Well, that was definative.

One of the complaints I gave to my doctor during the course of the last year was how tired I am all the time, and she recommended that I go and have a sleep study done. So back in January, I went down to the Sleep Disorders Center of Georgia for a sleep study.

Today, I went in for the followup to find the results of the study. Dr. Wellman had predicted, just based on my description of symptoms, that I was suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. When I sat down in his office, he flipped open the chart, glanced at the report, and said "Well, you just about broke the record."

During the course of the sleep study, I stopped breathing an average of 130 times an hour, and my oxygen levels dropped as low as 84%. No wonder I'm so fatigued all the time, if that's the kind of sleep I'm getting!

I have to back in tomorrow to get set up with all the apparatus. Looks like I'm joining the growing legion of folks with CPAP machines. I wouldn't say I'm looking *forward* to it, per se, but I *am* looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Valentinr wrap-up

I never got around to mentioning it, but thanks to everyone who signed the Valentines day gadget. It certainly made me feel warm and loved by each and everyone one of you.

I admit to being somewhat curious by two entries, both anonymous:

• I think you're pretty cute and pretty nice and pretty witty even though I don't like filk!
  
  Gosh. If only I knew who you were. :) (For the record, you don't *have* to like filk. It's just something I do. I do other things as well. :))
  
  
• You, dear ACat, rock my socks. A more compassionate and caring friend one could not ask for and number one huggers like you are one in a million.
  
  *blush* Thanks. Again, I'm curious.
  

Now, I know the whole point of leaving anonymous comments is to be...well, anonymous. But, if either of those anonymous commenters would like to say "hi, that was me", or indeed, if any of you would like to say anything at all to me, comments on this entry are screened. :)
