Where Did I Leave Off?

I can not remember where I left off before. I suppose I could read back to January and find out, but I am too darn lazy. I finally got away from prying eyes at work for just enough time to type out a blog entry.

So, the results of my sleep lab: I have sleep apnea. I have to wear a fabulous CPAP machine every night. I have only slept all the way thru the night once. Twice until 4am, and other times til around 1am. Really, I am kind of grateful that my insurance not only paid for my $4000.00 sleep study, but they also paid for my CPAP machine. Absolutely no out-of-pocket for me on that one. That being said, I am going to try my best to wear it as I should. I REALLY felt a difference this morning after using it. I woke up feeling like superwoman. I still have a lot of lost sleep to catch up on. They say it takes a while to make up the sleep deficit that I have accumulated over the years. Apparently, I wasn't going into stage 4 sleep, nor REM. Wow.

Also, my doctor called and indeed my thyroid function is STILL low, and said that I would probably have to be put on meds, but that he is going to wait two more months and then retest me. I am glad he is testing me one more time, although, it is a pain in the ass to wait for medication that might make me feel better. I think once you start taking thyroid medicine you are on it for life, so I want him to be sure that I definitely need it first.

Enough of that health stuff.

My daughter moved out a couple of weeks ago. She is VERY homesick, but I think she will get used to it. She only ended up moving a couple of blocks from me, but the house does seem empty. She sent me a text at 2am the other day telling me she was sooo homesick - and then at 6am she was standing over my bed looking at me. She had been bike riding the day before and rode too many miles. Her aching muscles woke her up, so where was she to go??? MOM's. Yep. That's me. Curer of all ailments. Thank you. Thank you. Next time. I hope it is more like 10am than 6am.
