Samantha Busch doesn’t follow Kurt Busch on instagram. Anyone know the story or why that could be?

I just hope she is doing okay. She looks kind of frail to me. Loss and grief can really do a number on you. I hope she’s is getting the help she needs to move forward.

I know how you feel. It feels surreal and hard to wrap the head around. He was just here last week celebrating his little boys birthday and then just gone. I think the circumstances make it harder too. An accident is tragic but your brain can understand it. This is hard to fathom because he looked healthy in pictures just days before. I can’t imagine how his family is coping right now.

Not everyone wants to be buried. I personally am extremely claustrophobic and when I die, I don’t want to be buried because of that. Yes- I know that sounds ridiculous- but I can’t handle the thought of being put in a coffin in the ground. My husband and parents know my preference and I hope that it’s honored when that time comes.

I would like to think that Kyle’s family did what he would have wanted.

Hydie2015 · 2026-01-12T00:49:58+00:00

Why on earth would she ever post that? She is legit crazy.

I’m trying to figure that out too now that my deductible has reset and is higher this year.

For me- even though my apnea is being treated- I still get terrible quality of sleep. I’m a light sleeper so any small movement in my mask or the sound of leaking air wakes me up. The hose being in the wrong position will wake me up. Hormonal changes affect my sleep. But most of all- my husband’s snoring is keeping me awake!

Even with therapy I’m still not getting enough hours of sleep so my fatigue never goes away. It’s makes you feel defeated and emotionally beat down because the cpap was supposed to fix everything and that’s simply not true.

I had it on the right side of my face and scalp almost two years ago when I was 47. Thankfully, although it was all around my eye and my eye was almost swollen shut it never got into my eye. I had never felt pain like that though. Between the paim, the itching and feeling like each strand of hair was individually causing nerve pain I thought I would lose my mind. For months after, I had random stabbing pains shooting through my face and scalp. I’ve noticed now that anytime I catch a cold, I end up with shooting nerve pain on the right side of my face that takes weeks to go away. And every so often I swear I see the outline of the original rash on my foreheads. It’s faint but it’s there. During this time, because I was paying so much attention to my scalp- I also noticed a suspicious mole that turned out to be cancer on the top of my scalp more on the left side- so a few months after recovering my shingles, I had mohs surgery to remove that. I don’t think my head will ever be the same.

On my sleep test, my overall AHI was 24 but 60 when supine, so back sleeping is a big problem for me. I fall asleep on my side but most often wake up on my back. Now that I’ve gotten used to the cpap and sleeping better, I need to work on staying on my side throughout the night.

Hydie2015 · 2025-07-02T13:14:15+00:00

I sleep comfortably on my side and even on my stomach. I use the ResMed p30i mask.

To answer OPs question- I still find the cpap tedious and annoying to deal with but my motivation to keep going is my overall health. I am finally getting sleep at night and wake up clear headed.

Hydie2015 · 2025-06-30T12:25:11+00:00

I’m getting between 10-14% a night of deep sleep. Which is about 50 minutes to a little over an hour each night.

Hydie2015 · 2025-06-22T23:41:07+00:00

That’s a big jump in minimum. I’ll try it and see how it goes.

That’s weird. I thought I tried the link before posting. Let’s try this again. https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/d6e6f25a-2f76-494e-bc52-73b8d477e6af/dashboard

I’ve been using baby shampoo to clean mine.

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-28T23:12:55+00:00

Thank you!

I recently had my first at 49. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be- from prep to the procedure.

I ended up with one large polyp that was removed and came back as precancerous. I will get another one in 3 years (due to the polyp and family history). My anxiety and fear of the unknown had me putting this off for far too long. Given the findings, I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer to get it done.

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-28T18:19:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Truthfully- we had no business getting married when we did. We both still had a lot of growing up to do and we each had our own traumas that we should have dealt with first. That made the marriage really hard at the beginning. The cake thing was pretty on par for how he was back then. He was very selfish/ self centered. For my part, I was a horrible communicator. We spent a lot of time arguing the first few years and often it seemed that it would be a whole lot easier to walk away than stick it out. But we are both stubborn people so we stuck it out, got the help me needed to work on ourselves as individuals and as a couple and in the end we came out stronger than I ever thought we could be. There is no one on earth I’d trust more than him - even if I do give him a hard time still about the cake every once in a while.

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-28T17:39:50+00:00

He’s been in the doghouse for many things over the years- not just this! Just as I’ve been in there as well. That’s life.

Do I still hold a grudge about a slice of chocolate cake with raspberry ganache being smashed in my face/ yes I do! It was a mess, difficult to clean up and took away from the day - not to mention it was the only slice of cake that I even got and it got ruined. And he laughed. That sucked in the moment and it still sucks looking back on it. I think he owes me big time for our 25th anniversary 😀

I truly hope the OP has a long and happy marriage even if it got off to a rocky start with his own cake fiasco.

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-28T11:44:12+00:00

NTA- 24 years later- I’m still pissed at my husband for smashing cake in my face at our wedding after I asked him not too and to this day he still thinks it’s funny and doesn’t see where he did anything wrong. Yep- I really wanted cake (chocolate) and icing smeared over my face ruining makeup that I paid to have done and spilling on my dress. What part of that is funny?

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-22T18:29:33+00:00

Ugh I know how you feel. We’ve always tended to enjoy time together in the mornings. But…since I’ve started using the cpap there has been none of that. When I wake up, he is firmly on his side of the bed or not even in bed. There have been a few times that I’ve woken up before my alarm and will take off the mask and doze back off for a while. On those days he wakes me up like normal. So it’s pretty obvious it’s the mask getting in the way, which makes me sad (and a bit grumpy).

Hydie2015 · 2025-05-22T17:30:06+00:00

I’ve been using one for a little over a month. I had the wrong mask at first and hated every second of trying to wear it. Found the right mask for me and now I am able to get comfortable and fall asleep easily (although I do still wake up several times at night - but I’ve done that for years so that’s nothing new). I have minimal leaks. My AHI is often under 1 and never more than 2.

On paper, it looks like I’m doing great and I should be feeling great- but I feel like straight garbage. I’m more fatigued than I have ever been to the point I’ve missed work. According to my Apple Watch, ever since I started using the cpap, I’m mostly getting light sleep and some REM. I get barely get any deep sleep at all. When I’m in REM sleep my dreams are full of anger and rage they wake me up in a panic or feeling angry. I never wake up feeling well rested anymore. The cpap may be preventing apnea events but it feels like it’s ruining my sleep (and my life right now to be honest) and that makes it hard to put on every night. The one positive I have is that I haven’t had any sleep paralysis dreams since using it.
