The nurse called me from the doctor's office today. She wanted to give me the results to my sleep oximeter test. It looks probable that I have sleep apnea. Meaning that I stop breathing when I am sleeping.
I also probably have hypoxemia. That means my blood is not getting enough oxygen so I need to have further and more involved tests to determine why.
Now, I may not have a medical degree, but it would seem to me that I am not getting enough oxygen because I am not breathing!
On the upside, though, I get new jammies because there is no way I am wearing my old, comfy Eeyore pjs to sleep in public.
Indeed.
