Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Frank: Is God making my sick friend linger because I’m going to the wrong church ?
A close friend of mine claims an aneurysm was discovered on an X-ray in 1999 after a car wreck. He is 66 years old. He has not had surgery or treatment for it. If this is true, how is it that it hasn’t disected. I had a cousin half his age (32 years old) who died immediately from an anuerysm. My friend also had gotten “messages from God” in the past that he was going to pass away in a certain month, which didn’t happen. He says his being here after that are “extensions from God”. He also that told me the Lord was going to take me home to Heaven by age 47 (now I’m 49).

I am going to a church he considers to be legalistic and has been trying to get me out of it for years. If his sicknesses are genuine, is God keeping him around because of this? He used to call me on the telephone every night and we talked for about three to four hours (not always about my church) and I was getting very annoyed (see Proverbs 25:17).

He also has had for many years:

Congestive heart failure
Severe asthma
Cellulitis of the legs
Sleep apnea
Obesity (well over 300 pounds)
Verigo
Tumor in lung found recently

Given all these conditions at once, how has he survived for so long unless it’s for the reason I stated? Since 2002 he had kept telling me his time was “short” until two years ago. He has stopped telling me that because he knows I won’t believe him. Am I wrong in being skeptical about his sicknesses and thinking he is a hypochondriac, or that it’s my church attendance as the reason God is keeping him here?
ADD: How could he survive so long with obesisty plus all the others combined?

Bub there is no right or wrong church. And it is not God that is keeping your friend alive or sick to punish you or him.

Painful recovery. I do have sleep apnea and am using a c-pap machine. Should I go through with the surgery or cancel?

Answer by TerriS
If you think it will help you, you should go through with it. Surgery is so much easier and more comfortable these days. You will be carefully monitored and because of patient consumerism, and research into pain, your comfort will be a high priority.

Question by moondrop000: Has anyone with sleep apnea had the CPAP NOT fix it? Have you had to quit work because you can’t function?
I am sicker every day with low oxygen. I started the CPAP a couple of weeks ago. Will it really work? How do I keep my job? I can barely think anymore. Terrified here.

If you did not go for an overnight sleep study test your machine may not be turned up enough for your specific needs. You should be able to tell the difference immediately, Back to the doctor you go. Tell the doctor that you need your machine turned up higher.
