I've been sleeping in a wind tunnel for last few nights. At least, that's what it felt like. I've been wearing a BI-PAP mask to bed and it looks just like one of those oxygen masks that athletes use, only it provides a positive-pressure environment over my nose and mouth. I can exhale with ease, but if I hesitate to inhale, it pushes in with a breath's worth of oxygen and forces me to breathe, thus getting around the apnea. I've been getting better sleep and am starting to feel more refreshed in the mornings.
Jim Y came by this morning with Michelle, and they loaded me into Jim's van for a walk around Lakewood Center Mall. Jim provided me with walking support and Michelle pulled the O2 cart with us. I don't know exactly how far I walked, but it was continuous for almost an hour. We started just inside the mall entrance at CPK and turned around before making it to the merry-go-round in the center.
We had lunch at CPK, and Michelle entertained us with stories about the recent mission to Uganda. She will be by next week to share her photos with me.
Brother John is being moved today to Country Villa in Long Beach. This is hopefully the last transfer for awhile.
