How we roll….

You know, my posting does go through a definite ebb and flow – nothing, nothing, nothing, then BAM! I post.  It’s how I keep all my avid readers on their toes.

So, today, I went in for the results of my sleep study – yes, I had a sleep study done about 3 weeks back  – super interesting if you have never had one.  First off, they hook up about a bazillion little electrode things all over your head, face, arms, legs and chest – then you are supposed to ’sleep’.  If you have to go to the bathroom, you have to call out for help, b/c they have to unhook the bazillion of wires from the machine.  It took over an hour to hook everything up.  totally cool, really, but I felt like I was being assimilated by the Borg.  So, why the sleep study?  because i’m tired all the time – to the point that after I wake up, I take my shower, and then could fall asleep sitting on the couch wiht coffee in hand.  I can doze at a stop sign easily.  So, my doctor thought mayb eI had sleep apnea. I doubted that, due to the fact that I don’t even snore – but you know, she’s the doctor.  so, today are the results. Guess waht they found?  I need to lose weight.  WHAT?  I HAD NO IDEA?!?!?!    No crap.  I could have told them that without billing insurance $2300.  Mild sleep apnea due to weight.  Duh.  So, that was worth the trip.  BUT – I did get one bonus out of it..that’s that she did write me a prescription for a mouth guard – which my dentist has said I need for about 3 years now – or longer – because I clench my teeth.  Well, dental insurance doesn’t cover that – and it’s $400, so guess who has NOT gotten it.  Well, now it can be a medical issue that I not clench my teeth, because I have apnea, so she wrote that for me, and now I will attempt to get it paid that way.  so, I guess there is a silver lining.  And hey, I found out how a sleep study works.  That was cool.

And speaking of weight loss – I’m now down 13.2 pounds.  I’ve lost 5% of my inital weight.  Now, if I could just exercise.
