Sleep Is A Good Thing



So, in less than 3 weeks, I managed to get in to the sleep doctor, get my sleep study done, get back in for results to be read, and get my C-Pap.

From what I understand, this is fairly fast.

I got it home last night, should have registered online but didn't.
I got a program where it will upload the data to the cloud.
It will make it make it easier for the doctors to help manage my machine and follow up.
I still need to get a SD card for it to have a hard copy locally.

So far, I am happy with my choice of device and mask.
I seemed to be able to sleep last night and it didn't bother Elsolel.
She did have to put a blanket over her shoulders since the exit hole put a stream of air onto it.

I have to check about temperature of the air.
I seemed to be warm last night and it could be that the temperature had been set to 80ยบ as the default.
I know lowering the temperature will be ok but at a certain point, it will cause condensation in the tube and that is bad.

I am, however, disappointed in the fact that I am not able to use the MyAir app on my android device like I was told.

I am, also, unable to register my insurance on the resupply website.


Still not doing as much physically as I would want.
I will be glad when the weather eases up and I don't have to worry about locking Lennon outside.
I had to leave him for a bit on Friday and he trashed some stuff inside.


Insurance changed.
They changed my insulin test strips from One Touch to Contour Comfort Strips.
Will finish using my other strips and work the new ones in.
I just have to worry about them expiring before I can get to them.

Speaking of insurance, I managed to meet my annual out of pocket of $3500 by Jan 31.
I reordered pump supplies, refilled 5 meds, and had a couple appointments.
One of the biggest reasons for me going thru with the weight loss surgery is to reduce my medical costs.
I could always use the VA but I prefer to use outside resources as long as I can.


My second appointment went well for my weight loss surgery.
I have been working on logging food on a regular basis.
The struggle is real for keeping up the daily logging.

I also need to work on better planning my food so I can shop for food more effectively.
I also need to work on better portion control.
Logging is helping with that as I need to think about portions.
I did get a small food scale to help with portions.




I am asking for your support for my annual fund raiser.
I have chose Team Rubicon for this year.
