CPAP BADDIES
Come out here. I'm literally gonna cry. Good morning. So what we're doing is we're going to be surprising two lucky people with a cute little AirMini machine from cpapoutlet.ca. And our first one is going to be Rachel. Surprise. Surprise. I would fight sleep when driving in the afternoon, and it took a toll on my mental health. My first night with my machine, I woke up and got the most restless sleep I've ever had. Why am I so nervous? Come over here. Surprise. Thank you. Thanks for being a CPAP patty. What do you think has changed the most best treating your apnea? Feeling better about myself and, like, being one to advocate for myself. Rank you so much. Congrats again, Rachel. It's really cool to get good sleep. So cool. It's really cool.
