Results with a Twist

I went back for my sleep study results. I do have moderate obstructive sleep apnea. They want to do a sleep study with a c-pap machine November 20th. My follow-up session for results and ordering my equipment will be December 13th. A little far away, but it's already been a year or more,so...

skip ahead several hours...

So.... I get home from work last night. My course assignments due today by 11:00 p.m. safely uploaded. My son happily spending the night at his granny's, and my husband going to bed early with a toothache. I'm thinking about clothes that need washing, and the phone rings. It's the sleep center saying they have an opening TONIGHT. Did I want to come... are you kidding? God is good. I hit the road and get there close to the time I was scheduled for on the 20th.

Let's just say that I was wrong when I thought I could not look any worse than last time. The two technicians were awesome but really believed in using the goo for the electrodes! Picture it... along with the funky hair and electrodes add in an elongated plastic tube stuck under my nose and above my upper lip. That's not all, folks! At some point in the night, the tech. comes in and says I'm breathing through my mouth but shouldn't be. So, she adds a lovely bright red chin strap to the mix! Yep... go ahead and laugh - I did.

I left a little early as I became uncomfortable about 5:30, and the tech. took pitty on me. Drove home with a cup of coffee and Motley Crew's Dr. Feelgood CD blasting. Yes, under the veneer of age and education, I still LOVE the deafening roar of rock music (when it doesn't give me a headache - drat getting older). I know that I have some mild hearing loss from my teen years. I know that I can loose more now. But... it Feels Sooooo Good!
Now you know waaaay too much about my inner child, so I will go get ready for work.

Have a great day!
