CPAP Day Four

I walked the better part of a mile this morning and included a major hill climb. I stopped briefly in the middle of the hill to rest, but it wasn't any longer than thirty seconds. I think I walked every morning this week.

I just spent my fourth night with a CPAP machine. I managed to wear it for slightly over six hours. I can't say I'm feeling much more rested than before the CPAP, but I am adapting to it better. At some point during the night, it just becomes uncomfortable to wear. I take it off for a while and then put it back on for a few hours.

The worst part of using it is the very dry mouth I often wake up to. I mean, dry! My mouth is so dry I can't immediately produce any saliva to moisten my mouth. I now keep a water bottle on the night stand along with some Chapstick.
