Hair and Sleep

 

Sorry I haven’t posted an update like I said I would. I think I have been sleeping better with the O2. Kenn said I am getting up less often. So far, I have been successful in not getting tangled in the supply tubing. Otherwise, we have had to kick the dogs out of the bedroom in order to keep the cats out. We’re pretty sure Gracie would chew the tubing. Luckily, it’s only while we are both gone that we have to keep everyone out of the bedroom.

I’m not crazy about these pictures, but tonight is the first time I have used any heat styling tools on my hair since I lost it in September of last year. Yes, it’s getting long, and yes, I’m planning to let it keep growing until it gets to about chin level, then I’ll try styling it some more.

More sleep needed…

 

Mini update on sleep apnea: I need CPAP but that takes up to 4 weeks to get set up and delivered. So, they brought the O2 concentrator for me today and I need to wear it when I’m sleeping. It’s set very low, just to 2 liters per minute. We had been planning to move my dresser around and this was just the push we needed to get it done. It will be interesting to see how it works, if the tubing gets tangled, and if I will sleep better because of it. I will update tomorrow.

Sleep study done

 

Had a sleep study last night, in case you haven’t seen that post, here’s the am update…

Well, the sleep study is done. I’ll probably get the the results in about a week. Luckily, the results will post to my app so I don’t have to wait for the doctor to be available.

I had to wear the mask for the entire night. When I first put it on, it was kinda weird but I got used to it. When the O2 started flowing, it felt great. Terrible dry mouth this morning though. 

I sincerely hope this gives us some answers.

Sleepless days & Sleepless nights

 

Well, I just got done with my sleep study. I saw the pulmonologist and they ordered a split sleep study that had to be done at the clinic(I don’t rememberwhat a split sleep sudy is as opposed to a regular sleep study). The pulmonary office told me they were booking 6-8 weeks out. When I called the sleep lab, they just had some spots open up so I grabbed a spot for last night.

Everything went well. I only remembering getting up once to use the bathroom and other than that I slept all night. I had to use my essential oil blend for insomnia to get back to sleep, it worked like a charm!

I wasn’t able to book another pulmonologist’ appointment until January so Dr Google will have to tell me my results when they show up on the app.
