I've been on Steemit

I wondered where you went. I was afraid of another fall or worse. Glad you are back, sir. I've not been posting much here. I hit my goal of 100 pounds lost last month and now do one or two low-carb meals a day to keep it off. Take care!

thanks.
no falls....just good old sleep apnea. two hours awake...three asleep.
kinda relaxing actually.

My wife keeps bugging me to set up a diagnostic visit for sleep issues. I dream about being underwater which explains why I stop breathing. I used suggestion to get myself to stop dreaming about being underwater and it seems to have helped. However, I'm not getting the rest I used to even with 7 hours of sleep time with usually one potty break. Growing old ain't for sissies as my mom used to say.

If you don't have insurance be prepared to pay a LOT for a sleep study
by a lot I mean $8K. (interpretation of the results, doctors visit cost extra)

Well, I won't be doing anything not covered by Medicare. I'm not disappointed. I had hernia surgery in February and the laparoscopic surgery was not robust enough so I have this baseball sized abdominal distension because the damn mesh is "pouching out". They just put the mesh inside the abdominal wall, but did not sew the hole shut nor put a second mesh patch on the outside like they used to do. I had hernia repair in 1962 that was just fine. So now they do it half-assed and I'm F****D. Endure a second surgery with it's risks or live with the pain and hassle of the bulge. My wife named it "Wilson". I had a nasty case of urinary retention after the surgery and I fear that again more than anything.
