Well, not really...but it's a good title! Actually, it's more like "sleeping in a strange place with little sensors attached to my body in uncomfortable places"...but that's sorta the same, right?
Tonight is the post-surgery follow-up sleep study that should tell if I still have sleep apnea. I'm sure hoping I don't, and Kim insists that I'm so silent that she has to check to see if I'm there at night if she wakes up and I'm asleep. I think that's a compliment...
Anyway, I just got back to bed and am wired up. There are electrodes on my shins, my upper chest, straps around my belly and my chest, two electrodes on my chin tucked into my beard, one behind each ear, three on my forehead, and three in my hair. Also, there is a thing that runs into each nostril and hangs down over my mouth, another electrode on my throat, and this pulse thingie on my finger. I'm typing this with "the other nine fingers," as the technician suggested.
I'm anxious about this, of course, because I don't want to have apnea. That will necessitate all sorts of CPAP ugliness that I'd certainly rather avoid. Well, we'll see tonight, I guess.
you should have had someone take a picture of this. what a treasure that would be.
