Life Lesson From Autism's Bitch: Breathing Is Important

I feel like an over-ripe fruit. Somebody pluck me from my pregnancy misery. My sleep apnea is back, and unfortunately, my oxygen is getting really low at night. So, I get the pleasure of wearing an oxygen mask AND sleep apnea mouth piece to bed. I'm so sexy.

I've reached a new level in pregnancy. And that all-time low involves oxygen. Yes, like an 80 year old emphysema patient. Yes, I have a wheelie-cart (that looks like something between a mobile cane and a Rascal scooter). Yes, it's fully equipped with a four hour supply of oxygen (as if my maternity underwear wasn't embarrassing enough).

If my hair were fixed in this extra-special 'do, I'd resemble this (just minus the bib or whatever the hell she's wearing):

  3. That contraption is hilarious! What did people do before the invention of plastic and other pliable materials? It looks like a torture device!

    You poor thing... pregnancy's tough, but yours sounds like a doozy!!

  7. Brutal. My best friends during the last few months of pregnancy were my Tempurpedic bed and pillow. Massage. It's your friend too.

  8. I'll be needing one of those on Sunday when I have to hit those high notes for our Easter Sunday specials. Above all choir pews ought to hang a panel that drops air masks when oxygen levels get low, especially on days where you have to wear robes! UG!
