Bob 4 years past brain surgery

Wow, it has been 2 years since my last post; I guess all is going well.  It has been 4 1/2 years since Bob's ruptured brain aneurysm and brain surgery.  And, to think many many medical professionals thought he'd never get out of bed. The only thing that gave anyone an inkling that something wasn't right was Bob's short-term memory.  However, that all changed over night when he started wearing a CPAP machine at night.  Before the use of the machine, Bob would wake up 60 times during the night (15 times diagnoses sleep apnea).  Bob was denying his brain of oxygen and rest time.

After 1-2 days using the CPAP machine, Bob's short-term memory is back to normal; his energy surpasses his normal; and, his nap times have gone from sleeping every time he sits down to six hours of sleep a night is sufficient.
