Imagine me going to bed. Then imagine me shoring, with a touch of sleep apnea. That is what is going to be measured tonight....

Several weeks ago, I noticed that my CPAP machine was generating a message telling me that it has exceeded its projected life span. Since life without a working CPAP machine would not be good for my health, I had to visit a sleep doctor AND schedule a sleep test. Well, tonight is that sleep test.
Normally, I sleep in some form of feminine nightwear. So, to take this test, I had to buy a pair of men's pajamas from Amazon and hope they fit. They arrived yesterday, and now I'm packing a to-go bag for an overnight stay.
My problem is that I'm usually awake until 1-2 am. This is not good for someone taking a sleep test. Hopefully, this won't be a problem this time around. But I wonder - will they be starting from scratch to determine if I have sleep apnea, or will they be measuring my breathing for the prescription I'll need for a new CPAP machine.
Ideally, I'll have the new machine by mid-October. If not, I hope I have it before Thanksgiving. Keep your fingers crossed.
PS: Tomorrow, I can revert to Marian mode and go and get a Mani-Pedi. Yay!
