Went to the Pulmanologist on Tuesday for a consultation regarding sleep apnea. A consult we all knew was going to require me a sleep consult but gotta nickle and dime you by having "consults". This doc is old school. The charts he had on me from the computer he has to write down in a file. Defeats the purpose of online charting but you can't teach an old dog new tricks. He took his time writing down notes that I just happened to snap a pic of him. #nooneissafeinthepresenceofmyiphone
Lungs are open. Heart is fine. Nasal passages are clear. Sleep patterns assessed. Questions asked and answered. So the verdict is... I need a sleep study and my insurance doesn't cover it at home. So, I have to spend two consecutive nights at the study clinic. This sealed my fate that I will not be having this surgery any time soon. Looks like May is my new target date. I am okay with it.
I think the biggest thing that I have learned is how truly unhealthy I am. And all these procedures are going to assist me in the greater scheme. I just wish I did all of these things sooner. To think I am going to be able to breathe at night and that my snoring will subside is miraculous. Do you know the last time I let a gentleman caller spend the night???? That's right, never!
