A Little Depressed

Mar 07, 2010

This past week was my week off.  I work three weeks and receive one week off.  So basically, I work 14 days and am off 14 days in a month.  This week was a little rough.  Started off on Tuesday night with my follow up sleep study at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans.  I wore the CPAC mask for the whole night.  I slept pretty good, but the hose leaked and every time I tried to talk I had air rushing into my mouth.  This made me talk with an echo, which was annoying as hell.  My wife and I didn't really get along too well this week, mostly because of me.  I just had a feeling like I didn't want to be around her, I felt suffocated. Sometimes you can spend too much time with your spouse.  I need a vacation.

Good news is by Friday, I felt better.  I got a call from the nurse at the hospital.  She told me that all of my pre-op tests were beautiful, that all I have left is my final NUT visit on the 24th.  When I get there, she wants me to come see her so that the package can be submitted to the insurance company for approval.  I can't wait.

Maribeth (my wife) wants us to go to Florida on vacation in July.  She thinks that by then, I'll be all healed up and ready to hit the beach.  Hope so.
