When I set about making my doctors appointments, I was amaze at the speed at which my calendar filled up. Two weeks - almost solid of something on each date. Then as I began going to those visits, more was added. My head is in a complete whirl.
Yesterday were the injections, and while I still am feeling a few twinges, there is some relief! I discovered I am still not comfortable standing for a time period. The back still hurts. And as long as I am fairly careful with the shoulders, they are better.
I got the call yesterday from the hospital I wanted. Prayers were answered!! They sent me a 10 page packet to return today, and I go tonight at 7:30 for the sleep study. I am hoping I will be sleeping soundly so they wake me to put the mask on. This will mean only one study. I took one of the sleeping pills the sleep doc gave me, and it worked!!! So - tonight for sure.
In the literature it said that I can watch TV or read as I normally would - - - until lights out. That sounds rather ominous. With the technician waking us (me - don't know how many there are) at 6:30 I am thinking it is going to be fairly early. I will bet before my usual midnight!!!
I am glad I have had the sleep study before. I won't be so terribly nervous. But I know I still do not sleep well in a strange bed.
So - have a great evening. I am sure I will be here bright and early tomorrow - and then off to PT in the afternoon. Money, money,money thanks to my wonderful Medicare Advantage Plan (which really isn't for me!!!!0

I was so pissed at mine..I got there at 9 or so ..hooked me up ..let me read till got sleepy.(had the pill) and hey woke me up at 4 and unhooked me and sent me home..45 minute drive half a sleep to West..fuuuck..they are idiots..
Fred really enjoyed his sleep study--but then, he was a strange guy, LOL. Around here, you go in at 7:30, go to sleep around 11:00 and they wake you at 7:30 and...give you breakfast--then send you home.
