About to turn in for the night again.
Stilly, my breathing is louder than the device itself.
I'm sure the old-fashioned ones were a lot to contend with,
but this model and technology are really very quiet.

The nurse-practitioner took one approach which soothed me.
She talked with me in terms of,
let's get you sleeping properly, getting a healthier condition for resting and breathing and so on,
and then consider what a difference it makes to your waking life,
when you are better rested and not exhausted and fatigued all the time.

Then, and only then, we can worry about weight loss
and eliminating obesity (yes, I do have that diagnosis).
Which to me sounds like a kind way to talk about it.
