Well the results are on in from my sleep test.  A sleep test score of 35+ means extremely severe sleep apenea.  My test results: 60.

That means I stop breathing 60 times a minute.  

I am, to say the least, not a happy camper right now.   I have to schedule a second sleep test in order to get the stupid sleep machine thing calibrated.  Next I have to schedule a home care person to come to my house and set the machine up.  Then I’m going to have to find some remote place in the house to sleep in so the noise doesn’t keep hubby and my daughter awake all night.   The second floor has a recliner, but no tv, so I guess I’ll end up sitting up there all night getting no sleep at all now.    At least before the machine I was getting 4 to 5 hours a night.  But once this machine gets going, sleep is going to be impossible, plus I’ll be alone and HOT (it gets extremely hot up there), and not even a tv to keep me company.

The ONLY reason I’m even considering going along with any of this is because if I don’t they will not approve my gastric bypass surgery.  However, once the surgery is over with, I plan on not using the machine very much, if at all so I can go back to getting at least some sleep.

Eventuallly, once I lose some weight, the sleep apenea should clear up.  I know I will never lose a lot of weight, but hopefully enough so that the sleep apenea either clears up all together or is just mild.
