For the past three months or so, I’ve been inhaling toxic fumes in my sleep — not to get high, just because I have one of the recalled C-pap machines that’s been in the news.
But two good things happened this week. One is that I noticed I wasn’t waking up with a chemical taste in my mouth or with chest pains. I know from past experience* with offgassing fumes is that it does stop eventually and I think that’s what happened.
The other is that the C-pap distributor has finally approved me for a new, non-toxic machine and I should be breathing clean air in a week or two.
*Weeks of hell with a memory foam mattress taught me that if I didn’t offgas before bringing it into my apartment, I was doomed to sleep on my shitty couch for weeks.
