Breathe This!

The breathing mask that came with the ResMed S7 Lightweight breathing machine to help me take in oxygen to let me sleep better was finally replaced this week by a nasal pillow.  I have to stick this new device right into my nostrils!  At least it's not as bad as the old breathing mask I used.  That mask put a rash on my face last month that was as big as a golf ball.  It took almost a week for that huge bump on my forehead to go down to a little brown mark.

Now I have comfort at last when I sleep at night.  My older brother, James, told me about the nasal pillow because he uses one with his breathing machine.  Sleep Apnea runs in the family, according to one of my doctors.
