Last night as I was laying in bed with my CPAP machine and oxygen on I had a moment of clarity. It is stupid for a person of my age to have to use oxygen at night. I was then reminded of a comment my GP made to me earlier this year regarding my smoking. He told me that if I didn't stop smoking that I would be on oxygen full time by the time I am 40 and I turn 37 in a few weeks. I then had a flashback to when I was in my GI's office last week and they did a pulse ox test and it was about 15-20 minutes after I'd had a cigarette and it was 92% and the nurse asked if I was on oxygen and I told her no just at night. I am almost to the point of saying its time to quit. Not there just yet but almost.
