5:17 total sleep

Doctor was really concerned with my plunging O2 levels during the episodes as they put a lot of stress on my heart. My resting heart rate was in the 55 range and skyrocket to 115 during the peak of my stoppages.
I was supposed to pick up a unit today, fully covered by insurance, but my doctors nursing assistants forgot to send the order over last week. They are terrible at all this stuff. Also suck at prescription refills.
I pray to have it by Monday night.

You'll probably lose a shit-ton of weight after you get your machine. The amount of cortisol coursing through your system due to those episodes is pretty mind-boggling.
