I have had one month on CPAP treatment. it's amazeballs - life changing and I am so glad I kept fighting for a diagnosis. I knew something was wrong beyond my usual suspects (and I knew it wasn't bloody menopause)....I feel like I have a lot of healing to do but I feel neither depressed nor anxious (and my sinuses aren't a mess). I am not sure I have ever felt this way before.

I hope this isn't insensitive - I know some of you are in the shit of the health fight. I am sending biggest vibes out - everyone deserves some reprieve.

Honestly hearing a good news health story is music to the ears :)

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 points 9 months ago

Knowing someone is finding success puts a smile on my face :)

No, I’m happy for you to find validation and relief. I think all of us would be. Rock on.

Yay!!! So happy to hear this!

I have been wondering if I have sleep apnea but I don't have symptoms besides fatigue. I also wake up with a blocked nose almost every morning so that's something.

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago

LOVE to hear this!!!

It's Mr Woof's 11th Gotcha Day today, which means he is now 13 years old. I have a teenager!

Goodnight all ❤️

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago

I might do some bangers and mash with onion gravy tonight.

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Did anyone else get a few hours of a gateway error accessing lemmy???

[–] tone212_@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

Yeah it was offline for me earlier

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

I've had weird timeouts and some double posting today

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

yes, gateway errors here too

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

7 hours total!!!!!!

So it has to be the gym everyday. I can live with that.

Plus I have my own sleep coach:

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I received a coffee in bed.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago

magic 😊

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Gym 3 days in a row.

Rest time.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

I might do a big beach walk , I'd have to rug up warm tho

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 9 months ago

Nicely done! I'm getting ready to go have a long swim, I'm looking forward to it!

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Please don’t give me a half decaf half normal coffee when I ask for a decaf.

I know it’s a first world problem but I have enough stimulants in me to get an elephant beating Usain Bolt in the 100 metre sprint.

More isn’t helping.

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Nah, you don't fuck with people's drink orders. That sucks dude.

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Wow. How is that even a thing? 🙄

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Unless they ran out of decaf, how can they fuck that up?

That's like giving someone who is lactose intolerant half plant-based milk and half full-cream.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

Jobs for the day done. Chill-out afternoon

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I gym thrice a week

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago

Liar

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 9 months ago

beach, rain on the horizon, brrr, it was cold out there

[–] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok. Languishing in bed is lovely but time to move. Coffee, shopping for food, reset the flat in a semblance of order. Then hopefully some cuddle up and read time.

Got some nice greens and some goats cheese so might do a pastry thing or try to source some GF cannollini...might need a winter stew this week..hmm.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

winter stew sounds good 👍 I'll make some too. 😊Also some chili bread.

So tired. Last night I cleaned the kitchen (basically just sweeping, mopping and wiping the bench) and that wiped me out.

I have this problem where I put on Drawabox videos or Bob Ross and don’t learn anything because I fall asleep.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

so many hugs 🫂

sometimes just getting through the day is winning

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

today I am listening to Doobie Brothers greatest hits

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

and when push comes to shove, I'll send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love! da-da-da-da-da 🎶

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Watched the new Superman movie today at the cinemas.

So much fun. Can't fault it. Great flick.

Entire family liked it, which is rare.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

I hate having to spend extra and live on hyperspecific foods just to be able to eat anything (and then being in pain anyway)

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

Nutella vodka coffee cocktail. Zomg.
