Hair and Sleep

 

Sorry I haven’t posted an update like I said I would. I think I have been sleeping better with the O2. Kenn said I am getting up less often. So far, I have been successful in not getting tangled in the supply tubing. Otherwise, we have had to kick the dogs out of the bedroom in order to keep the cats out. We’re pretty sure Gracie would chew the tubing. Luckily, it’s only while we are both gone that we have to keep everyone out of the bedroom.

I’m not crazy about these pictures, but tonight is the first time I have used any heat styling tools on my hair since I lost it in September of last year. Yes, it’s getting long, and yes, I’m planning to let it keep growing until it gets to about chin level, then I’ll try styling it some more.

More sleep needed…

 

Mini update on sleep apnea: I need CPAP but that takes up to 4 weeks to get set up and delivered. So, they brought the O2 concentrator for me today and I need to wear it when I’m sleeping. It’s set very low, just to 2 liters per minute. We had been planning to move my dresser around and this was just the push we needed to get it done. It will be interesting to see how it works, if the tubing gets tangled, and if I will sleep better because of it. I will update tomorrow.

Still coughing...

 

I went to urgent care today because my cough was getting worse. The provider still believes it is an exacerbation of my asthma. I got a nebulizer treatment and a prescription for steroids. Should feel better in a couple of days. The frustrating thing is the cough, it sounds terrible, like I’ve got some horribly contagious disease when it’s really just my asthma.
