Getting old sucks.
Throughout 2006 I found my health spiraling downward.
Found out I'm severely allergic to a number of things (dust, trees, grass, weeds, etc) and only recently that my allergies developed over the five years I lived up in the Virginia mountains.
In the process of trying to figure out where my fatigue, dizziness, and pressure headaches where coming from it was determined that I should submit to a sleep study.
Well, turns out I have sleep apnea as well. The study found that I had an average of seventy (70) events (read - stopped breathing) an hour. I stopped breathing, on average, more than once a minute.
Quoth the sleep study tech: "yeah, that'd cause headaches and fatigue"
heh
Well, they had me get a cpap and I can not describe the quality of sleep I get now. I have never, ever, slept this well.
So, I'm starting to feel human again. My wife tells me I'm not such a lump anymore (heh).
Now, to deal with the consequences of no physical activity for a year.
It has taken its toll... a 42"+ waist from 35 inches... near 300lbs from 256lbs.
sigh
Anyhow, I think I'll put together some useful posts tonight and over the next few days.
