Sleep Study Update
My sleep study last night was different than the one I had in 2009. My first study, I wasn't put on CPAP, last night I was, the doctor ordered it.
The doctor also wanted to see how I did with no oxygen, which concerned me, but......So I get at the sleep diagnostic center and was taken to my room. I had some paperwork to fill out (what's new) and then the tech brought in 6 masks for me to try on and they were completely different masks than what I used when I was on Bi-PAP while I was in the hospital with pneumonia, she called them "nasal masks". I chose one and we tried it on with the machine turned on a "4" whatever that means, so when the tech was going to put the mask on at one o'clock in the morning, I wouldn't have any surprise. I then changed into my pj's and then we got to the part where the electrodes were put on my head, neck, face, etc. and I cringed at the amount of goo that was being put on my scalp, she really caked it on. She strapped those belts around my chest and stomach and then she said it was time to begin. I crawled in bed and the TV was allowed to be on until 11PM, it only took me 10 minutes to get to sleep. The next thing I know the tech was waking me up, it was 5:30AM. I didn't even wake up when she put on the mask. I was on oxygen though, but she couldn't elaborate why, the techs are not allowed to give any info, I have my results appointment on October 11 and I will get the details then. I drove straight home and washed my hair, man I was pulling out hunks of white goop and got the dawn dish washing liquid out and that helped to get the white goop out of my hair. Total YUCK. Nothing like big brother being in your bedroom for one night. That camera was smacked dab on the wall facing the bed. I am glad that it is over. I am anxious to get the results back.
