Hi Everybody,
Just been going through all the pages trying to catch up. Whew! That's a lot of reading.
I taped the Saints game while I was gone last night and am watching it now. I know they lost, but their still MY TEAM so I have to watch the game. Green Bay is very impressive!
I got to the hospital for the sleep study and they didn't give me any drugs of any kind which is good I guess. Then the guy fixed about a thousand wires from my beautiful bod to a black box and told me to have a nice sleep. Yeah, sure. He was back in three minutes fixing the wires I had already pulled out and this process went on for a long time. Fix wires, leave, back, fix wires, leave, back ...
I don't know how they expect a guy to sleep with all that stuff on him. I also made a mistake. I wore a T shirt because I don't own any pajamas and the T shirt rode up and choked me. And they had bands of things across my chest so I couldn't take the T shirt off. That didn't help.
Well I couldn't sleep with all that stuff on me and not being able to move to get comfortable and the guy coming back in to reconnect wires I had pulled loose ... I was doing it on purpose now ... and I was
vaping under the blanket and he said I smelled like caramel. I just smiled.
Half way through the night after I had finally dozed off he comes into the room, throws on the flood lights and proclaims that I don't have enough oxygen in my brain. I told him that if he had met me yesterday, he would have said the same thing.
He said, "Sir, why do you smell like caramel?" I just smiled some more.
So he slaps this mask on me that's blowing air into my face about like a Category Three hurricane and says "there. You'll sleep better now." I said "Grumph ump arrrgh flaaaatz ya ba Sturd." So now I have this mask and its hose and still have all the wires and finally just said the he77 with it and went to sleep.
After I got up this morning and got my teeth brushed and got my clothes on I told him I was a little crippled and made him wheel me to my truck in a wheel chair.
I had to get even with him somehow.
My wife stayed with me through all this and the poor girl often rolls her eyes when she's around me. Last night she spent more time rolling her eyes than I had seen in a long time. I told her they were going to get stuck like that but she won't listen.
So its over and done with. Some doctor is supposed to read the results and I guess they'll contact me about getting a mask of my very own.
Hooray!
