Can a Sleep Study Save Your Life?

Carbon dioxide toxicity (2) -300

If you have sleep apnea (you stop breathing while you sleep) a sleep study can most definitely save your life.  However, if you don’t apply the treatment to prevent your sleep apnea, then the sleep study is worthless!

Sleep apnea is deadly!

When you stop breathing during your sleep, your oxygen level drops robbing your body of this life giving nutrient, but that isn’t the worst part.

When you stop breathing, your carbon dioxide level climbs causing an acidic condition in your body that literally fries your brain and all your internal organs!

If you are ignoring your sleep apnea, you MUST be aware that you are risking your life!

Got a death wish?

Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia can effectively take your loved one from you.  Though your lives go on, the person you loved is gone.  They are no longer who they were.  Someone else is living with you.

Grieving for the loss of a loved one that is not dead is a heart wrenching kind of pain.

Grief Sucks: Ever Had Your Heart Ache So Bad You Thought It Would Kill You?

Grief is inevitable, it is a part of life.

The more that we love, the more that we will come to know grief.

I know it well today. My good friend Terry died last night.

I miss her already.

I’ve shared Terry’s story with you recently. She had fought so long, but we thought she had finally got a foothold. We thought she was finally out of the woods. Oh was she happy to be home!

I was shocked when my daughters Briana and Makayla met me at my van as I pulled in my driveway after dark.

Briana said, “Mommy, Jonathan called…….he said Terry passed away.”

My heart sank, and my only thought was, “why didn’t I hug her the last time I saw her.”

Though I knew why. I didn’t hug her because I had muddy shoes on, and now I will never get another chance to hug her.

“Why didn’t I get over there more often,” was my next thought.

I know the answer to that question too. There was no excuse, I just got caught up in the busy life of raising kids and working long hours.

But it was more than that……… Continue reading Grief Sucks: Ever Had Your Heart Ache So Bad You Thought It Would Kill You?
