24 November 2018, A day from Mark’s past

Status: House is a shambles and we’re not done with Kathy’s project for school.

Narrative: We spent a good deal of effort yesterday building the audio portion of her project. We’ll likely record a run through today.

The wife made coffee today, I am sipping on a cup while updating this blog.

I am not sleeping more than a couple hours at a time.  I wake up with air flowing out of my mask rapidly because the seal against my face is disturbed.  It will take a bit of time to break down the three pieces of the puzzle, mask tightness against my face, range of pressure given to the machine to use and my eyes draining into the back of my throat cutting off my airway by making it sticky.  The way to work this taking a long period of time forgoing any productive activities.  By far the most common is my eyes get dry during the day and when they heal at night the white blood cells make the pallet of my throat sticky enough that the septum blocks my airway to my nose.  The result is that I end up exhaling forcibly out my mouth knocking the mask off my face.  (Since I’ve lost the ability to exhale through my nose.)  I get into this circle by staying up too many hours and letting my eyes get damaged by being excessively dry.  It takes about three days for them to heal completely and break the cycle.  (But who likes laying in bed for the better part of three days.)

Tomorrow: Church services in the morning, haven’t been to one in three weeks.
