Finally some great sleep

After a stressful day yesterday was able to sleep like a baby.

Yesterday was trach change day and is always stressful for me. I've been having a tracheostomy since I was 12 and whenever it needs to be changed it stresses me out. After so many years of having one, I would think that i would be used to the tube being changed.. but I'm not. Even with the stress, all is ok

I had a trach two months before my third birthday back in early 1973, I somewhat remember it and how it frightened me. I was one of the lucky ones that got off it after only a month, but was so scared I'd be put on a ventilator again. I wish there was something I could say to help you ease your stress, but if you want I can send you Strength and Light to help you through all of your future changes :) 🤗

@NativePortlander1970 thank you. Nice to have someone comment who gets it. I'm lucky in that I'm not 100% vent dependent. I know people with SMA who are vent dependent
