"You're at 80%... Are you feeling rested?"

[Dana]

I just got a dumb call from the oxygen company about my bipap... Telling me I'm only at 80% and I'm still experiencing sleep apnea... They want me to have another sleep study. What's another study going to prove? I hardly slept through the first one. The mask doesn't stay on my face the way its supposed to so of course I'm not 100%. She asked me if I was getting a good sleep and if I was sleeping during the day? I sleep during the day but only because my sleeping habits suck and i stay up all night... These people frustrate me.

This post feels like it came from the future.

'Sir, your oxygen levels are only at 80%!'

'Fuck that, I'm climbing this mountain.'

They gave me a better mask...

Is it a movie quality Chewbacca mask?

Did they give you an ideas as to why your at 80 % ? Does not seem like a good test if all they do is hook you up to a machine and tell you your percentages. Or is there a second part to the test.

I have a feeling I know why it was 80%... The mask would slide up on my face when I was sleeping thus big gaps of air were escaping, that coupled with the constant need to adjust it and wipe my face off from drooling (My hydrocephalus causes me to breathe through my mouth because my nasal passages are small), the mask itself was piss poorly designed. They gave me a better one that fits my face better and covers more than just the mouth.

the test was a joke... there was no "sleep" as hard as i tried to.... I've had sleep apnea since i was born.
