I'm getting real used to the CPAP,   the funny looking harness I wear on my head at night.  It's attached to a mask,  and that to a machine.   I know other JUsers are probably familiar with this and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. 

I truly feel a world of difference from using it.  The other night I didn't use it and was groggy all day,  and out of sorts.  I'm sure thankful the diagnosis was made,   my oxygen levels are normal now.

On the 14th of this month a foot doctor is going to make a brace for my left ankle,  it's been sprained 3 times now and twisted numerous times.  AFO stands for 'ankle foot orthosis.   Mine will be custom made because the tendons and ligaments are pretty much just mush in there and I continue to have falls because of the fallen arch and spine issues.  SoOooo.....he says this will stabilize the ankle,  allow the joint to work,  however give the insides a chance to get better,  hopefully...I'd hate to have to have this operated on now!

Here's a link that gives a lot of info about it,  I know that my condition is pretty common.

My blood work showed that my liver function is elevated,   again.  It'll be checked again in a month.  If it's still elevated I don't know if Dr. Quiram will send me to the Rhuematologist again,  or if he'll take and try to use a different med for my RA.  What with having the Sarcoid in the liver,  and being on Methotrexate for the RA,   I don't know if my liver can hold up.

Two out of three things going good is pretty darn great!   Medicine had come a long ways since the days of using leeches to get rid of "bad blood"!    I think that might make for a good blog post,  write about how barbaric medicine was 200 years ago!

Guess it's time to go put on my sleeping cap!  Now if only the'd come up with a thinking cap!
