According to recent tests (EEG, MRI) my brain is just fine. I think I’ll have that crocheted and framed for the whole world to see.
Brain Works as Intended.
Move Along.
Nothing to See Here.
Am I relieved? You betcha! The test I didn’t pass with flying colors, though, was the one for sleep apnea. I have sleep apnea. According to the doctor I stop breathing, on average, 26 times an hour.
I asked, “Did you mean a night? That I stop breathing 26 times a night?”
“No, 26 times an hour, putting you squarely in the range of moderate sleep apnea.”
Huh. No damn wonder my brain feels like Swiss cheese. No wonder I couldn’t remember how to operate a simple screw driver. (Righty tighty, lefty loosey, am I right?)
Soon I’ll be fitted with a CPAP machine that will magically put an end to all my confusion. Or at least that confusion caused by a lack of oxygen. Look out evil doers, I’ll soon be primed for world domination. I promise to be a benevolent overlord.
Peace, people!
Oh, a sincere thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me. Love you all.

Anytime you get a treatable diagnosis I think that’s a good thing! You sort of weren’t really breathing at all were you? Did Studly never notice the gaps in your breathing? I can only imagine the difference once you master the Cpap and really sleep with an adequate level of O2 🙂

That’s a little worrying, especially since I won’t get my CPAP for a month and my husband’s on a huge motorcycle trip. But I’m not planning on dying any time soon. Probably just jinxed myself…😳

Ugh! Don’t even say that! What about those things they advertise on TV that you can use instead of CPAP? I guess the doc might smirk if you questioned him about that…**sure, TV has all the shortcuts**…

That is very encouraging news. no wonder you were feeling foggy, your oxygen level would have been so darn low.

I have a friend who was fitted with such a machine just last month and she said she is astonished how much more awake she feels during the day now. 🙂
Sweet dreams! Let us know how you feel after you’ve tried it out for a while!
