Last night I gained a new bed fellow....my CPAP mask. It was not easy sleeping with this over my nose. It took me a while to get used to it, but I finally fell asleep somehow. The technician kept talking about how small my nose was and had to get a small and extra small size. (The only time I'll probably only wear an extra small. Even with losing weight..I don't want to be that small. )
I learned that the last time I had my sleep study I stopped breathing over 250 times , my oxygen stats got as low as 65%. When you get to below 90% is bad. So no wonder I would wake up and be ready to go back to bed shortly after waking up.
It will take a week or so to get the machine ordered and prepped. In some strange way, I'm looking forward to getting it so I can see if it will help me feeling better and have more energy. To be honest, I'm tired of being tired.
Keep me in your prayers during this stage of the journey! Also pray that I hear from the insurance company soon. It's coming close to the 15 day mark.
