Conquered Challenges

My life has been a long sleepy saga. I’ve lived a life constantly feeling sleepy. I was sleepy during my wedding. I was sleep during my honeymoon. I was sleepy when my children were born.

I managed to destroy to fulfilling careers without ever really getting to enjoy them because I was always sleepy. So sleepy, in fact, I would fall asleep while holding open houses. Other times I fell asleep while waiting for signals about commodity trades, including some worth from $200 million dollars and up.

Editor’s Note: Following an episode of CBS’ show, Rules of Engagement, many people were offended by a suggestion in the show that snoring, and more likely, apnea, could be treated by a surgical procedure known as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. This personal story is a positive result of the public’s resentment of the suggestion.

I’m a 57-year-old woman from the Washington, D.C. metro area who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery in July, 2005, because I was told it would treat my severe obstructive sleep apnea.
