Hey Nursie T,

Can you believe that lady doctor told me that regarding that sleep study that I was one of the worst she had ever seen?

I'm still in a state of shock.

I didn't think I had sleep apnea.

TT

Well, TT, at least you made an impression on her, LOL! I knew that dropping down to 70% saturation had to represent a severe case of OSA (although I have never been involved in the studies so I don't know what the 'normal' numbers are for ppl w/ OSA). And how many times did she say you quit breathing in an hour?? Over 200, wasn't it? Yep, TT, I can believe she told you that you were one of the worst cases of sleep apnea she had seen. The good news is that CPAP will take care of you and you can rest much easier knowing that you won't quit breathing 200+ times an hour!

My numbers were like 140 something an hour I think :) But T is right TT you will sleep so much better and not ahve to worry about your breathing being stopped at all! Now Mrs TT may have to move to the other end of the bed like Mr Gold has but ...... cross that bridge when you come to it :)

LOL, yeah, I think breathing is a good thing.

I've been doing it since birth.

Oh, and wifey says my oxygen percentage dropped down to 60% according to the lady doctor.

Dang, TT, much lower and they would have been measuring you for a pine box and new suit instead of for a CPAP!!
