Wish my sleep study would hurry up, but...

The tech said it usually takes 2 weeks for the results to get to the pulmonologist but offered to email her supervisor to let them know that I am hoping to have surgery very soon. She even told me in the morning that she did send the email. I thought that was extremely thoughtful of her.
I remember how hard it was for me to be away from my babies (now 16 and 21!). Maybe you can sneak in the house after your study early Friday morning and decorate your son's room and have birthday cake for breakfast?! That would be fun!
I agree with the others that you should check with your doc on preparations for the sleep study. Also, don't have any pre-conceived notions going into it. As part of my pre-op process, I had to have 2 sleep studies - I have severe sleep apnea, but only during REM sleep, and during the first study I only had REM sleep after about 3:30 or 4 am...so you're plan for them to get the data early may not work.
