CPAP machines are NOT sexy!

Jun 11, 2011

So I have sleep apnea. WTF!!! I NEVER would have believed it without the results of the study. NEVER! I don't snore. I feel like shite some mornings, but wouldn't you if you were 100# plus overweight? I went back to Sleep Diagnostics on June 3 for a titration study and it was really a little freaky for me. The pressure in my nose from the machine felt strange, and I was just overall kinda nervous. I did ok though. I got my personal machine yesterday, and used it for the first time last night. i managed to keep it on for eight hours, so I guess that was pretty good. I will have to learn to use it all of the time at least for now. I have everything done for the surgeons requirements now. I am just waiting on Barix of MI to get me preapproved through BCBS. I just want to get this done. I am so tired of swollen ankles, tight pants, bras that dig into my fat, and feeling ashamed of my appearance. It was an unseasonably warm 96 degrees here this week and I was extremely uncomfortable. I just want to get this rolling so that I can feel better! My husband had a sleep study Wednesday night and he has OSA too. We have been laughing about the fact that we will both have CPAP machines, but I have to tell you.... we are both going to look like freaks! At least if he has to wear one too then I won't feel tooo bad about not looking cute while I sleep LOL.  If you are reading this please Pray for me that Barix gets their poop in a group and speeds up the process!
