I have just had an appointment with a ear, nose and throat specialist. I need an operation to clear up problems in the sinus area.
Now, while discussing the my personal qualities, my wife mentioned to the good DOCTOR that I would not breath normally while I was sleeping. She said that there were times when I scared her because the timimg was so long between breaths.
Dr. Chasse informed us that it was sleep apenia and that he would not operate on me until this condition was seen about by a specialist.
He said that I was not getting into the deep sleep that one requites to REST. This is why I wake up tired as I was when I went to sleep. I now feel that I am on the road to recovery, as we have some direction as to what to do for the whole person.
DO NOT LET THIS CONDITION GO UNATTENDED TO BY A PHYSICIAN. YOU MAY BE CAUSING THE DEATH OF YOUR MATE.
I was informed that one can die because of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, etc. This condition is what makes a person wake up in that great HOUSE IN THE SKY.
