Message: <blockquote data-quote="stepper" data-source="post: 2057567" data-attributes="member: 70">I had surgery in early December, and the surgeon told me I had some serious problems and needed a sleep study ASAP. So, we got an appt. for one, and got in a day before end of the year. Needed to get in because we had met our deductable for the year. Anyway, the room was really nice, had a great mattress, tv, etc. But, they literally had about 20 wires hooked up to my head. Then a few on chest, each leg, monitor taped to index finger. They left the room at 9:50pm, and I just could not go to sleep. I literally laid there the whole night. It was impossible to move, and the thought of them watching me with a camera (didn't see it), was just creepy. The nurse came back in at 5:30am, and I was just laying there waiting for her. I asked her if I had even slept, and she said she thought I dozed off a few times, but never got to sleep well.Anyway, they called 2 days ago, and said I have sleep apnia. Yea! I have to get the machine now too. He said they coudn't get it added to last years insurance, so I'm gonna get to pay for 20% of it, whatever that comes out to.I'm excited about having some rest finally, but not excited about wearing a darth vader mask now.</blockquote>
