@johnhans and JK @contentandwell, thank you -- I'm pretty sure things will get better but probably not as fast as I would like ☺ My dear mother used to tell me "Gimme, Gimme My Name is Jimmy!" when I was growing up. I guess I haven't changed much in wanting stuff to happen quickly. I think a lot of my problem may be related to my bad knee and the pain sleeping on either side. I try to stay sleeping on my side because the apnea is worse when I sleep on my back and forget about sleeping on the stomach...doesn't work for me. I'm hoping a knee replace in the Spring may help with that part of the sleeping. I know that will be another hurdle during rehab and something I'll have to work on.
