• 941 Sleep Apnea

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to DALE SHIPP on Thursday, September 12, 2019 05:29:18
    In my case, with sleep apnea, I wake up more tired than I was when I
    went to bed sans my CPAP.
    So oxygen makes a difference, no surprise.
    It is not so much a lack of oxygen that makes him more tired when he
    doesn't use his machine -- it is the fact that he stops breathing for
    times during the night, increasing strain on his heart and body. Those

    Ah.

    of us who have apnea should *never* go to sleep without the machine. I
    think that includes the majority of the men here in this echo.

    The hospital diagnosed me as a 40-50 on an 100% apnea scale,
    but I was evaluated on my back. I almost never sleep on my
    back. I admit that when I do, I make ugly noises some of the
    time. On my side or stomach, there are seldom snores of any
    kind, much less nobreathing episodes. I have earwitness
    testimony to this fact.

    I know that you are not overly fond of vegetables, but this recipe
    sounds good to me.

    Several people recently have laid the accusation that I
    don't like vegetables, but that's not strictly true. I am
    fond of some vegetables, indifferent to most, but my
    detestation of a few colors my entire reputation.

    Title: Corn-Salsa Pita Sandwiches

    It's an okay recipe.

    6 Bacon slices -- cooked

    With twice the bacon, it'd be a terrificc recipe.

    Title: Bruce's Favorite Caesar Salad
    Categories: Salads, Appetizers, Cyberealm
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 x Head of Romaine Lettuce
    1 x Tin of Anchovy Filets
    1 tb Fresh Ground Black Pepper
    4 cl Garlic
    1 x Egg Yolk-use Extra Large Egg
    1 tb Prepared Hot Mustard
    3 ds Tobasco Sauce
    1 tb Worcestershire Sauce
    3/4 c Olive Oil
    Red Wine Vinegar
    1 x Lemon
    Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
    Croutons
    1/2 lb Bacon

    1) Cook the bacon until very crisp. Set aside and allow to drain on
    paper
    towels.

    2) Place egg in a glass of warm water and set aside until it reaches
    room
    temperature (10-15 minutes).

    3) Crush the garlic in a large wooden bowl. Add the anchovies and
    crush
    into a pulpy mass. Mix with black pepper.

    4) Add mustard, worcestershire sauce and tobasco. Separate the egg,
    keeping
    the yolk. If you can't find any extra large eggs then 2 small eggs
    is
    fine. Stir in each of these ingredients thoroughly as you add each
    one.

    5) SLOWLY add the oil from the anchovy tin, using a french whisk to
    mix.

    6) SLOWLY add olive oil, rapidly whipping until you get a thick
    paste. You
    may have to vary the amount of oil to achieve this (at least 3/4
    cup).

    7) Squeeze in some red wine vinegar to taste. Once around the bowl is
    usually enough.

    8) Squeeze in one lemon for the juice, again to taste.

    9) Just before serving, add the lettuce, croutons, crushed bacon and
    parmesan cheese. Toss Thoroughly.

    The trick to this is the dressing should be quite thick before adding
    the red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

    You may want to add more garlic, tobasco, worcestershire, mustard
    depending on how spicy you like your Caesar Salad.

    of us who have apnea should *never* go to sleep without the machine. I think that includes the majority of the men here in this echo.

    The hospital diagnosed me as a 40-50 on an 100% apnea scale,

    I do not recall any % quoted to me, just sufficient to have me qualify
    for treatment, subject to annual verification by my doctor (who just
    says yes).

    but I was evaluated on my back. I almost never sleep on my

    minutes or so.

    back. I admit that when I do, I make ugly noises some of the
    time. On my side or stomach, there are seldom snores of any
    kind, much less nobreathing episodes. I have earwitness
    testimony to this fact.

    I once when on a off site retreat to a government facility where they
    housed us two to a room. After the first night, my roommate found an unoccupied room he could move to.

    No vegetables here, but I know that you (and probably everyone here)
    would substitute mayo for miracle whip. I know that we would for sure.

    Also, it uses sharp cheddar, not American -- although we would prefer
    something like Cabot's black label 2 year extra sharp cheddar.

    I might like raisin cinnamon bread for some things, but not this -- and
    have not had any for decades.
