So far, problems seem minor and correctable, but will not know much until Monday afternoon. Guess I'll be here until Tuesday. Glad my insurance is good.

 Minor and correctable sounds good,lets keep it that way. Good to hear from you,was beginning to wonder.

Home for one night, now tonight I will do a sleep study at a sleep clinic. Results of this test will tell whether I need a second night of sleep study, and what I have to look forward to as far as inhalers or sleep machines.

Have a good friend that is a med-tech at a sleep clinic, but fortunately never had to be under her services.   Just being home sounds real good to me.

Papaw, I have been sleeping with Breathe Right Strips for the last few months. It did great things for me. I don't want a CPAP schnorkus in my nose.

The sleep study was quite an experience! 26 or 27 sensors hooked up along with oxygen for the first 1 1/2 hours of sleep. Then a mask covering the nose connected to the CPAP machine for a couple of hours.
That wasn't so bad except that they wanted me to sleep on my back only. That makes my mouth open and disrupts the air flow, so they put a rubber strap on my chin to stop my mouth from opening. Not a good feeling at all. Slept fitfully for an hour.
Then they put on a full mask covering the nose and mouth with elastic straps to hold the whole set up on my head, and pumped up the volume of air. I guess the next 2 hours was better sleep, but the awareness of the mask and air was really bothersome.
I hope the doctor doesn't decide I need this thing! I'd rather try inhalers first.
