Hi, Geoff. This entire piece is very well written, Mate. It is more clear and concise than some others I have read on fanstory which attempt to deliver similar messages in their writing.
One question on a peculiar phrase you used in this "Father-in-law lashed out and had a ramp built" Lashed out is not an expression I am familiar with in this context, Geoff. Is it a common useage in your part of the world?
May God Bless you, my friend and say hi to your beloved Louise for me. Bob

Yes, Mate, "Lashed out" means he let go of his purse strings, being a rather tight, "retarred" a bit of Redneck lingo for ya thrown in...Financial Controller for Union Carbide our big years ago battery manufacturer. Someone else does that nowe. Glad to teach you some strine. Maybe I need to write that other book I have planned "The Struggle With Strine!" Hey, our dollar creeped up ever so briefly on the Greenback the other day. DIdn't last though, hehe. Thanks for coming along. Hope you caught all the links even though we are not friends on Facebook but we do have a lot of Mutuals I think.

I live a few states away in Gawler, the gateway to the beautiful Barossa Valley. I also find myself many times a week for medical appointments. I have narcolepsy so now have to be reviewed annually by my sleep specialist. Medication helps me to wake up in the morning. Like you also I have sleep apnoea and central apnoea, however with increased diligence at wearing my mask and keeping it on all night, I've been able to manage with a CPAP machine instead of the bulky CPAP/VPAP machine for central apnoea. I must admit though it's a terrifying experience to wake up and realise that you aren't breathing. I'm glad you had a rant, it's good for the soul. Happy Easter to you both.PM

Thanks mate. I forgot you was an Aussie coz POssums are not just native to Australia are they? Sorry I have not visited your stu7ff for a bit appreciate the lovely review. Hope you were able to view the pics and Links including the Link to my Album on Facebook. I forget if we are friends on there but I am told even non Fb friends are able to access the Album from that link. I think I mentioned the new mask in my last chapter the Wisp mask...much better and finally CUA Health will pay an annual benefit on the new mask at last!

I?ve got the best mask I?ve ever used at present. It?s a rested N20 with nasal mask and has magnets to hold in place... magic! PM

I had a readout done off my CPAP since I had been on the new mask and it showed improved sleep on the Wisp Mask, so I am pleased about that.

My uncle has a hard time walking but he went on cruise with my aunt. I think he knows their travels are becoming limited so he let her have one last hurrah. I think he had a lot of help at the airport and stuff like that as well. I'm glad you doing shorter things that she can participate in. Sometimes you don't need the big long travels. It's the moments and memories you share together :)

Thanks for the updates. So glad that you and Louise look out for each other and attend those appointments together. You're still so adventuresome taking the bus rides etc. Blessings on your Easter!
