Thanks Dad
I just called the sleep center. I have obstructive sleep apnea. I have to wait for the equipment place to call me so I can go and get a machine and learn how to use it. The lady said I had 9.3 events per hour, meaning that's how many times I quit breathing. She said that's pretty low, but my oxygen level dropped to 76, which is REALLY low. So, I'm all freaked out now. And I have a ton of questions. Every time I talk to the sleep center, they talk to me like I already know all of this stuff. I don't know anything! Or they act like someone already told me. When I called the center I thought they were going to give me a full diagnosis or whatever, but the lady just goes, "you need a CPAP, who do you go to for medical supply?" I was like, "wait, wait, wait, what's my diagnosis? What does that mean? I don't have a medical supply place, I've never done this before!" I still don't have all the answers I want, so I'm gonna have to call and talk to a nurse or something. I'm not scheduled for a checkup until January.

That sucks big balls but maybe that will help the insurance aspect with the bypass surgery even more. Do you want me to watch you sleep so I can make sure you don't die. I'll do that for you baby.
ReplyDeleteEllie Mae is such a sweetheart. You are loved by many Tiff. Hang in there. ((hugz))!!
ReplyDelete76?? Holy shit. That's definitely bad. Glad you got in when you did. There should be a medical supply in conjunction with the hospital, but if not, Homeward has been really good for me. I think they're based out of Mary Greeley but I know they have a lot of satellite offices.
