If that is the case, I regret doing so and would apologize except that 
threatens to initiate an infinite loop of renewing the forgotten offense 
in the act of apologizing to the truly forgetful person.

I could whiff supplemental oxygen, but regulation places the cost of 
medical oxygen above what I can pay, and I'm not quite ready to endanger 
my family by making my own at home, or myself by using industrial 
delivery equipment, and I haven't quite been able to figure out how to 
obtain some of the relatively unregulated aviation oxygen gear.  I did 
manage to score a sanctioned breathing apparatus, at an inflated but 
bearable one-time cost, which probably saved my life at one point, but 
once I improved past the point of physical danger the process of 
entering sleep while submitting to a face-hugging apparatus became 
almost as restful as it would have been with the cinematic creature with 
which most people here are doubtless familiar.
