night WITH the machine, to compare vs the first stay.

In Aus, these machines are quite expensive, compared to the U.S. cpap $1900 / $2000. Mask around $275, and that are specials i found on the net locally.

Today, I did my civic duty, and participated in the political process. I was tempted to write in Pee-Wee Herman's name on the ballot.....he couldn't be any worse than some of the politicians.

Similar experience here with Wife's cpap. And yes they are expensive.

My experience of 20 years ago exemplifies the counter intelligence of the corporate thinking of insurance companies. The cost of her first cpap was $750 USD. I had already paid up my yearly deductible so my 20% = $150; insurance cost $600. After 3 months of deliberation, insurance co decided they would not insure any part of the cost ... except that under Medicare rules they would be willing to pay $100/month for 14 months. Then in January, I was informed I would have to pay my deductible again so my eventual total cost was about $750, but the insurance co also paid $750. If I were Spock, I would raise one eyebrow here and say: "Humans are not logical."

Just got back from my appointment with the cpap man.
Prior to getting the machine i had 32 apneas in 1 hour, with the longest one being 75 seconds.

He downloaded the data and was very happy (me too). Only around 2 minor ones per night.

Going back next tuesday afternoon to get wired up again, but not staying in hospital as they are booked out till Christmas or after.
This means "the handbrake" will get a giggle seeing me in a weird state overnight.

Checked out our private health and we do get a little money back, but nothing special. Still worth it in the end, though.

Sounds like a frightening condition, Jon.
