No, sir. It doesn’t.

That is the number one reason to have a power generator in one's home.  It needn't be large enough to do much else, so long as it keeps that CPAP going.

I bought one from QVC a couple of years ago.  And wouldn't you know, the power company informed my neighborhood our power would be out from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. one night while they did some repairs.

My CPAP ran the whole night, and I had another hour or so to spare according to the meter.  Well worth it.

Returned to see my allergist yeserday...first time since December.

Oof, what a day.  I was not chipper.  I was congested and cranky.  They picked up on that, too.  My tests weren't high caliber, either.

They decided I needed a breathing treatment. 

I did need a breathing treatment.  It lasted about 35 minutes, too, and it was glorious.  Breathe in, hold it, exhale through the nose.  That last bit was impossible at first, but as the minutes passed, my sinuses opened.

The assessment was that I was having a major asthma episode.  Various people were consulted.  New meds were ordered. I was given a new nebulizer, and I was told the VA would need to provide me with a duplicate of the breathing machine that brought me comfort.  I feel certain that will happen soon, as well.

I am so overcome with gratitude that I felt crappy when I needed to feel that way.  Otherwise, they likely would not have believed past tense accounts of how I obviously was feeling then.

And isn't life just like that?  Someone asks how things are going.  You look pretty good at the time, so when you tell them how sick you were just yesterday, they look at you rather oddly, nod their heads and move along.

I can't help it if I cover my pains so well.

The one I bought from QVC was the HALO Portable Back-up Power Station with AC Outlets.  It was around $500, but as an investment in life-or-death possiblities, I thought it worthwhile

There are different brands out there, and a variety of prices.  You'd need to decide what you want power for over how long a period to get the one best for you.

I find this, when I see doctors, Ron. I don’t have much of a medical history and look relatively healthy, so they just kinda dismiss any concern. Thankfully your symptoms showed up!

I have VA as primary health, although I could alter that and get a local doctor who could farm me out to specialists.

VA does what it can with its resources here.  There is a large hospital in Augusta medical district (Georgia) and the VA owns and operates a large campus of specialty buildings near the Masters golf course (unrelated, of course).

But its user base is huge, and its access to doctors is often at odds with the availability of them, although many of their doctors also work at major civilian hospitals in the city.

When they cannot get you in to see a specialist within a certain number of months, you get referred to their Community Care office which locates specialty services nearby and sets you up for a year or two of care.

I have been going to my allergist for two years, but my "term" with them ended in February.  They sent me a letter, I sent it to my primary and requested a renewal.  It should have happened quickly, but went into limbo.

I saw my primary care physician last Tuesday.  He saw me at one of my lowest points, as well, and we both concluded that my blood pressure was too low as were my blood sugars.  He altered my meds for that, and that has worked well, but he also heeded my comments about my sinuses.  Since I was totally blocked during my visit, he could "hear" my sinuses.

I received a letter Thursday morning, informing me that a new term had been set up with my allergist.  A phone call from them established an availailbility for an appointment yesterday morning.

All in all, a VERY productive week despite feeling like crap for much of it.

Golly.  I can understand that.  I lived and worked in Italy for 9 1/2 years while in the Navy, and I enjoyed co-working with Italian nationals.

Some very humorous conversations were had when words they used weren't the right words, and there would not be an Italian word for the English one.  I wish I had written them all down.  Of course, they had their own words and expressions for situations that were a lot of fun just knowing they had different ways of looking at absurdities.

It required a period of adjustment for me to understand what was being said in English by a few, but I soon grew quite accustomed to them once I could hear them speaking in Italian with one another.

I picked up some very interesting language skills from them, none of which I can use in polite company.

We also lost power during the night, and a CPAP doesn't work without power.

No, sir. It doesn’t.

That is the number one reason to have a power generator in one's home.  It needn't be large enough to do much else, so long as it keeps that CPAP going.

I bought one from QVC a couple of years ago.  And wouldn't you know, the power company informed my neighborhood our power would be out from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. one night while they did some repairs.

My CPAP ran the whole night, and I had another hour or so to spare according to the meter.  Well worth it.

I bought batteries for the machine gor travel reasons. But a backup generator is going on my wish list.

The included cover album is also very enjoyable. I'd never heard that one, and I haven't listened to one of those in a very long time. I'd really love it if that kind of extra could (or would) be included on other cast albums. What a treat!

Then he went to college and then went to NYC in the qqearly 2000's.  He was a bartender/waiter at some popular Gay place for many yearas - but I can't remember the name of it.....maybe it was Splash or something.

DR VIXMOM my brother says he and his family are going to be a little late for Easter dinner - so he asks that you not sit down until 8 p.m.

They did not go into the recuperation time clearly.

They should have.  I gather by now you have done research on how long recovery can take for this.

We also lost power during the night, and a CPAP doesn't work without power.

No, sir. It doesn’t.

That is the number one reason to have a power generator in one's home.  It needn't be large enough to do much else, so long as it keeps that CPAP going.

I bought one from QVC a couple of years ago.  And wouldn't you know, the power company informed my neighborhood our power would be out from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. one night while they did some repairs.

My CPAP ran the whole night, and I had another hour or so to spare according to the meter.  Well worth it.

Great.

Returned to see my allergist yeserday...first time since December.

Oof, what a day.  I was not chipper.  I was congested and cranky.  They picked up on that, too.  My tests weren't high caliber, either.

They decided I needed a breathing treatment. 

I did need a breathing treatment.  It lasted about 35 minutes, too, and it was glorious.  Breathe in, hold it, exhale through the nose.  That last bit was impossible at first, but as the minutes passed, my sinuses opened.

The assessment was that I was having a major asthma episode.  Various people were consulted.  New meds were ordered. I was given a new nebulizer, and I was told the VA would need to provide me with a duplicate of the breathing machine that brought me comfort.  I feel certain that will happen soon, as well.

I am so overcome with gratitude that I felt crappy when I needed to feel that way.  Otherwise, they likely would not have believed past tense accounts of how I obviously was feeling then.

How wonderful you had the attack while at the office.  The breathing machine at home should make a big difference.

Ron, I am so sorry to hear what you’ve been going through, but glad to hear you are getting appropriate treatment now.

I am actually glad to have felt this way at key moments when I could "share it" visually and aurally with those who could assess me.

I agree! It’s like taking your car to the mechanic and it stops making “ that noise”
