I'm awake now!
I had my fitting appointment at the sleep clinic this morning. My tech seemed amazed at my sleep score. When I went to the medical equipment store to pick up my new toy - the salesman seemed equally as amazed. My score was 39. That means every hour - I quit breathing 39 times. I am only breathing one third of an hour and the rest of the time my body fights for air. At one point my oxygen saturation levels dropped to 86%. In an emergency room that is not a good thing. Let alone just sleeping.
So my new APAP, Automatic Positive Airway Pressure, is accompanied by the oh-so stylish nasal pillow system. I am actually looking forward to tonight's sleep. I am so exhausted all the time. I was warned, because I am so sleep deprived it could be a couple of weeks where my day exhaustion gets worse instead of better. Once my body discovers rest, it will crave it bad.

The dogs had their check-up at the vets. For their age, they are doing nicely. Kizzie will have to lose some more teeth. Do they make doggy dentures? The vet and I are in agreement that my girls are winding down and no heroic methods will be used. Keeping them comfortable and happy is my only goal.
Went swimming tonight and came home in a hurry and to use my new trail cover on the jeep. Jason Parkins said it wasn't going to be like this! Nice storm caught us all off guard.
