A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

0821 zzzzzzzz

On Sunday night, I checked into the Memorial Care Sleep Disorder Center for an overnight evaluation of my sleep. They hooked me up with all types of electrodes (see pic) and then I laid down for a night of what I hoped would be blissful sleep. How wrong I was.

I was awakened in the middle of the night to try on an assortment of headsets to help me breathe better. Having positive pressure applied helped me to sleep peacefully the rest of the night.

So here I am, two days later, and trying to read a preliminary copy of the Polysomnography Report, and I keep falling asleep while doing so. Kinda ironic. It says that I do have apnea and it's a really bad case of it. More as it develops.
