...the plates sit in satisfied disarray at the Coffee Hut...
...a mysterious phone booth beckons...
...a deep and turbulent River awaits...
Join Dave and Ellen in an episode of some...um... portent...
....after the Coffee Hut discussion, Robert understands that treatment is necessary...
...after the Coffee Hut discussion, Robert has his head wrapped around the WHY? of treatment...and RISK figures prominently...time to set some goals...time to decide on passage across a deep and turbulent river...THE RIVER OF DECISION...
...but how does one decide WHICH treatment to embrace? I mean...is it all just about Positive Airway Pressure and Oral Appliances? What about...um...everything else?
Let's get to it! Step up! Step up! We'll check out every boat, raft, skiff and floaty-thingy we can get our hands on!
Dave also steps into the Empowered Sleep Apnea Phonebooth, to get the straight story from Alise Ojay, the creative genius behind the Singing For Snorers project! Everything sounds better with a British Accent, and this stuff actually has research to back it up!
Who knew that only a few weeks of SINGING can improve snoring and daytime sleepiness?!
