I finally was able to get my sleep apnea machine. I paid about $1100 for it. That is a bit expensive, but I bought it from the suggested company because I know where they are located if it needs to be fixed for some reason. While there were much cheaper options on Taobao, I didn’t want to buy anything really essential online. I’ve been burned too many times on that site.

Anyway, this machine is magic. I have been using it for about a week a half and have experienced what my brother said, “It is like night & day.” True, so true. Before I was a non-brain eating zombie and now I have rejoined society as a somewhat productive member. I hope to one day not need it, but until then, good buy.

Another health issue popped up recently. I was in class and started squinting. I knew then that I needed glasses. I paid a great deal of money 9 years ago for Lasik and intraocular lens surgery (I have a contact lens implanted in my eye). I knew it wouldn’t last forever, so it’s OK. If it gets worse, I can just get other lens put in my eyes to correct the new issue. For now, I don’t look too bad, right?
