Sleep Clinic

After getting up at five in the morning and heading to Issaquah for a doctors appointment I was tired. That made sense because I was meeting with a sleep doctor. I feel sort of flawed. I have always been a snorer. But I think now it has gone to the point of apnea. It makes sense with things that happen to me including waking up feeling like I am not breathing or out of breath. I sometimes wake up coughing because of what feels like water going down my breathing tube. Plus with Jon told me on the trip to Spring Training sold me on the fact I may stop breathing at night when I sleep.

I decided that I should have that looked at. Sleep apnea I know is a deadly condition that causes many problems with the heart long term. I don't want that to happen. So I went to Issaquah for my first appointment. I am going to have a sleep study done at the end of next month to determine what is happening. They will be able to see if it is severe sleep apnea or some other condition all together. I honestly hope it is something other than apnea.

I do know I don't feel like I have gotten a good nights sleep in ages. I know I am always getting woken up for fire calls and I go to bed late, but there is more to it. Even with eight to nine hours of sleep I still feel unrested. So maybe this is what I need to make life better.

I will know more in about six weeks.

Following that appointment I worked on the roles for the website. It is a very interesting system. There are a ton of pages I have to update to make them work. Ricky has worked on them before and he is going to show me where I need to update pages at.

After work I went home and watched some of the Mariners game and Bill got some pizza for dinner. I had that before it was time for House to come on. I watched House and another TV show, but I was getting so tired because of getting up so early this morning I was ready for bed.
