Re: CPAP nights... What's a CPAP machine? What does CPAP mean?)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Just one question before I sympathize and support you in your Life Lift

efforts:

My question is this: What is a CPAP machine? What does CPAP mean?

All right, I know what you are going to say right off, before you answer

me, and that is this: You have asked two questions, not one. And you

are right!!! So, please do answer my TWO QUESTIONS, my friend!!!

And now for my sympathy and support!! Actually, here's my sympathy,

first!! I am sorry that you are having so much trouble with so many

different things, all having to do with your MS!! Please know that if I

could take the disease away from you and through it in the garbage,

where it rightfully belongs, I would do so gladly, as long as I would

not have to suffer from it myself in the process!! No one should have

to have MS, most especially not a sweet lady like you, my dear !!

And now for the support: Please keep on keeping on with Life Lift as

much and as often as you can. It does not matter if you falter on some

days. I think that you can expect that, given your very tough physical

challenge!! Anyway, please continue doing as much Life Lift as you can

whenever you can, and may God bless you always, whether you do it or not.

a great day despite all of your discomfort, pain and... Well,

anyway, , have a great day!!!

Love always,

Pat

Pat, A CPAP machine is a machine with a mask that you wear when you go to sleep

to help you breathe. It's for sleep apnea. Liz

Hi Liz,

Thanks for that explanation. I have known people who have had sleep

apnea in the past who used the kind of machine that you describe, but I

did not know the name of it. Now I know that it is called a CPAP

machine. I guess those letters probably stand for " cardio pulmonary

something or other " . Anyway, thanks!!!

Love always,

Pat
