My "Uncomfortableness"

I’ll take Things That Are Uncomfortable for 100, Alex.

This weekend has presented itself with a myriad of opportunities for me to be uncomfortable. I’ve learned that a lack of comfort can come in the form of a physical or emotional assault. And, they cannot exist without each other.

My sleep apnea has forced me to attempt to wear the dreaded dental mouthpiece as I sleep. There really is only one way that you can be more uncomfortable when you slumber: the CPAP machine. Since that option is out of the question (for my mental health if nothing else), I attempted to wear the definition of intrusiveness last night to bed. It felt as though someone had cemented my teeth together. The longer I wore this thing, the more uncomfortable (mentally and physically), I grew. I can only liken my experience to the emotional discomfort that Vince Vaughn experiences in The Break-Up. Although his began with mental hell and mine ENDED with it, I think this pretty much sums up how distraught I became last night.

  1. That video made me laugh, but seriously I am sorry you have to wear that it must be very hard. I am praying you are able to get some decent sleep. On a side note did you catch the Dateline show last night? I was NOT impressed at all! If you see my post it probably explains it better :) Hope your doing okay and that your handsome son is doing well also!

  2. Yes, I thought the Dateline show was unfortunate. One sided, definitely. Sigh.

  5. I always wondered exactly how those work and if you really do get any sleep with them.

    Someone in NZ has invented a little plastic thing you stick your tongue in... I can try to find the link to it if you want as it has to be better than a machine... maybe....
