The fluffy layabed is back...

I have missed the fine people in this group a lot.
So - I shut down some other NGs to allow me time to access this one again.
Afraid my reading it will still be erratic. I am still suffering from some
weird sleep disorder that renders me unconscious for long periods. For
example, I just slept completely through Sunday... But I /will/ get in here

Glad to see you back, Moses, people seem to come and go from the group for
various reasons. I wondered about you a few times.

DUKEY!!!!!!

I'm so glad to see you again. I've been wondering how you are doing and
what you're up to. How are the cats and how are you doing other than the
sleep disorder? Rob says to tell you hi.

Only one catboss these days - Chaos the minimainecooncat. Although she's 16
come Halloween, she still thinks she's young.
My health ... well, let's just say I'm "maintaining". No further major heart
problems; the nerve deterioration seems to have slowed; the C-PAP keeps me
breathing all night long.

Unfortunately, I'm having air-intake difficulties when awake these days.
Kinda like there's a tight elastic strap about my chest, interfering with
inhaling. Not painful, but REALLY aggravating! Griped about it to the
doctor. He looked at my latest body xrays and told me it's because of the
rotting spine - as the vertebrae decrease, the spine shortens (naturally)
and puts increased pressure on chest cavity. Not at all unusual in people
with my problem. Not a thing to be done about it, it seems, just "live with
it". Ah weel... at least I am still breathing.

What sort of mischief are you and Rob up to these days?

Hi Duke:

We have not met, I have only been posting here a little while. But I
thought I would interject and introduce myself on account of the fact
that you might be interested in another group where I post:
alt.support.sleep-disorders

I will admit, the vast majority of the posters there are people with
OSA and most of them are on CPAP or BiPAP at night. But there is also
a small contingent with central sleep disorders as well. The
discussions are lively, and it is a strong cohesive group which seems
to take the "support" issue seriously.

Yes, I too have a sleep disorder, as you can tell by the time of this
post. And yes, I have cats too, which is why I am here. I wonder if
there is a tendency for people with sleep disorders that result in
insomnia to keep cats? They certainly make the best companions to keep
one company in the long watches of the night.

Welcome back, Duke. Drop in whenever you can.
