Up Date from North Carolina

We got back from Virginia just fine. Were glad we went even though we missed our party in Tallahassee. I almost fell asleep at the wheel though, and Laura had to smack me and take over (she's been doing that a lot lately... I wonder....uh, no).

I have been wearing the ResMed mask that is supposed to take care of my apnea, but it is not working. The Respiratory Therapist claims this has never happened with his clients before. If they can force themselves to wear a mask, they immediately notice a life changing difference. I have little trouble wearing the mask, and I seem to be using it properly, it just doesn't make any difference as far as I can tell. Supposedly the change is not subtle - I should have noticed it right away.

So I am not sure where I go from here. I'll keep you posted.

I had a colonoscopy Wed - had to fast for a day and drink two little bottles of laxative but otherwise it was fine. Laura is going in on Monday for hers with a different doctor. She has to fast for a day and a half and has to swallow what looks like a liter or so of a chalky liquid. Since she gets homicidal when she is hungry I may go up to Boone on Sunday and stay there until I need to drive her to the doctor's.

Our friend Maggie is in Disney World starting tomorrow. Wish there was someway for you all to meet her but don't see how. She should meet Tram and Andy too since she is going to get a little brother from Viet Nam soon.

Blaine, we both enjoy the pictures - post some more!

We leave Thursday for West Palm to meet Avery, granddaughter, for the first time. Sorry about the mask not working. Keep us posted on what they will try next. See the colonoscophy wasn't so bad...it's the "day before" that's the problem. Hope to post some pics when we return.

Did it occur to you that your Doctor has never treated a Jessee before. We can fall asleep any time anywhere mask or no mask, Kemo Sabe.
