I also have an implanted interthecal morphine pump and have been fighting and clawing my way to a decent nights sleep since being diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2005, 3 years after having the placement of the implant in 2002. I have been a member of this...

Size large nose pillow for sure!! That did it for me!

Really, not so far fetched......You could blow your nose that contain (upper respiratory infection with Kleb), contaminate hands, then go pee pee and wipe yourself.... contaminated fingers slip a bit and touch opening of uretha...... or someone elses contaminated hands??..... and bingo, Kleb into bl...

...because you were on Lunesta (which might not be a bad thought).
